About this listen

Murder can make you sad and cranky.

Small town life gets hilariously complicated for Sam and his family when an unexpected windfall leads to murder, mystery, and irritable ghosts.

Patton Colorado: home to a snarky bunch of seventh-graders, a decades-old secret, and murderous deception.

When 12-year-old Sam accidentally stumbles into the thick of things with the help of his friends, his mom who drinks a little too much and writes cliché mommy porn (“Oh Javier, I lust for your girthy sexcaliber!!”), a ragtag group of ex-Army guys, and a baby brother who can’t stay off the roof, a 60-year-old whodunit comes to light. Before long, unexpected plot twists and bungling ghost hunters lead to a startling and satisfying conclusion.

Critic Reviews

The Bone Shelter by debut novelist Sue Alcon O’Connor is a delightfully wicked book, overflowing with keen insights on the human condition, the mischievousness of a pack of preteens, and a worldview that is as delicious and deadly as a Molotov cocktail. This book reads like a shaken bottle of champagne, and let me tell you—the hangover is so worth it. O’Connor announces her arrival upon the literary scene with a roaring bash.” (William R. Hincy, award-winning author of A Fire for Christmas)

"Sue Alcon O'Connor has hit a home run. Her debut novel--part mystery, part action-adventure, part ghost story, and part comedy--is a fun read for people of all ages. I really enjoyed this book." (Gabi Lorino, author of A Magical Time Called Later)
