GIVEAWAY – 5 copies of Tall Bones by Anna Bailey: COLORADO

20th March 2022

We are delighted to be able to offer 5 copies of TALL BONES  by Anna Bailey, set in COLORADO.

5 winners. One copy each. UK entry only.

5 copies of Tall Bones by Anna Bailey

If you haven’t yet had the chance to read this rather thrilling novel, then now is possibly your chance!

When seventeen-year-old Emma leaves her best friend Abi at a party in the woods, she believes, like most girls her age, that their lives are just beginning. Many things will happen that night, but Emma will never see her friend again.

Abi’s disappearance cracks open the façade of the small town of Whistling Ridge, its intimate history of long-held grudges and resentment. Even within Abi’s family, there are questions to be asked – of Noah, the older brother whom Abi betrayed, of Jude, the shining younger sibling who hides his battle scars, of Dolly, her mother and Samuel, her father – both in thrall to the fire and brimstone preacher who holds the entire town in his grasp. Then there is Rat, the outsider, whose presence in the town both unsettles and excites those around him.

Anything could happen in Whistling Ridge, this tinder box of small-town rage, and all it will take is just one spark – the truth of what really happened that night out at the Tall Bones….

    We went to Colorado on our honeymoon and did something called the Manitou Incline which is basically 2744 steps up a steep hill, I would love to go back and do it again. Took a scenic walk down and hand fed some chipmunks!

    I’d choose to go in autumn to see the beautiful mountain trees and, hopefully, spend the evenings listening to country music artists. Colorado always reminds me of the late, great, John Denver. I get a bit choked thinking about his superb voice and beautiful lyrics about the mountains.

    I think that if this were to be a once in a lifetime trip to Colorado, I couldn’t stick to doing just one activity, so I would plan a driving itinerary which allowed me to fit in as many places and experiences as possible, so as not to waste a moment.

    I have read a few books over the years, set in Colorado, which mention ‘The Flatirons’, so I would definitely like to try and include seeing those! 🙂
