Über diesen Titel

 'One of our finest crime writers' ― Peter James

'Fabulous' ― The Sun

'Creepy and complex' ― The Times

Buried in the shadows and roots of the forest is a deadly secret that was never meant to come out . . .

Driving through the mountains in a fierce winter storm, David Hunter is forced to seek shelter at a remote village. But a one-night stop-over at the dilapidated Hillside House becomes deadly after a gruesome discovery in the depths of the surrounding forest.

With communications down and the only road washed out by the storm, Hunter is unsure who - if anyone - he can trust. And as long-buried secrets of a feud amongst the locals begin to emerge, he knows that whatever dark past the isolated community might be hiding, there's no one he can call on for help.

This time he's on his own.

The Bone Garden is an atmospheric and utterly gripping mystery set in the shadows of the Cumbrian mountains, that will chill the reader to their very bones.©2026 Simon Beckett (P)2026 Orion Publishing Group Limited Belletristik Kleinstadt- & Landleben Krimis Psychothriller Thriller

Kritikerstimmen

A beautifully written cliff-hanger of a thriller, in which Hunter must navigate the social complexities and hidden history of an isolated community riven by closely guarded secrets . . . full of fascinating forensic detail and lyrical descriptions of the natural world in winter
A fabulous, atmospheric addition to the forensic anthropologist thriller series.
Beckett makes the most of his deep research, and the result has a denser texture than the work of his competitors. The Bone Garden (...) is very creepy and complex.
Simon Beckett delivers his customary fierce outing for tenacious forensic expert David Hunter, set in a community, with long buried secrets. This may be familiar terrain, but Beckett knows exactly what he's doing; if your taste is for strong, pungent writing, then Beckett is for you. As far back as Whispers of the Dead, he supplied all the adroitly orchestrated tension we now expect from him - and David Hunter.

A bleak, oppressive atmosphere is created in an isolated little village. Everyone seems to have their own secrets, and Dr. Hunter accidentally sets a series of events in motion. In the middle part of the story, the pace slows down a bit too much. As a Dr. Hunter fan, you of course know that nothing is quite as it first appears. Despite this prior expectation, there were still a few small surprises at the end. I really enjoyed the book and can highly recommend it.

Oppresive atmosphere

Very tense, almost claustrophobic, good story - highly recommended. A bit too much ‘Hunter getting chased’ (several times) and therefore probably a little long in the middle, but a really interesting and partly surprising ending. I hope that Simon Beckett won’t let us wait that long again for the next installment of the series.

Very atmospheric, great book, very good read!
