When Emma leaves her friend Abi at a party in the woods she believes that their lives are just
beginning. Many things will happen that night beneath the stark beauty of the stars but Emma
will never see her friend again. But what happens next in Whistling Ridge is so much more than
the story of a missing girl. It's a spellbinding story that will keep you guessing a story of
surprises and secrets regrets and rage love and lies. Abi's disappearance cracks open the
façade of this small town peeling away the layers of its past. Even within Abi's own family
there are questions to be asked - of the older brother whom Abi betrayed of the shining
younger sibling who hides his wounds of her mother and her father - both in thrall to the
fiery preacher who has an unsettling grasp on the whole town. And then there is Rat the
outsider whose exciting presence is a catalyst for change. Anything could happen in a
tinder-box like Whistling Ridge. All it will take is just one spark...the truth of what
happened that night at the Tall Bones. Beautifully written arresting and constantly
surprising TALL BONES is a gripping read from a stunning new voice.
