Blog Tour - Her Pretty Bones by Carla Kovach

THE UNPUTDOWNABLE NEW THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NEXT GIRL

She’s just the girl he’s looking for…

A young woman falls from a van speeding down a quiet road. Battered and bruised, she turns her head to the person who comes to her aid. ‘Help her’, she whispers before her eyes close.

Days later, the body of another young girl is found in a shallow grave just a few miles away. The similarities between the two girls are startling – same age, same frail body, same shocking red hair.

As the town fears there’s a serial killer living amongst them, Detective Gina Harte must put aside her own struggles at home, and catch the killer before he finds another perfect girl.

AN ABSOLUTELY HEART-STOPPING CRIME THRILLER FROM 8CARLA KOVACH – if you like Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza or Clare Mackintosh, Her Pretty Bones will have you hooked.



I am a huge Carla Kovach fan - Her Pretty Bones is Carla's third book in the fantastic series DI Gina Harte and I really think Carla is getting better and better with every new release. 

Her Pretty Bones is set in my local area, my childhood was spent in Redditch and I know the areas of the town in which Carla has set the book. The bakery on the corner of the town centre was a clear memory in my childhood and as the story went to Winyates I was able to follow the story. Although I don't think the Cleevesford area was a real place, there are plenty of areas around Redditch where the action could have taken place. It was also great to see Worcester included, the controversial gold beacon of the city's library, The Hive, included along with the rolling hills of Ronkswood Hill (near to where I live) all added a personal aspect to this book and I really enjoyed it.

The storyline is disturbing, starting with a young girl falling from the back of a moving van. Later the audience is introduced to  a young girl who appears to be being kept against her will, locked up looking after an old lady who is also very ill, the remains of another young girl found dumped in wooded area. 

The story is told from a number of different point of views, each adding a further layer to the story and keeping the reader involved in the storyline and needing to know more about the crimes being committed. DI Gina Harte does a fantastic job in moving the criminal investigation along at a continued pace where the story unfolds and comes to an unusual conclusion.

I really enjoyed this book, and as I have previously said, Carla is getting better and better with each book and I can't wait to read what comes next for DI Gina Harte.
