review 1: Recensione in tandem per questo "volo dell'angelo di pietra" e per "La donna che leggeva la morte". Ambedue sono libri di Carol O'Connell che sembra divertirsi in un esercizio alla Queneau formato romanzo. Le due storie hanno i medesimi ingredienti: una casa sopraelevata domina il villaggio, vi abita una donna attorniata di uccelli, vi sono due fratelli, ma quale il buono? Chi il cattivo? E poi il tema delle tombe e quello del facile plagio delle moltitudini. Eppure i romanzi mantengono una propria individualità, atmosfere molto diverse e l'esercizio può dirsi riuscito. Nel "La donna che leggeva la morte" non compare Mallory e in controconflitto si sviluppa una storia romance di grande presa. Pessima la descrizione del tango tra i due, felpata come una sparatori... morea :-)
review 2: I loved it. I first read Judas Child by O'Connell and was very impressed with her writing. I ran out and found two more of her novels, Mallory stories and was really disappointed. I thought two to one, JC must have been a fluke. Wow was I wrong. I had forgotten about the author until my hubby brought Bone by Bone home. Despite my misgivings, I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Once again, fine story crafting. Suspenseful yet surprisingly complex characters. Small town, illicit affairs, murder blackmail and SECRETS, lots of secrets. less

Very interesting characters, had me confused right to the end. Excellent narrator.

A page-turner this is not.
