Review

This one I received for an honest review.

I did thought this one I was going to like it so much more, wasn’t bad for a fiction but it wasn’t really what I was expecting at all.

The mystery was intriguing and I did try because of that, weirdly not even that was enough for me.

Now it could have been that I never read the other one and that diminished the experience? since it does seem to be a follow up of the first novel the cuts that cure, that I just couldn’t connect?

Now this one I could recommend if you like more likely biographies or non fiction since that was more like it at the end.

About the book

In this enigmatic follow up to his critically acclaimed debut novel The Cuts that Cure, Arthur Herbert returns to the Texas-Mexico border with this saga of a small town’s bloody loss of innocence.

Amoret, Texas, 1982. Life along the border is harsh, but in a world where cultures work together to carve a living from the desert landscape, Blaine Beckett lives a life of isolation. A transplanted Boston intellectual, for twenty years locals have viewed him as a snob, a misanthrope, an outsider. He seems content to stand apart until one night when he vanishes into thin air amid signs of foul play.

Noah Grady, the town doctor, is a charming and popular good ol’ boy. He’s also a keeper of secrets, both the town’s and his own. He watches from afar as the mystery of Blaine’s disappearance unravels and rumors fly. Were the incipient cartels responsible? Was it a local with a grudge? Or did Blaine himself orchestrate his own disappearance? Then the unthinkable happens, and Noah begins to realize he’s considered a suspect.

Paced like a lit fuse and full of dizzying plot twists, The Bones of Amoret is a riveting whodunit that will keep you guessing all the way to its shocking conclusion.
