With Tall Bones, Anna Bailey bursts onto the scene with a
wonderfully haunting debut. Small-town intrigue, exquisitely
drawn.

The best kind of small-town crime novel... one that drips with
atmosphere... an intricately weaved and haunting story that will
stay with you for days after.

Both menacing and haunting, a compelling and atmospheric debut.

Anna Bailey writes like a dream about teenage love and lust, the
terror of knowledge and the claustrophobia of families and of small
towns.

Bailey writes with perfect poise. She is destined for great things
- I feel it in my bones.
