Title: Depressing Bones
Product review: This novel is less about a murder of a young girl than it is about the effect such a brutal crime has on the members of the victim's family. Not sure we needed this novel to educate us on the fact that violent crimes scar more people than the immediate victims. And strangely, the book seems to suggest the victim is oh so lucky to have been murdered because she is so happy to be in her magical heaven. I give this book two stars instead of one because it is hard to shake and the author is very talented in telling her story. But, for me, her talents cannot overcome a story which has too many negative threads. For most, there's enough suffering taking place in the real world. But if you are the sort who likes downer books, you'll LOVE this one.
