Sinopse

"I collected the first bone when I was twelve. This fact was not mentioned in court... Such a tiny little bone, more like a tooth. I only kept it to keep him safe."
 
Kathryn Darkling, imprisoned in Holloway, is facing death by hanging for her vengeance killing. Haunted by a spirit, she still hopes to perform the ancient black magic that will free her soul, or her struggle to punish the mighty will have been in vain. Will the love of her life come to her aid?
 
Or can she find a way to escape her fate?
 
Winner of The Virginia Prize for Fiction, Bone Rites is a dark, literary tale of love, loss and one woman’s obsessive fight for justice and redemption within a ruthless world.
 
5/5 stars *Possible spoilers below* I LOVED this book. I loved the style, the writing, the Gothic horror, the protagonist, everything about it. Bone Rites is told through the eyes of a British noblewoman, Kathryn Darkling. Kathryn is a morally complex protagonist with a bit of a ghost problem. She wants to do everything possible to save her brother, especially because she considers herself responsible for his death. I loved the “deathbed confession” style of writing in this book. I’ve always loved the unreliable narrator types, and Kathryn is a perfect example. Check this book out if you’re a fan of Gothic/magic/historical fantasy. Thank you again to NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book.

The propulsive new John Adderley case and follow-up to the award-winning, international bestselling Scandi noir thriller The Bucket List 
 
Alicia Bjelke has always been “the other sister.” She is the coding genius behind a wildly successful dating app she started with her sister, Stella, but because Alicia’s face is disfigured, she’s created a life in the background while beautiful Stella is  
the face of the company. When Stella is found dead, Alicia’s life changes utterly as she becomes the focus of the investigation. 
 
The case is assigned to former FBI agent John Adderley, living in Sweden in witness protection and battling demons from his past life. As John investigates the case, he learns that Alicia and Stella have always had a difficult relationship. The  
deeper John delves into the sisters’ past, the clearer it becomes that Stella’s murder may be just one piece in the puzzle of a larger crime. As John follows the trail, the old life he thought he left behind in the States begins to catch up with him. 
 
With a deft mix of masterful suspense and psychological depth, authors Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström deliver a heart-pounding new entry to the John Adderley series. As with The Bucket List, Mohlin & Nyström’s award-winning  
debut, The Other Sister is an ambitious Scandinavian crime thriller that is compelling, richly textured, and gripping from start to finish.
