Publishers Weekly Review
The Skeleton Key
Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Exquisite prose and multilayered characters lift this exceptional novel from British author Kelly (Watch Her Fall). In 2021, Frank Churcher is bringing out a new edition of the illustrated book that made him rich and famous: The Golden Bones, "a collision of pretty pictures, mythology and logic puzzles," is about a murdered woman whose bones are scattered across England and contains clues to the location of small gold replicas of the woman's bones. A bestseller since its first publication 50 years earlier, it has become an obsession for legions of fanatics who call themselves Bonehunters. Frank has asked his middle-aged daughter, Nell, to return home to London to be part of a documentary film to kick off publicity for the new edition. Things don't go as planned, and the police are soon investigating a murder. Flashbacks add depth and raise intriguing questions as the present-day action builds to a complex and satisfying resolution. Full of reflections on ego and art, love and loss, this atypical thriller shows Kelly writing at the top of her game. Agents: Sarah Ballard and Eli Keren, United Agents. (Jan.)
