About this listen
'A twisting, engrossing and beautiful mystery . . . Deeply moving and powerful' CHRIS WHITAKER
SLOW-BURN, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN AND SOAKED WITH ATMOSPHERE, KNIFE RIVER IS THE DEBUT NOVEL OF AN EXCITING NEW VOICE IN LITERARY CRIME
First, there were my mother's bones . . .
A young woman returns home to the small, claustrophobic town of Knife River. When Jess was thirteen, her mother went for a walk and did not return - now, fifteen years later, bones have been discovered in the woods nearby.
Jess's sister has remained in their childhood home - her life, their home and the town itself seemingly frozen in time. As days turn into weeks, Jess's understanding of the past, her sister, and herself becomes more and more complicated - and the list of suspects responsible for her mother's terrible fate more and more ominous . . .
'An intelligent literary mystery with a rich sense of place and a clever plot; but it is Champine's keenly-observed depiction of the aftermath of tragedy and the corrosive impact of loss that sets this novel apart'
PAULA HAWKINS
'I couldn't put Knife River down. An incredibly compelling literary mystery. Beautifully written'
OLIVIA KIERNAN
'Both a beguiling mystery and a tender exploration of sisterhood and first love, this beautiful, deep, winding road of a novel pulled me hard into its pages and wouldn't let me go. I was captivated by this debut'
EMMA STYLES
'Atmospheric, sharp, and skilled at twisting the reader's guesses in unimaginable ways'
JODI PICOULT
A haunting, slow burning novel full of atmosphere and heart. Clever and beautifully written, it is a satisfying and moving read'
ARAMINTA HALL
