Bone Man’s Daughter
Could You Break a Man’s Bones to save Your Child?
by Ted Dekker
GoodBookStall Review:
Ted Dekker writes really good fiction - tense, psychological, complex and disturbing! Oh! And ethically questioning. That is to say he makes you stop and think and this is not a bad thing in fiction. Fiction should make you think what if: should leave you with feelings and thoughts after the book is done and this book does that.
Above all Bone Man's Daughter is the story of a father's love for his daughter and the lengths he's willing to go to save her from a mad man. But there is more to it than that, there is the Iraq element and then questions: how law and society works?; what causes human evil?; and much more.
Dekker, while not shouting about his Christian roots in his works - thus making them really shareable and opening a door perhaps, nevertheless writes Christian books because of the foundation of that faith that colours our perceptions and makes us question daily the choice of right and wrong.
If you want a good psychological thriller to read, then you can't go wrong with this one!
