'Fabulous, atmospheric' ― The Sun

'Creepy and complex' ― The Times

'A beautifully written cliff-hanger of a thriller' ― Irish Independent

Buried in the shadows and roots of the forest is a deadly secret that was never meant to come out . . .

Driving through the mountains in a fierce winter storm, David Hunter is forced to seek shelter at a remote village. But a one-night stop-over at the dilapidated Hillside House becomes deadly after a gruesome discovery in the depths of the surrounding forest.

With communications down and the only road washed out by the storm, Hunter is unsure who - if anyone - he can trust. And as long-buried secrets of a feud amongst the locals begin to emerge, he knows that whatever dark past the isolated community might be hiding, there's no one he can call on for help.

This time he's on his own.

The Bone Garden is an atmospheric and utterly gripping mystery set in the shadows of the Cumbrian mountains, that will chill the reader to their very bones.
