The brilliant new novel from the acclaimed, Sunday Times bestselling crime writer: tense, unpredictable and utterly gripping. The book was a sensation. Fifty years ago, her father wrote The Golden Bones. Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an anniversary. NO ONE WRITES CHARACTERS LIKE ERIN KELLY. People sold their homes to travel to England and search for Elinore. 71 Balham High Road, Balham, SW12 9AP

The non linear structure means that we piece fragments slowly to start but the end is a pacy and thrilling race that unveils some jawdropping surprises. I dare you to read it and not be left with a sad feeling, it was just so magical!

Flash forward again and it’s the 50th anniversary of the book. But I'm also feeling better now I've finished The Skeleton Key, I just can't think I will find another book like it! Not surprisingly readers became followers and some of them became obsessed with finding the clues and bones.

Literary Pet Peeve Checklist:Green Eyes (only 2% of the real world, yet it seems like 90% of all fictional females): YES That would be Rose. The book created a fortune for Frank and Cora Churcher and added to their vanity and shallowness , however for their daughter Nell, it brought much more menacing and sinister attention, as the infamous Bone Collectors failed to separate fantasy and reality, linking Nell with the Elinore of the story.

It’s based on a grisly fairy tale/folk song about a woman, Elinore, dismembered by her jealous husband, her bones scattered around Britain. The story takes us in the past as well as the recent present, it does not stop, it's relentless in its shocks and twists and turns!

However, the hunt becomes obessessive and destructive and is forced to end when someone dies. The Skeleton Key is the story about a book within a book, one that evokes a passionate search for bones - those of the legendary Elinore and and causes a group of fanatics to pursue every skeleton bone until one remains: the pelvis. Now to the storyline…….
