Publisher Description
A Barnes & Noble Best Horror Book of 2023
A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense, A House With Good Bones explores the dark, twisted roots lurking just beneath the veneer of a perfect home and family.
"Mom seems off."
Her brother's words echo in Sam Montgomery's ear as she turns onto the quiet North Carolina street where their mother lives alone.
She brushes the thought away as she climbs the front steps. Sam's excited for this rare extended visit, and looking forward to nights with just the two of them, drinking boxed wine, watching murder mystery shows, and guessing who the killer is long before the characters figure it out.
But stepping inside, she quickly realizes home isn’t what it used to be. Gone is the warm, cluttered charm her mom is known for; now the walls are painted a sterile white. Her mom jumps at the smallest noises and looks over her shoulder even when she’s the only person in the room. And when Sam steps out back to clear her head, she finds a jar of teeth hidden beneath the magazine-worthy rose bushes, and vultures are circling the garden from above.
To find out what’s got her mom so frightened in her own home, Sam will go digging for the truth. But some secrets are better left buried.

Very good
Funny and entertaining.
Bummer
Wish I liked this more. The main character was not my speed and I felt like the book took just a bit too long for things to get started. That said, it was interesting at the end, and it’s a quick read if you can get into it, at less than 250 pages.
Chatbot is a better author
Book is boring. Slow , simple, no depth, few characters, but surprise the main character is relatable because she’s hefty and drinks box wine. Wow. Next time can we have chatbot write a ghost story and these so called authors can do the world a favor and just stop?
