A story of political PA Juliet investigating her niece's "suicide" encompassed a diverse range of topics, and in impressive detail. Things got darker throughout the book until the end where things seemed to get confusing and I had trouble keeping up. I believe this was the author's debut novel and I imagine there are better things to come.

Oo this was an instering book to read. I abostly loved it. Like holy cow it kept me pulled into it and I might reread it next year. I already told a few people who I think might like this book so hopefully they read it to.

How can you not be intrigued by the summary?

Sea of Bones is everything it says it is and much, much more. Great job!

Synopsis: Juliet is used to wielding power and influence in her line of work, but when her beloved niece dies, she finds herself powerless in the face of her grief and has doubts over the coroner’s report of suicide. She travels back to her family’s remote coastal home where Beth was found. As Juliet delves deeper into the investigation, her personal and professional lives collide and she unwittingly finds herself pitted against dangerous opposition who seem intent on silencing her. In order to expose the truth behind her niece's death, Juliet must face the fact that nobody in her life is who she previously thought them to be – including herself.

A murdered girl. A buried secret.

DNF

I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to read this and I've just not been able to get into it. I'm still only at 16%
I'm giving up. Off to find my next read.

I loved the characters but wasn't crazy about the story. It was far fetched and relied on luck more than true crime solving. I rate this book a 2.9

Thank you Legend Press and NetGalley for the copy of this book.
A slow burner but gripping and atmospheric. A good thriller which kept me interested and the characters were good. Well written and I look forward to the next book.

This was a slow burner for me. But it had great characters , the plot had so much going on so you have to be on your toes. I couldnt put this book down. An absolute thriller. Lots of secrets. Cant wait for book number 2 to come out.

This was quite a complex book, that I really enjoyed, though it deals with some tough subjects. Just a warning: this book deals with sexual abuse and if that’s a trigger for you, this may not be a great book for you, though none of the scenes were overly graphic.

The book follows political Juliet, whose niece commits suicide at her remote beach house. But as Juliet thinks about things, she doesn’t really believe that Beth took her own life. And as she begins to learn more about Beth’s final days, she becomes even more convinced that something is happening. Her and her boyfriend begin to uncover the truth, but it comes at a high price to themselves and those around them.

While this book has a classic “I think there’s more to this thing that meets the eye!” Plot line, It has some nice elements that make it more complex and unique. For one, Juliet meets a rock band that Beth became close to in her final year and Juliet struggles to reconcile how they fit into things, when it seems Beth’s life was going so well - dating one of the members and designing their new album cover. There’s also Juliet’s struggle with her personal life, with her boyfriend Declan playing a prominent role in the book.

There was also a great “anything can happen” feeling in this book, with no character being safe from danger. It gave the book a bit of a Game of Thrones feel, which was nice because it makes things exciting: there’s no telling who might find themselves chased down by killer!

The ending was satisfying and I really liked the characters. I was really excited to see where they ended up and I think this story could certainly continue, if the author would gran thus a sequel! I’d absolutely pick it up!

This book is definitely not what it seems. It is surprisingly twisted and complex. I had no idea where it was going to take me but I definitely enjoyed the ride,
I felt the characters were well developed and interesting enough that I had to keep reading. The relationships between the different characters were well thought out and well placed in the storyline. I can honestly say I didn’t know how the book was going to end until the last minute. Big fan of books like this!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC for an honest review.

Sea of Bones by Debra O'Donoghue is about Juliet, Duncan, and their friends and family as they come to realize that her nieces death had a lot more to it than a suicide.

This is a very dark novel, and deals with very dark material, but is well written and engaging.

The mystery is intense and deals with a variety of very serious topics, and isn't suitable for a young audience, but for fans of Gone Girl or similar novels, this might be worth your time.

I did receive a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I found this book a little confusing and difficult to get in to. It is a well crafted thriller, but it didn't quite work for me.

Y'all this really did have me on the edge of my seat! Wooooo what a read! I will say at first I wasn't sure what to make of this book.. I honestly had to set it aside and start on another one but I hate leaving books unread!! So I came back to it and I am really glad I did! Winner!

3 for neutral. I’m a very moody reader and it just was too hard for me to really understand what was going on, making it impossible to finish, Will update if able to read and enjoy at a later date.

This debut novel is a slow burn psychological thriller.
The plot is complex and has lots going on so you need to concentrate when reading it.
This book has lots more depth than other books of this genre
There are twists and turns throughout the story and the author doesn’t shy away from difficult topics.
Great book

Complex and dark thriller with lots of strands which need to be connected to solve the mystery. Interesting characters who gave moral dilemmas aplenty.

A really good, well written, psychological thriller full of twists and turns, full of emotions, you feel like you are in the story.
Good from start to finish.

Thank you to NetGalley and Legend Press for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

What an amazing novel! The character development was incredible, the story line flowed seamlessly and I was captivated the whole time. Highly recommended!

A psychological thriller that may be fantastic for some, but it simply was not for me. I tried very hard and while I found the concept intriguing I had a hard time getting into the story or connecting with the characters. I encourage readers to give it a shot as it may be one their favorite stories

Dramatic storytelling featuring sharp characters with a fabulous plot ! I highly recommend ! Thanks to Netgalley and Legend Press for the opportunity to read and review this book ! Opinions are solely mine alone ! #Netgalley #LegendPress #SeaOfBones
