Six weeks before she died Daina Harrow suffered an assault in the park.
One week before she died Daina Harrow stole a secret people had killed to hide.
That was ten years ago. Ten long years.
Now, her bones have been found on a building site. A coroner's inquest has been reopened. A parade of witnesses is about to start.
And Daina's here. Watching every day as her mother cries in the courtroom. Watching every day as her friends, and her enemies, and her killers lie about her on the stand.
Watching, and making sure that no matter what the coroner hears, you know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
So help you God.
Review: I was given a copy of the book for an honest review so here is the review.
I was given this book to review and I am sad to say under normal circumstances this would not be a book I would have picked up on my own and boy would I have missed out on one of the best books I have read in a long time.
This book grabs the reader from the start and you have no choice but to get enthralled with the main character's story. No young woman should go through what she went through in her short life and the fact that you are both hearing her story as she remembers it as a ghost and how people are testifying about it in the New Zealand's form of looking into and determining the cause of one's death makes this book all that more powerful.
There were places were I was trying to guess where the author was going to take the story and then something would happen and what would happen would totally disrail my thoughts and I would have to go back to square one and that is what I look for in a true suspense book.
Skeletal is an excellent book that I would highly recommend. I would even suggest it to someone who was not so sure about the book or the subject because as I said at the beginning normally this would not be my type of book but it was one of the best and more then worth the chance I took.
