I absolutely loved Loreth Anne White's latest novel, "The Unquiet Bones," a gripping and suspenseful tale that had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! 😍 "The Unquiet Bones" has a unique and fascinating vibe that drew me in right away. The discovery of human bones beneath an old chapel in the woods, and the subsequent reopening of a cold case, sets the stage for a riveting mystery that had me guessing until the very last page.

The characters in this book are brilliantly crafted, each with their own secrets and complexities that add depth to the story. Homicide detective Jane Munro, who is not only pregnant but also profoundly attuned to the preciousness of life, made for a compelling and relatable protagonist. And the group of old friends, the Shoreview Six, who are now highly respected and affluent members of their communities, are brought to life in a way that had me questioning their motivations and loyalties.

What I truly appreciated about this novel is how it skillfully explores the consequences of secrets and the lengths people will go to protect their own truths. The unraveling of the group as they grapple with their past and the shocking discoveries they face is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.

Loreth Anne White has once again proven herself as a master of suspense and storytelling. I'm already eager to read more of her work in the future! 📚 If you enjoy mysteries that delve into the complexities of human nature, secrets, and the bonds of friendship, "The Unquiet Bones" is an absolute must-read. I wholeheartedly give it 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed this mystery. Human bones are unearthed and it reopens an almost fifty year old cold case. I liked the characters and especially Detective Jane. I certainly hope there will be a sequel to this book as there’s lots more I want to know about her. I’ve not read this author before but I will be looking for more of her books.

Loreth Anne White continues to be one of my favorite authors and The Unquiet Bones solidified that.

The Unquiet Bones follows Jane Munro who is investigating the discovery of Annalise Jansens bones, who went missing decades earlier.

The way Loreth weaves different points of view together is truly brilliant. She always makes her twists shocking; yet completely realistic which most authors can’t seem to do. Her character development is always done beautifully.

I truly can’t get enough of her books and I’m not sure how I’ll survive til the next one! 😂

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Unquiet Bones by Loreth Anne White
I’ve enjoyed a few other of this author’s books and this one does not disappoint either. She weaves an intricate story that you’re constantly trying to piece together.
47 years ago Annalise went missing. Coincidentally so did another teenager, a boy Annalise knew, Darryl. Is there a connection? Did they run off together? For 47 years no one knew or no one was saying. Until one day excavators find some bones under an old chapel. And those bones are ready to talk. Annalise’s group of old friends are not happy about this discovery and are all worried about what these bones will say. But they aren’t the only ones worried. A good read and you won’t see the ending coming.
I also really enjoyed Jane, the head investigator in this case. I feel we might be hearing more about her.

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the eARC.
What a great read, I absolutely loved it!
Homicide Detective Jane Monro has been relegated to the Cold Case Division, a team consisting of one - herself. Her nerves are shot; not only has her fiancee disappeared from a mountain trip, she's also three months pregnant.
Her boss felt she needed a break.
However, she catches the cold case of a murder committed in the 1970's, which turns into a real puzzler, focusing on a group of 6 friends who are now much older, but not much wiser. It's a riveting case with a great, unexpected ending which I recommend highly. It's a superb book!

The Unquiet Bones is a gripping and involving crime mystery by one of my favourite authors, Loreth Ann White.
The discovery of human bones under an isolated old chapel ,reputedly haunted by the ghost of a young girl, leads poliice to suspect that they're related to the cold case of a missing teenager, Annalise Jansen.

At the time of Annalise's disappearance question were asked about a group of her peers,labelled "the Shoreview Six" by the media. While these young people were less than convincing the most common view was that the young Ms Jansen had run away with an older male friend,when his remains turn up as well attention turns their way.

This is an excellent story, with Homicide Detective Jane Munro determines to discover Annalise's fate half a century on ,the Shoreview Six by now in their twilight years and having done well in life are forced to face up to events back then that they'd rather not resurface. There are twists and high drama ,typically of this author sensitive topics are addressed.
As always in a Loreth Ann White book the characterisation is excellent and this is superior crime fiction, I finished it hoping that this is the beginning of a new series.

This book was very well done and kept me interested throughout.

I liked the forensics aspect of the story line and thoroughly enjoyed the character development.

I definitely did not see the twist coming and was genuinely shocked.

This ARC from NetGalley was phenomenal! Great writing. The author clearly did her research into the subject matter/science. Very good domestic thriller.

Loreth Anne White is a phenomenal writer. Her books are always 5 star reads for me and The Unquiet Bones is no exception. I couldn't put this book down because I just had to know what happened to Annalise and Darryl. Told from multiple POVs this well-written story will keep you guessing all the way until the shocking end.

Jane was a great character. She has such an interesting backstory. I hope she is featured in more books, and we find out what happened to Matt. I also really liked Angela's character growth. She was pretty horrible at first, so it was nice to see her learn from her mistakes.

The Unquiet Bones is brilliant, disturbing and heart-breaking and I highly recommend it! Expected publication is 3/5/2024.

Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC!

Another superbly written thriller by White! This book was dark, twisty and filled with tons of questionable characters. Most of which have deeply buried secrets that could ruin their lives. Alternating between the POVs of these characters and detective Munro, the story unfolds into a disturbing retelling of the past that will blow your mind. I thought I had it figured out multiple times, but I was completely shocked by the ending. I'd love for White to make this into a series with Jane. I really enjoyed her character and would love to have more.

I highly recommend this book to all the thriller junkies looking for a dark, fast read. And if you haven't read any of White's books yet, read them now! You will not be disappointed.

Thank you to the author, Montlake, and NetGalley for granting me digital access in exchange for my honest review!

A grisly discovery under a chapel in the woods of human bones wearing platform shoes.
A cold case reopened of a missing teenage girl, can Detective Jane Munro solve this with the lies and cover up of the girls' friends?
Annalise was not the only teen that disappeared that night, a young teenage boy also vanished without a trace, were the cases connected? Darryl, the boy, was blamed for Annalise's disappearance. Will his grieving family get closure?

What a terrific read this has been! The suspense and mystery and great police investigative work has been a pleasure to read! Loreth Anne White writes a terrific story that is planned out and keeps the reader guessing and on the edge of their seat.
Fifty year old mysteries can still be solved with the tools of todays forensics.
However, I would never have guessed who killed Annalise - nor who made her pregnant.
Brilliant book, suspenseful and disturbing.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this brilliant book in exchange for an honest review.

Good book! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, Action, intrigue, mystery, murder, family abuse, a great who done it, great plot twist, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This book was so well done! I was actually sad when I finished it. I loved the forensics aspect of the story line and the character development was great. I definitely did not see the twist coming and was shocked. If you like thrillers you will not be disappointed!

The Unquiet Bones by L.A. White, published ny Montlake, is a gripping thriller that had me right from the start.
Jane Munro is an homicide investigator who suffers a personal loss herself. Her fiance just vanished on a hiking trip months ago. She wants to bury herself in the latest case when the remains of a young woman are found.
The story is set in BC Canada, has multiple povs, tells in graphic detail everylittlething.
The book is not for the faint of heart, deals with some sensitive subject, consider you warned.
All in all, a great read with some length in it, 4,5 stars.

Just WOW! Loreth Anne White is a new to me author and I’m totally hooked. This was a fantastic read. Great characters that made me feel like I was a part of the story. Well laid out and perfectly stitched together and executed. Captivating book all the way around and I can’t wait to read more of her books. Highly recommend
Thank you NetGalley and Loreth Anne White for the opportunity to read and review this fabulous book.

A great thriller with lots of twists and turns. I really thought that I knew where the story was going, but the final twist got me!

I absolutely loved The Maids Diary and couldn’t wait to devour this one and devour it I did!

Told from multiple POV- this story had me guessing all the way until the end, and I did not see that final twist coming!

Thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t wait to go back and read some of her older books as well.

🦴 BOOK / REVIEW 🦴

If you trust my recommendations (even a smidge) and haven't read a book by @lorethannewhite, I don't think we can be friends 🤣.

ALL KIDDING ASIDE - I utterly devoured her newest book, #theunquietbones. Thank you to the @netgalley and #montlake Gods for offering this as #readnow - please please PLEASE go grab this gripping and chilly #thriller - you will not be disappointed, I promise.

In typical Loreth Anne fashion, I could not put this book down. I normally steer clear of novels that involve too many characters, but they were easy to keep up with and all play a very critical role in the plot.

When I tell you that my jaw DROPPED at the twist, I am not lying! I quite literally never saw it coming 😮‍💨. It was crafted so perfectly that the reader will assume that every character but the killer is actually responsible for Annalise and Darryl's death.

The crime scene and autopsy analysis are also incredibly well written. I love that I learn more and more about forensics every time I pick up this genre.

An easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. I am your BIGGEST FAN! Keep up the amazing work - I have loved every single book by you, Loreth Anne ❤️.

This book publishes 3/5/2024!

It looks like Annalise Jansen may be coming home at last. Missing for decades, the discovery of bones in the woods appear to belong to the missing teenager. Detective Jane Monro never wants to deliver this kind of news to grieving parents, but in this case, she hopes that the news will help the girls parents get some kind of closure. But at the same time, a group of Annalise‘s old friends feel very differently. They promised each other many years ago to keep the secrets of their terrible mistake buried and now they have too much at stake to risk those secrets from coming to life.
