Boneman - The perfect father looking for the perfect daughter and a sadistic killer who wants nothing more than to break the bones of a daughter who shows herself unworthy to have the ONLY perfect father.
Bethany Evans - The girl who must prove herself the perfect daughter, or have her bones broken.
Ryan Evans - The father of Boneman's latest victim, who just might do anything to get her back.
The FBI - The people who think Ryan Evans is Boneman!
Boneman's Daughers is the best novel of Ted Dekker's that I have read yet. He masterfully takes the reader on a ride that you don't want to stop! It is a blockbuster combination of action and gut-wrenching reality. Both of which shine through the pages with more power than any of his previous novels.
Those of who have previously read Ted Dekker know that his stories always harbour hidden meaning. You might not see it right up front, but the more you think and read the more you begin to see a deeper meaning emerging from the story. Boneman's Daughters is the same way.
While it is the story of a serial killer who breaks the bones of his imperfect victims. It is also the story of a fathers undying love. And an allegory for OUR own Heavenly Father's undying love. A picture of God's unconditional love for his children. No matter what we do to him and no matter what we say to him he will ALWAYS love us... and nothing can change that.
Boneman's Daughters is the best book that I have read this year and it is an absolute MUST READ. Whether you are looking for terror, a deeper meaning, or both you will NOT be disappointed.
