“A higher level than the standard thriller. Readers will enjoy this book for the suspense…[and] love it for the skill and mastery Moretti has for her craft.” —New York Journal of Books

“Morbid…Moretti pulls some tricky tricks.” —The New York Times

New York Times bestselling author Kate Moretti’s next “exceptional…emotionally astute, [and] deliciously sinister” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller follows the daughter of a convicted serial killer who finds herself at the center of a murder investigation.

Fifteen years ago, Lilith Wade was arrested for the brutal murder of six women. After a death row conviction, media frenzy, and the release of an unauthorized biography, her thirty-year-old daughter Edie Beckett is just trying to survive out of the spotlight. She’s a recovering alcoholic with a dead-end city job and an unhealthy codependent relationship with her brother.

Edie also has a disturbing secret: a growing obsession with the families of Lilith’s victims. She’s desperate to see how they’ve managed—or failed—to move on. While her escalating fixation is a problem, she’s careful to keep her distance. That is, until she crosses a line and a man is found murdered.

Edie quickly becomes the prime suspect—and while she can’t remember everything that happened the night of the murder, she’d surely remember killing someone. With the detective who arrested her mother hot on her trail, Edie goes into hiding. She’s must get to the truth of what happened that night before the police—or the real killer—find her.

Unless, of course, she has more in common with her mother than she’s willing to admit…

Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, In Her Bones features Moretti’s “riveting and insightful” (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) prose and “chillingly satisfying” (Publishers Weekly) twists, and will leave you questioning the nature of guilt, obsession, and the toxicity of familial ties.

A reoccurring thing in thrillers lately has been that you don’t know your mom. Even if she does have a sketchy track record. Edie Beckett knew her mom had issues, had known since she was left alone at a very young age to fend for herself while her mom locked herself in her room. Had known when her mom lost custody of them full time. Had known when her older brother had to care for her. Lilith wasn’t a mother figure, not even close.

So when fifteen years pass after her mother was convicted of multiple murders and sentenced to death row its no surprise Eadie is a little unstable herself. Following the leftovers if you would of her mothers murders. She’s obsessed with learning about the victims families. She keeps detailed notes, she’ll learn their schedules and get familiar with them. It reassures her almost.

When one of those victims is murdered after she’s been linked to him, Eadie hits the ground running to prove her innocence seeing as no one else will. During this time you learn about how she grew up, how desperately she wanted a mother, and how having a murderess as a mother effected it all.

I won’t lie I had to reread a few pages in the end to grasp what I was being told, but once I understood the book started making sense. Pieces fell together, people who I didn’t think mattered as much as they should have did and ultimately you come to understand how you really can’t pick your family. #Audible1
