Cut To The Bone

by Sally Spedding

In 2008, when Rita Martin's feckless husband leaves her and their three children to fend for themselves, her world is turned upside down. When they have to move to Coventry's Scrub End estate, her every worst fear is realised. Yet how can she possibly know that her eldest son's best friend from a nearby luxury development, has only evil in mind? A teenage boy with, it seems, everything, yet damaged and dangerous like the very area itself. And will DI Tim Fraser believe Rita enough to help protect her family and bring a killer to justice?

CUT TO THE BONE is a dark psychological chiller, set in troubled times. You will be left unsure whom to trust and wondering, when all else fails, if even love is enough.

[Thorne Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chilling. Seriously chilling. Fully three-D landscapes, full of menace in themselves, peopled with desperate characters. It makes me wonder if the nightmare of raising a murderer is every bit as bad as the nightmare of having a child murdered. A very compelling read, hard to put down.
