About
IN
HER BONES:
Fifteen
years ago, Lilith Wade was arrested for the brutal murder of six
women. After a death row conviction, media frenzy, and the release of
an unauthorized biography, her thirty-year-old daughter Edie Beckett
is just trying to survive out of the spotlight. She’s a recovering
alcoholic with a dead-end city job and an unhealthy codependent
relationship with her brother. Edie also has a disturbing secret: a
growing obsession with the families of Lilith’s victims. She’s
desperate to see how they’ve managed—or failed—to move on.
While her escalating fixation is a problem, she’s careful to keep
her distance. That is, until she crosses a line and a man is found
murdered. Edie quickly becomes the prime suspect—and while she
can’t remember everything that happened the night of the murder,
she’d surely remember killing someone. With the detective who
arrested her mother hot on her trail, Edie goes into hiding. She’s
must get to the truth of what happened that night before the
police—or the real killer—find her. Unless, of course, she has
more in common with her mother than she’s willing to admit…
Perfect
for fans of Ruth Ware, IN HER BONES features Moretti’s
“riveting and insightful” (Megan Miranda, New York Times
bestselling author) prose and “chillingly satisfying” (Publishers
Weekly) twists, and will leave you questioning the nature of
guilt, obsession, and the toxicity of familial ties.
***************
Edie
Beckett, a 30 year old on again off again alcoholic, lives her life
under the radar. She is content with people not recognizing her and
being able to go about her business. She also fears she could be
become a sociopath like her mother Lilith Wade. Lilith Wade murdered
6 people 15 years ago and it seems like no matter what she does or
how far she goes, Edie cannot outrun her past. Edie has become
obsessed with finding out all she can in regards to the families of
her mother's victims. She even goes as far as creating fake Facebook
accounts and befriending these people and sometimes even following
them in person. Her obsessive behavior may seem harmless to her, but
it is pretty stalker-ish to me. Even if she does at times “help”
them in small ways without them knowing.
Her
days of invisibility are over when someone she comes in contact with
ends up murdered. She is at the top of the suspect list in no time.
Edie is never one to give in though and she takes it upon herself to
try and figure who the real killer is while also attempting to hide
out from the cops. But what if she is the killer and just doesn’t
remember?
RATING:
3 out of 5.
