Skin and Bones

Written by Tom Bale

Narrated by Gordon Griffin

On a cold January morning, a nightmare awaits in a small Sussex village. A deranged young man goes on the rampage, shooting everyone in his path before taking his own life. It is a senseless, tragic event, but sadly not an unfamiliar one. At least, that's what everyone thinks. Only Julia Trent - believed to be the sole survivor - knows there was a second man involved. But after being shot and badly injured, her account of the massacre is ignored. But she cannot let it rest there. Together with Craig Walker, the journalist son of one of the victims, Julia sets out to find the truth. As they peel back the layers of a dark and dangerous conspiracy, they discover the slaughter didn't begin on that bitter day in January. And worst of all, it won't end there...

Reviews for Skin and Bones

[barpurple · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A complicated and believable story of jealously, greed and maddness. Skin and Bones suprised me at many points and compelled me to keep reading just one more pages no matter how late it was.

It's a thriller. Set near home. How could I fail to enjoy it? Taught plot, well written, although perhaps a predictable outcome? Unlike the beginning which is far from the norm in Sussex...
