The Family Bones has launched into the world today! Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook, this locked room thriller mystery was so much fun to write, as it combined my favorite pastimes of psychology and true crime.
Publishers Weekly gave The Family Bones a coveted starred review, calling it a “mesmerizing psychological thriller…” PW went on to say, “Marr expertly builds tension by alternating between the two narratives, which eventually merge and build to an explosive conclusion. Readers will be captivated from the very first page.” I hope readers agree!
Many thanks to all who preordered their copy, and to everyone discovering my latest book baby now. It is because of you that I am living my dream.
Join me and the Killer Author Club today, March 7 at 6pm PST for a live chat about The Family Bones with bestselling authors Kaira Rouda, Kimberly Belle, and Heather Gudenkauf. Questions can be posed live, and I’d love to engage with you there. Thank you for celebrating the launch of The Family Bones!

Book Description:
Psychology student Olivia Eriksen’s family is notorious among true-crime buffs. Faced with a legacy of psychopathy that spans generations, Olivia has spent much of her academic life trying to answer one chilling question: Nature or nurture?
Although she’s kept a safe distance from her blood relatives for years, Olivia agrees to attend a weekend reunion. After all, her fiancé is eager to meet his future in-laws, and the gathering may give her a chance to interview her elusive grandfather about the family traits.
But nothing is ever peaceful among the Eriksens for long. Olivia’s favorite cousin is found dead in a nearby lake. Then another family member disappears. As a violent storm isolates the group further, Olivia’s fears rise faster than the river.
And an uninvited guest is about to join the party. True-crime podcaster Birdie Tan has uncovered a disturbing mystery in her latest investigation―and she’s following it right to the Eriksens’ mountain resort. There’s a deadly twist in the family plot that even Olivia doesn’t see coming.
