A House With Good Bones is an award-winning suspense novelist's haunting Southern Gothic that delves into the dark, twisted roots that lie under the surface of an ideal family and house.
"Mom seems off."
As Sam Montgomery pulls into the peaceful North Carolina neighborhood where their mother lives alone, her brother's comments reverberate in her ears.
As she ascends the front stairs, she dismisses the notion. Sam is thrilled to be here for a rare prolonged visit and is looking forward to spending time with her alone on evenings when she drinks boxed wine, watches murder mystery programs, and makes guesses about who the culprit is before the actors do.
She soon learns, however, that home isn't what it once was after entering. The walls have been painted a cold, clinical white; gone is the warm, disorganized charm her mother used to have. Even when she is the only one in the room, her mother glances over her shoulder and jumps at the slightest sound. In addition, vultures are circling the garden above Sam as she ventures out back to clear her brain and discovers a jar of teeth buried behind the magazine-worthy rose plants.
Sam will look for the truth to see what's making her mother so afraid in her own house. However, certain secrets are best kept under wraps.
