Little Bones (Detective Lottie Parker) Paperback – 19 May 2026
She lifted up her granddaughter from the cot, clutched her to her chest and, without looking at her beautiful daughter lying dead on the floor of her bedroom, ran from the house. Only when she was outside did she let a wail escape her lips, frightening the baby who joined in her screams. When Isabel Gallagher is found murdered on the floor of her baby''s nursery by her mother, a gruelling case begins for Detective Lottie Parker. Isabel''s pyjamas have been ripped, her throat cut and an old-fashioned razor blade placed in her hand. Lottie can''t understand who would want to hurt this innocent family. That very same day she receives a call with devastating news. Another young mother, Joyce Breslin, has gone missing, and her four-year-old son Evan abducted from daycare. Lottie is sure that this case is linked, and when she finds a bloody razor blade in Joyce''s house, her worst fears are confirmed. Desperate to find little Evan, Lottie leaves no stone unturned as she delves into Isabel and Joyce''s pasts, and when she realises the two women have been meeting in secret, she knows she must find out why. But when Joyce''s body is found in a murky pond and some little bones are found on a windy hillside, it feels as if this merciless killer will stop at nothing. The bones aren''t Evan''s but can they give Lottie the final clue to find the innocent child before more lives are taken? What everyone''s saying about Little Bones: ''Wow ! Wow ! Wow !
