Caroline Mitchell always provides a well written, great thriller. I would recommend, a thoroughly good read! I highly recommend this as a fab read!

I have read several of Caroline Mitchell's books now, and yet again she does not disappoint.
I enjoy reading about DC Noble and there are plenty of twists in this book. A little gruesome and sinister in parts but that's what crime thrillers are about. and Slayton has their fair share of nasty secrets..
Part of a series but can be read easily as a standalone.

Thank you to Caroline Mitchell, Netgalley and Embla Books for an ARC in return for an honest review.

**The Bone House** by Caroline Mitchell is a gripping crime thriller that earns a well-deserved four stars for its intense plot and unexpected twists.

The story kicks off with a chilling event in Slayton, where hundreds of birds mysteriously fall from the sky into the lake. When the lake is dredged, the dark secret hidden beneath its waters is revealed: an old pram with the bones of a baby still strapped inside. This discovery sets the stage for a thrilling investigation led by Detective Sarah Noble, alongside forensic anthropologist Sophia Hudson and the exceptional young Elliott Carter.

Mitchell masterfully weaves a complex narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The suspense is palpable as Cora, a new mother, fears the unearthing of secrets she hoped would stay buried. The small-town setting adds to the story's eerie atmosphere, enhancing the sense of dread and mystery.

The characters are well-developed, with Detective Noble standing out as a determined and relatable protagonist. The dynamics between the investigative team bring an added depth to the story, making the unraveling of the cold case even more engaging.

What sets **The Bone House** apart is its ability to blend a haunting mystery with emotional undertones, exploring themes of guilt, fear, and redemption. The plot twists are well-executed, keeping you guessing until the very end.

Though the pacing occasionally slows, it only serves to build the tension, making the climax all the more satisfying. Fans of Cara Hunter, Alex North, and Stephen King will find much to love in this thrilling tale.

In conclusion, **The Bone House** is a compelling read that delivers on its promise of thrills and twists. Caroline Mitchell has crafted a memorable thriller that will leave readers eagerly anticipating her next work.

Phew! A creepy, spooky read. There are strange things going on at Slayton and DC Sarah Noble finds herself slap bang in the middle of it all. A gripping read.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I missed the 2nd installment of the Slayton Thriller series but it didnt make any difference to the story. It can easily be read as a stand alone. And just like all of Caroline Mitchell's books it was an easy read and delightfully creepy.

A murder of crows fell from the sky into a lake in Slayton (where else?). Seriously, if that wasn't enough to make people move out of there, I don't know what is! This was a thrilling, well-written, gripping and dark addition to the Slayton thrillers which I could not put down! What a great series! If you have not read one of the books in this series, I highly recommend it!

The Bone House is the third instalment of the Slayton thriller series, and it did not disappoint!
I absolutely love everything about this series. I love the characters, the writing style, the plots and all the twists. I was so excited to catch back up with Sarah and all the other characters in this book.

I won’t give too much away, but wow! This might even be my favourite book so far in the series. I really loved the plot in this book and it was interesting trying to work out whether something supernatural was at play or not. The twists blew me away and I could not put it down, especially towards the end!
This was brilliant and I hope there will be a fourth instalment of this series in the future.
Thank you so much to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A terrifying reality that had my heart pounding hard. Someone knows your secret and could murder be involved?

I normally enjoy Caroline Mitchell but I found this book too creepy to read much of. All the talk of animals' skulls was bad enough but once she started talking about dead birds falling from the sky I decided that it was all too macabre for me. I tried several times to start over with this book but the only thing I succeeded in doing was giving myself nightmares.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book

This was my first crime thriller ready by Caroline Mitchell. It is part of a series and I will be going back to read the other books in the series. That being said, it was still easy to follow and I did not feel like I really needed to read the other books in the series to get a grasp of the characters. Definitely would recommend to anyone that loves crime books. This one will keep you on the edge of your seat!

I thought this was a great read. The more I got into it the more it was hard to put down. I recommend this book to all Caroline Mitchell fans and any one looking for a good crime thriller to read.

A gripping read that was well written with a compelling story line. It was twisty and kept me guessing the whole time

A roller-coaster ride of emotions and suspense, this thriller will have you gasping one moment and holding your breath the next.

I found this book to be quite eerie and chilling to the bones. It is quite an immersive read that was chilling and a thrilling read. Did not disappoint

The Bone House is another excellent read in the brilliant Slayton Thriller series!
Detective Sarah Noble is asked to attend a local lake where a pram has been recovered. The bones of a tiny baby are still strapped into it. Who would do such a thing to an innocent newborn!?
When local resident, Cora, hears of the discovery panic sets in.
What follows is a highly emotional story with so many shocks and surprises along the way. I honestly didn’t know what to believe!
A heart-wrenching tale solved with intelligent policing, empathy, and a determination to discover the truth. Shocking, saddening truth.
Such clever writing.
I very much recommend!

** Many thanks to the author and publisher for my review copy via NetGalley. Apologies for the late review, after I requested this I realised I still needed to read books 1 and 2 first! **

Loved this story. It was an interesting case with many facets and a great ending that didn’t necessarily tie every5img up. Planning to read the first two books in this series.

Another cracking book from Caroline Mitchell. She always delivers a good read. Likeable and relatable characters with just the right amount of suspense and spookiness. Can't wait for her next obey

Full review to come on Goodreads and Amazon. Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for a review copy.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. This was a great read!! The story was packed with creepiness and mystery. I will be reading the rest of this series immediately.

I can't express how much I enjoy the Slayton series. It started with The Midnight Man which was enjoyable and just got better with the next two in the series. Creepy and twisty, you'll be reading with the lights on. While Ms. Mitchell does a great job of back filling the previous plot lines, I recommend reading them in order for the character development
