#BlogTour ‘Her Silent Bones’ by Patricia Fagan Hutchins

About the book…

Fifteen years ago I watched my father’s murder.

Now, having never truly recovered from losing her father all those years ago, Detective Delaney Pace is devastated when her brother and sister-in-law are killed in a car crash. Packing up her life she heads back to the rugged cowboy town of Kearney, Wyoming.

Her niece Kateena is just eleven years old and Delaney will do anything to keep her safe…Now there’s another killer on the loose, and he’s already taken his first victim.

New to the local police force, when a body is found on a secluded mountain trail Delaney is called to the scene. Surrounded by imposing pine trees, a young woman lies still in the moonlight. Gazing into her dark, unblinking eyes Delaney’s heart pounds wildly in her chest as she recognises the victim. It’s her beloved Kateena’s mother, Lila.

But she died weeks before. Didn’t she?

There’s evil lurking in this town and I’ll stop at nothing to hunt down the truth and deliver justice. With Kateena traumatised all over again, when Delaney links Lila’s murder back to the place where her own father was killed she realizes she must face her own dark past to catch the man responsible.

But little does she know that the killer has already made their next deadly move. Back at home, Kateena should be in bed sleeping soundly, but her room is empty.

Kateena is missing…Can Delaney uncover the truth behind the killings and save Kateena before it’s too late?

Thanks once more to the lovely publicists at Bookouture for the blog tour invite, and gifted review copy of ‘Her Silent Bones’ by Pamela Fagan Hutchins which is published in January 2024, in e-book format.

The first in a series which so far has 3 entries, Her Silent Bones shout loudly and clearly to Delaney Pace who has needed to settle back into a job with a regular career in order to support her suddenly orphaned niece.

Having lived a free and unrestrained life for the past decade, she has to adjust not only to supporting a bereaved child, she is thrust into a gruesome and horribly relentless murder investigation whilst facing up to past raumas.

In order to establish a life for herself and Kateena, she needs to confront past events which overlap with her current investaigation.

As things become involved, and tangled, how can Delaney keep her personal and professional lives separate ?

And when her reluctant niece goes missing, the race against time to solve this case becomes even more urgently in need of concluding…

Opening with a shocking act of violence that introduces a killer with a past, with momentum and with a dark and twisted agenda, this is a fast paced thriller with an engaging protagonist who has to fight back hard , fast and against the odds, whilst balancing her own internal struggles.

It exposes the dark heart at a small town, the way secrets are kept and continue to perpetuate intergenerational trauma, especially as it leads on to pave the way to read Book 2…‘Her Hidden Grave’‘
