...gritty yet sentimental...a more mellow, moralistic, less pulse-racing Gone Girl.
No Rest in His Bones, by S. A. Nicola, is a gritty yet sentimental story of a marriage and how it is affected by tremors of faith and mind. ...
While the book's more extreme situations...are realistically portrayed, the realism is at its peak in the more day-to-day drama of sky-high credit card bills and difficulty conceiving a child--and especially the suburban isolation that resonates on every page. ...
No Rest in His Bones is a cautionary tale--a more mellow, moralistic, less pulse-racing Gone Girl.
- ForeWord Clarion Reviews
Nicola does skillfully build suspense... chilling and well-observed.
A guilt-haunted man examines what he sees as his role in a terrible crime committed by his wife. ...
Nicola does skillfully build suspense...taking readers through Liz's crazy logic step by step and showing just how an otherwise sane woman could make her choices. Liz's self-righteousness is chilling and well-observed.

*** *** ***
Michael Saunder's marriage to Liz was based on an obsessive need for atonement. By giving his wife the perfect life, no matter the financial or personal sacrifice, Michael believed he could make up for a grisly mistake in his past.
His stubborn refusal to give his guilt, his worry, and his mistakes to God and humbly accept His grace has turned a forgivable error into something much larger. After years of trying to fix things on his own, Michael is faced with unexpected consequences.
Liz is now in prison, branded a sociopath by national media.
Told in alternating first person points of view, No Rest in His Bones reveals the events leading to the arrest of Liz, and Michael's humbling quest for spiritual redemption.
