About this listen
In this enigmatic follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut novel The Cuts That Cure, Arthur Herbert returns to the Texas-Mexico border with this saga of a small town’s bloody loss of innocence.
Amoret, Texas, 1982. Life along the border is harsh, but in a world where cultures work together to carve a living from the desert landscape, Blaine Beckett lives a life of isolation. A transplanted Boston intellectual, for 20 years locals have viewed him as a snob, a misanthrope, an outsider. He seems content to stand apart until one night when he vanishes into thin air amid signs of foul play.
Noah Grady, the town doctor, is a charming and popular good ol’ boy. He’s also a keeper of secrets, both the town’s and his own. He watches from afar as the mystery of Blaine’s disappearance unravels and rumors fly. Were the incipient cartels responsible? Was it a local with a grudge? Or did Blaine himself orchestrate his own disappearance? Then the unthinkable happens, and Noah begins to realize he’s considered a suspect.
Paced like a lit fuse and full of dizzying plot twists, The Bones of Amoret is a riveting whodunit that will keep you guessing all the way to its shocking conclusion.

It’s really interesting when you reflect back in time to how people like doctors really came across they were town and villages lifelines and you get that impression from a few instances that occur early on in the story. I was taken back by the twists when they kicked in and how this turned around to the doctor becoming a suspect. I also felt a little bit silly when I realised Amoret was actually in fact a place. The mystery that occurred was adventurous and I did eventually fall for the Texas accent that was flowing through my ears. I did have to think twice with what El Paso was too.
Although I didn’t love this audio I did think it did a great job at attempting to catch my full attention it just wasn’t the right audio for me. I think this is a book I would’ve appreciated reading more than listening to. However I have to say the author is great with the detail and bringing the setting to life for you to visualise.
