A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense,
A House With Good Bones explores the dark, twisted roots lurking just
beneath the veneer of a perfect home and family.
"Mom seems off."
Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the
quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone.
She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's
excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with
just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery
shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure
it out.
But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn't what it used to be.
Gone is the warm, cluttered charm her mom is known for; now the walls
are painted a sterile white. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises and
looks over her shoulder even when she's the only person in the room. And
when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth
hidden beneath the magazine-worthy rose bushes, and vultures are
circling the garden from above.
To find out what's got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will
go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried.
