Close to the Bone marks the start of a fascinating new series. It is titled as Widow’s Island Novella. This one is a mystery thriller with a prominent role of a modern detective in each of its chapters. The novel is beautifully written by Kendra Elliot, who already had an established repute of a quality fictional writer. A couple of her worthy novels include A Merciful Death and The Last Sister. As expected from Kendra Elliot, both of these are mystery thrillers and with a highly absorbing story.
The narration of Close to the Bone novel is done by Christine Williams. She managed to give an excellent performance and make it a pleasant experience for the listeners.
Cate Wilde is a Special Agent in FBI. She returned home to a highly remote Pacific island in the Northwest. She gets a phone call saying that remains of a teenage girl are found on an island nearby.
Tessa Black is a local deputy and also a childhood friend of Cate. They both confronted the boring weather and misery that leads to make sense of death. The complications in the situation multiplied as Cate’s attention got diverted with the coroner on the case. Distraction was also due to the memories that took her a couple of decades in the past. The remains of the teenage girl also suggested similarities with the Samantha. She was an old friend of both Cate and Tessa. She vanished when she was just 14 years old.
Kendra Elliot managed to become the bestselling author in Wall Street Journal. This give good confidence to the readers who are considering Kendra Elliot for the first time.
