Stephanie Jane recenzis The Bones of Amoret de Arthur Herbert

Gripping historical mystery

5 steloj

I love taking a chance on previously unknown-to-me authors and thereby stumbling across a five star novel that I might never otherwise have discovered. This is exactly what happened with Arthur Herbert's new historical mystery, The Bones Of Amoret. I have been lucky enough to visit Texas twice so the book's setting appealed greatly to me. Once I started actually reading, I found that our narrator, Noah, had such an engaging tone and chatty style that I was immediately captivated. The Bones Of Amoret consists of Noah recounting to a journalist, decades after the events occurred, what he witnessed around the time Blaine Beckett's disappearance and how the small town of Amoret was affected.

Herbert obviously has a lot of knowledge of the area in which his novel is set and the people who live there. This lends a real depth to the novel, and the 1980s references are frequent …

Herbert obviously has a lot of knowledge of the area in which his novel is set and the people who live there. This lends a real depth to the novel, and the 1980s references are frequent enough to give the book authenticity without becoming jarring. I can't say much about the story itself because I daren't risk inadvertently spoilering such a compelling mystery, however the plotlines are so deftly planned d paced that Noah's discoveries and revelations kept me glued to the pages. I even woke myself up a couple of hours early in order to continue reading before my day got underway. The Bones Of Amoret is that good!
