When I read the synopsis, I imagine this book would be suspenseful. However, it was a less intense kinda thrill and more of a going in a circle kinda goose chase. Cherrie had more potential of showing her alter ego, “little bones” but I was upset that it didn’t go there. The plot twist didn’t really make sense but I guess it was a throw the audience away from the clues that were mentioned such as Cherrie’s mother in law was showing. Overall, I gave this a 4 star because the story telling of the narrator was good and it kept me from finishing the story.

Wonderful book. The story was well told and researched. A quick read about an unknown serial killer. Cute cover.

The summary of this book is short -- but the meaning of the whole story is in those few words which are enough to draw the reader in. Cherrie is a victim of her father's savage murders in the way that she needs to start over with a new name, her own family, her new future - not as "Little Bones". But a podcast brings that crashing down as a recent death is so very similar to those her father committed. The twists and turns that endanger her son and herself, as well as her sanity, make the book a page-turner to discover the truth behind her memories. A bit slow at times, and Cherrie is not the most likeable character, but overall a good, though chilling, read. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the opportunity to read and review this advance reader copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #NetGalley #LittleBones

This book has a good plot and the premise is interesting
The twists were so predictable and the pace was off
Unfortunately the second half was nowhere as good as the first half

Wow this was intriguing, dark and powerful. The plot was very well written and had a lot of unexpected twists I didn’t see coming

An interesting read with lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed this book but did guess the ending quite early on.

This true-crime thriller has a really strong plot line that will keep you turning pages. However, for me, the main character was volatile, and I found some of her actions and responses over-blown while others were not quite enough. I also found her relationships odd, especially the one with her boyfriend/ father of the missing child. In the end, I just didn't like her much :( These were some things that didn't work for me, but for those that love a heart-pounding plot, this will fit the bill! Thank you NetGalley and publishers for providing a digital ARC for review.

This bark was pretty dark which I didn’t expect but it was also very well written. The pov was also very interesting as it was the daughter of a killer. Awesome dark read.

Can't believe it took me this long to pick this up and read it , while I like the twists and the flow of the story there was times it felt a little slow but I think that while it did feel like that ,it helped the pace of the story , as for the characters themselves, I just could find anything about them to like. But the one thing I did like was how the story was wrote , in such aqay that its very thoroughly in the detail of the the crimes that are committed to the point it makes you feel like your actual seen them been committed.

I wanted to love this one. But unfortunately, this one did not work out for me and I DNF’d it. The story was too slow and fizzle out and I figured something out rather quickly. This might be a great book for someone just starting out with thrillers.

Overall: I really liked the premise and idea of the book but foreseeable twists, annoying characters and extremely slow, boring pace made me cut my points. I’m rounding up 2.5 stars to 3! The book has so much potential and I wish I could enjoy it more! But it stayed at Switzerland territory- neither hate it nor like it!

I was unable to download this audiobook in time as I didn't realize it was on my shelf. It was archived too quickly from the time I requested it.

"Little Bones" by N V Peakcock is a One of A Kind book. It was amazingly unique in it's own kind of way. Just as the title states, "Little Bones" is focused on a crime committed in which the bones of the human skeleton are used in a criminal case to put a murderer behind bars. I chose to read this book because the TV series BONES is my favorite TV show and when I saw the title of this book, I just knew, somewhere in this book, bones of the human body would be a main topic of discussion. The book is very thoroughly in detail on the crimes that are committed. to where as you read the description, it's as if you are inside the book
