Summary

A bloodthirsty lake monster menaces a small town in the Ozarks....

When the men find him, the boy’s legs look like they were run through a wood-chipper. He’s bleeding heavily and near death, but he still has strength to tell them of the monster that attacked him: a dark, massive creature that emerged from the bottom of the lake. The child dies before he can say more.

c When another body is found chewed to pieces, the Sheriff begins to wonder what evil lies at the bottom of Big Water Lake.

Adequate Mystery

Adequate 70s mystery novel with interesting cast of characters let down by weak ending. Good reader.

Enjoyable

There's nothing wrong with this story, its just that nothing that stands out. There's a basic plot that is delivered well but its all very predictable. Would recommend as part of the plus catalogue though as a rainy day listen as it was entertaining.

A mostly brilliant thriller

Well performed and well paced, let down by its end where everything is wrapped up in maybe less than 2 or 3 pages.

Really good

Surprisingly good, well written with interesting characters. Not your usual creature feature, but possibly all the better for it

Good enough for a free listen

I enjoyed listening to the story enough to finish it, but I wouldn't listen again and I am glad it was a freebie. I found it quite sexist and very stereotypical of the roles of men and women.
The women added nothing much to the story so I don't see why the point of them even was - mind you, all were physically described in detail, something the men weren't given the same attention.
I was surprised to see it was written in 2013 as it seemed very dated which is a shame because it could have been far better had it been a little more progressive.

A monster novel with hardly any monster

Uninteresting characters and hardly any screen time for the monster. Anti climactic ending as well. The reader was good, but that doesn't help the when the rest is so boring.

Dull

I had hoped for a fun creature feature. Instead, it was a very dull mystery with the titular Bonegrinder barely making a cameo appearance. The male gaze vibe didn't help. Avoid.
