Her Sister's Bones: An Absolutely Gripping Crime Thriller

Detective Iris Locke, Book 1

By: Geraldine Hogan

Narrated by: Shelley Atkinson

A baby is snatched from her pram in the garden. She’s never found. Thirty years later, her sister, now a mother herself, is brutally killed.

When Anna Crowe is killed in her sleep alongside her children, the quiet local community of Corbally is shocked. It’s also a chilling reminder of when her sister, Janey, disappeared as a baby, 29 years ago, never to be seen again.

Detective Iris Locke is assigned to the case, and, after a year undercover which ended in failure when her cover got blown, she’s desperate to make her mark - and to live up to the reputation of her ex-cop father, the former head of the Limerick Murder Squad.

Jack Locke ran the investigation into the disappearance of baby Janey. But by reopening the old case, Iris is also reopening old wounds for the team. Can she untangle the dark secrets that lead to one sister vanishing and the other’s death - even if it means digging into the past of someone very close to her?

Fans of Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons, and L.J. Ross won’t want to miss this - the first book in a gripping new crime series.

Thoroughly Enjoyed!

I loved escaping into this book - unique story - and I'm really good at guessing what is going to happen a few chapters in but this one had a plot twist that actually made sense and surprised me! There were a few editing blips in the narration but overall narration was lovely.

This book is absolutely incredible!!!

OMG what a lovely surprise this book was! If you are a fan of crime novels with characters that have true substance GET THIS BOOK! I hope the author continues this series. If she does I will buy every one!

Good so far

I’m enjoying this story and would love to hear the ending…but for some reason the last 40 ish minutes won’t download. Not sure if it’s the book or app, but don’t have this problem with other titles.

good storyline, just not carried out well

The story was choppy, had to concentrate to follow. Narrator never paused after sentences so more focus was needed to follow.

Amazing!

I loved this book! Well written, suspenseful, hopefully one in a long series of stories!

Particularly like Shelly Atkinson

The strong regional accents are so important. She is fantastic. The next narrator is sanitized.

Predictable plot

It took very little reading to determine the ending. I held out hoping for a plot twist of some kind, but that never materialized. Reader was pleasant, but raced through some of the reading which was a little distracting.

Great Irish mystery

Good story, a mystery set in Limerick. Really Loved the authentic accent! So many stories set in Ireland have leaned towards a more English accent or muted the Irish, which is less appealing and authentic.
