A personal message from the author:

Martha's bones is a novel that gives me great satisfaction, it tells of different fears and a battle between good and evil. Two brothers with different religions who inadvertently discover that the case of the Collins' daughter will reveal secrets that will mark their lives.

Each of the characters manage to discover that there is something that unites them to that house where strange things are happening. Revenge is harmful but deadly after death.

Would you dare to play with Martha's Bone?
