'Freeman is an excellent purveyor of psychological suspense.......Freeman expertly links the back stories of the Bones and the Bradleys and keeps the suspense at fever pitch'
( Daily Mail )'Well-developed characters and a thrilling climax'
( Publishers Weekly )Product Description
A teenager murdered. A teacher accused. A secret that won't stay buried.
A year ago, accusations of an affair with a pupil cost Mark Bradley his teaching job. Now the student's sister has been found dead, and Mark faces a hostile town convinced of his guilt. Hilary Bradley is determined to protect her husband, but digging into the girl's secrets proves dangerous. Her only ally is a quirky Florida detective named Cab Bolton. As the facts emerge about the murdered girl's past, Cab's suspicion grows that others are involved in her death. But there are people willing to kill to keep the truth hidden - and to make sure Mark pays the ultimate price for a young girl's murder. Hilary and Cab are both outsiders in a place that doesn't trust strangers and they're running out of time to find out what's buried in the ashes of the past...

I'm a Brian Freeman fan, having read all his previous novels and was really looking forward to The Bone House. While it's not a Jonathan Stride led story, Cab Bolton, the lead investigator here, is just as good and makes for a good character. The story starts with a flash-back to a fire in a house where a young girl gets trapped inside what turns out to be a murder scene. It then goes on to where she herself is murdered 6 years later and the main suspect is a teacher who was accused of having affair with her older sister, while he was her teacher, but it was never proved there was any affair, even the girl herself denied it. His wife is absolute in her trust and faith in her husband, and then it starts to look like it was maybe all connected to the fire many years before. However, there are some twists and turns and we are soon wondering what secrets really lie in Door County. Great read, full of suspense which will keep you on your toes. Loved it.

I discovered Brain Freeman a couple of years ago and quickly added him to my list of must-read crime authors (think Harlen Coben, Karin Slaughter et al). I found this book a bit heavy going to begin with but once I was into it I couldn't put it down and stayed up very late one night to see how it ended! Its a story full of moral questions and ambiguity...do we really know what the truth is and do we really trust those we love when you cant actually see what they are thinking. A couple of good twists and turns, can't say more spoilers! If you have never read Brian Freeman before I would highly recommend trying him out.

I have read all of Brians books, from his first book Immoral introducing Jonathan Stride....and I have enjoyed everyone of them....I have read lots of crime novels by well known Authors, but I am never as excited about new releases as I am with Brians....he has a style of writing that is easy to understand, read and does not lose the plot...at times you think you know 'who did it' but there is always that little twist where I say to myself (how clever....I didn't think of that!) Some reviewers may be disappointed that it is not another Stride novel....but hey, Cab's just as good and in many ways very similar to Stride! There are some hidden messages contained within this novel eg 'if you play with fire you get burned', 'no smoke without fire' but I guess it just depends on how deep a person you are or even how cynical you are...lol This book is all about a pro golfer who has an accident, becomes a teacher, then becomes entangled on speculation of having sex with one of his students, which in turn leads to murder of a member of that students family....is there a cover up, did he commit the crime, did he indeed have an affair...is his wife loyal, a fool or a true believer in faith, love and trust???? Make your own mind up....read the novel first! If you like crime novels? try it, do you like chapters that leave you wanting more? do you like novels where you cannot put the book down? Do you like to second guess the author? Do you like a good crime story that is easy to read with a realistic feel to it?? If yes, then go on, try it, what you gotta lose?? Enjoy x

Another cracker from Brian Freeman
What a good read. I have read all his Stride books and this standalone doesn't disappoint. It starts with a fire and ends with redemption - in more ways than one. Read more

Not so good
Let's face it Brian Freeman is never going to win any literary prizes but in the Jonathan Stride books he does rise above just being formulaic. Read more
