About this eBook

‘An exciting new voice in thriller fiction. Little Bones is a gripping read!’ Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her EyesI have three names: I was born Leigh-Ann. I became Cherrie. When I was a child, they called me Little Bones...

My father was Mr Bones – the notorious serial killer of 25 years ago.

As a child I witnessed his crimes.

Everything is different now. I have a new identity. I’m a mother. I am finally free.

Until that podcast. I should never have listened.

They’re linking a recent disappearance to the crimes of the past.

They know who I am. They’re calling me Little Bones again.

They say I’m a villain but I’m not. I’m a victim.

You believe me, don’t you?

A chilling, gripping psychological thriller about escaping a dark past. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell's None of This is True, Gillian McAllister's Wrong Place Wrong Time and twisted TV series like Mindhunter.

An amazing thriller that just keeps ratcheting up the tension until you want to scream! Cherrie is happy, she lives with her boyfriend and their lovely, cheeky son. Works in the meat and fish department of the local independent supermarket, has a loopy best friend and spends her spare time watching Strictly with her boyfriend and son or Grey's Anatomy if she's on her own. The only problem is that Cherrie has secrets and then the podcast happens! Oh my goodness what a thrill fest! I couldn't stop listening, fell into every trap that the author, N. V. Peacock, left for the hapless reader and listened in agony to the brilliant narrator, Stephanie Racine as she portrayed Cherrie's reactions to the fear and stress as her life falls apart. It's an amazing book and it lingers...EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
