5.0
- As with any crime novel, please check trigger warnings with this one -
This book has been sat on my shelf for years, and I've been avoiding it after being put off by some bad crime novels. Today, I randomly had the motivation to read it, and I'm so glad I did.
'The Girl on the Train' and 'Sharp Objects' are tough to beat for me, but 'My Sister's Bones' is definitely up there with them.
It was fast-paced, engaging, and easy to follow. I was really intrigued by all of the characters, and Ellwood did a perfect job of hiding the plot twist in plain sight. I'm usually good at spotting the twists in crime books, but this one genuinely shocked me, and that's a major plus for me. Looking back now it's so obvious - perfectly disguised.
I can't say much more without completely spoiling it, but if you're looking for a great crime novel be sure to pick this one up!
