Summary
Fiona Cummins delves into the seam of darkness that runs through us all as a detective hunts down a twisted killer with a macabre obsession . . .



On still nights, when the curve of a winter moon is smudged in the flow of the River Quaggy, the dead clamor for him. And sometimes he coaxes the living to join them. To other people, his victims might be mere medical oddities. To him, they are fascinating specimens, worthy of display. Above all, he is a collector, eager for recognition even as he hides in the shadows.



Detective Sergeant Etta Fitzroy is the first to recognize the connection between the disappearance of a young girl and a cold case that almost cost her the career she's sacrificed so much for. A faceless psychopath is walking the streets of London, tantalizing the authorities with clues, taunting them with his ability to spirit his victims out from under their very noses.



Better than anyone, Etta Fitzroy understands loss. But this is one contest she will win if it kills her . . .

The first book I listened to of Fiona Cummins' was The Family Next Door, I enjoyed it so much, I started looking for others. While not as much as The Family Next Door (aka The Neighbour) , I enjoyed Rattle. I thought it was riveting and I had a hard time turning it off. I was so scared for Jakey and Clara, and found myself equally frustrated and empathetic with all of the imperfect parents and Detectives. While I'm not entirely sure it's completely accurate in how a major investigation would be handled, that lends well to the imperfection of Detective Sergeant Ella Fitzroy. Really makes you think about how easy once simple mistake coupled with another simple mistake can have disastrous consequences. Warning though, it's difficult subject matter - it could be worse, but the kids' ordeal is heartbreaking and heart pounding. I wanted to Google it and make sure Jakey and Clara were going to be ok, but I resisted, and am glad I did. Ol' Bloody Bones is the stuff of nightmares, and once the identity is revealed, there's little mystery left of who the perpetrator is, but the hunt to apprehend keeps you listening. I'm looking forward to listening to the production of the sequel, 'The Collector'.
