Boneman's Daughters
They call him BoneMan, a serial killer who's abducted six young women. He's the perfect father looking for the perfect daughter, and when his victims fail to meet his lofty expectations, he kills them by breaking their bones and leaving them to die.
Intelligence officer Ryan Evans, on the other hand, has lost all hope of ever being the perfect father. His daughter and wife have written him out of their lives.
Everything changes when BoneMan takes Ryan's estranged daughter, Bethany, as his seventh victim. Ryan goes after BoneMan on his own.
But the FBI sees it differently. New evidence points to the suspicion that Ryan is BoneMan. Now the hunter is the hunted, and in the end, only one father will stand.
You ever have one of those books you just know that you figured it out, and then bam, it's totally opposite of your thinking? I really, really loved this book. The best I have read of Dekker's.
This was just okay for me - I think I was expecting more from this. It didn't quite hit the mark either as a mystery or as a thriller. The first part of the novel - where the hero Ryan, an intelligence officer, is taken prisoner in desert and mentally tortured by watching children brutally killed - seems to have little to do with the rest of the book (besides breaking Ryan). He escapes and returns home only to find his wife in love with the Austin DA and his teenage daughter estranged. The DA
I have long been a Dekker devotee. Ever since I got the Circle Trilogy for Christmas back in '04, I have had a lasting obsession with the works of this man. I have read all but a few of his booksmany more than onceand have seen his writing mature from Blessed Child back in 2000 through the massive Books of History Chronicles until now. BoneMan's Daughters is by far the most developed, intricate, gripping story I have ever read. A good book is one that when you set it down, you cannot tell if you
This book was pain to read. I was waiting for something to happen but the plot line was set from the beginning the serial killer who was as psycho as the main hero and his family and people around. There were lot of emotions, which were pushed beyond bearable horizont of hysterical emotions. Lets get to the business. There was a little nutty serial killer who has father and daughter issue and nasty hobby to pick teenage girls in order to make perfect daughters from them, which they failed and
Goodness gracious, Ted Dekker! At first, I was really considering giving this novel only two stars because it was messy, nothing made sense. It went from Ryan serving in the navy to him getting attacked, to him being in the therapists office, but it never talked about how he got there. Then, throughout the book, I believed that three different characters were Boneman because Dekker dropped hints that portrayed them too be. It wasnt really until the last chapter when everything made sense, with
Christian Fiction??This is my first Dekker novel and unfortunately I have two more to read as it was buy two and get a third free. I'm appalled that so many Christians have given this 4 and 5 stars and shelved it as Christian fiction. There is nothing Christian about it at all. The author is supposedly a Christian and the child of missionaries?! If this is the case, I cannot understand why he would be writing this type of book. It is evil, creepy and gruesome.

I use to be a huge fan of Ted Dekker and collected many of his books, but this author started to get increasingly worse in his writings. I was buying his books as soon as they came out, and likewise I got my hands on this one once it came out. This book was the final straw for me, and after reading this book, I no longer read from Dekker and got rid of all his books I had collected. This book in particular I remember giving me nightmares, and I trembled in fear after reading about theYou ever have one of those books you just know that you figured it out, and then bam, it's totally opposite of your thinking?
