Summary
Told by a tart-tongued young woman with a love of Bruce Springsteen, Lies in Bone is at once a mystery and a coming-of-age tale fueled by dark secrets involving love, murder, and the truths worth lying for.
On Halloween 1963, 11-year-old Chuck Coolidge and his brother, Danny, are lost in a toxic smog covering the steel town of Slippery Elm, Pennsylvania. When the smog lifts, half the town is sick, and 20 people are dead. And Danny is missing. Now, more than 20 years later, Chuck's teenage daughter, Frank, plots her escape from this "busted and disgusted" town.
When a murdered child is found in the river, investigators link the crime to the disappearance of Danny in '63, and Frank's life is turned upside down. In the face of her worst fears, she must uncover her family's dark past if she wants to keep her sister, Boots, from the hands of the state.
As she discovers the unimaginable truth about Danny's disappearance, Lies in Bone culminates in a shocking 11th-hour reveal and an emotionally charged finale.

Reminiscent of ‘Where the Crawdags Sing’
I really enjoyed this book.
It had echoes of the same motion of ‘where the Crawdags sing’. I think this was also because of the beautiful lilting narration of Tawny Platis.
I was totally absorbed in the story from the beginning to the end.
Highly recommended

- Frank was the most love character I’m this story , yes he is rebellious and foul mouthed, but when he accept his mother’s forgiveness, I become soft and loving the character all along .
- heavy and emotional thriller. Not any kind of genre that is straight to the point of mystery and crime, it has a original writing to it that makes you wondering how and why.
- not my typical go to book but this was a great story.

Difficult to put my finger on it
The story is vaguely interesting however fairly predictable.
The narration is slow, moody with very little inflection or excitement. It feels like someone reading a story late at night trying not to be heard. The reader uses the same tempo throughout the book making it difficult to stay interested. Even the more gruesome scenes come across boring.
The narration makes it difficult to have any connection with the main character Frank who goes through some fairly extreme and emotional experiences. Although the character is broody she does exhibit more emotions with the narration doesn’t capture. The character Bernie is read very well however her part is small.
Overall I struggled to the end of this book, it didn’t translate well as an audio book and I wish I’d read it rather than listened. That way I would have created my own connection with Frank.
