Description
Beautifully written and soaked with atmosphere, KNIFE RIVER is the debut novel of an exciting new voice in literary crime.
First, there were my mother's bones . . .
A young woman returns home to the small, claustrophobic town of Knife River. When Jess was thirteen, her mother went for a walk and did not return - now, fifteen years later, bones have been discovered in the woods nearby.
Jess's sister has remained in their childhood home - her life, their home and the town itself seemingly frozen in time. As days turn into weeks, Jess's understanding of the past, her sister, and herself becomes more and more complicated - and the list of suspects responsible for her mother's terrible fate more and more ominous . . .

When the bones of their mother is discovered after being missing for fifteen years two sisters reunite at the family home in the hopes of the killer being found .A very involving read and wonderfully written.
Liz W, Reviewer
Knife River is a little literary delight with huge amounts of atmosphere, a kind of a noir feel and two unforgettable sisters at the heart of it.
The setting is quietly claustrophobic, there's a mystery at the centre of this story but less the focus of it, Knife River is deeply layered character drama and a compelling one at that.
I read it all this afternoon, not so much to find resolution of event but more so I could see where the characters ended up, I was hooked into it right to the end.
Beautifully written and intriguing.
