Two victims. Twenty years apart. One elusive killer.

Crescent Bluff, West Texas. Everybody knows everybody. And everybody has a secret.

When a boy is found dead with the skin of a hare’s head in his hand, everyone knows who killed him—Willis Newland, just released from prison after serving twenty years for an identical murder.

But what if everyone’s wrong?

Detective Colly Newland reluctantly agrees to investigate a case that seems to involve the whole town, including her dead husband’s extended family. But the deeper she digs, the more secrets she unearths. And as threats against her escalate, Colly realizes someone is willing to kill to keep theirs…

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Red herrings and mysterious hints lead to a twisted killer.”—Library Journal

it was a really good story

really enjoyed the story it was just too many characters from my liking. and especially when you have a characters that sometimes you refer to them by their first name other times you refer to them by their last name. I had to reread chapters several times to figure out who we were talking about. but all in all it was a good book.

plot twists

plot had a lot of twists. very engaging. looking forward to hearing more from her

First time reading this author

I really enjoyed the book. It flows nicely and I really like how Colly tied it all together in the end.

Great

Loved this book. Kept me guessing till the end! And I was still wrong! Highly recommend

The haunting tale

This book kept me captivated the whole time. Great audio narration! Would recommend this book

Great book

the plot was good and the story flowed well. The best narration I've heard in a long time. I live outside the town she lives in and I think she's done our area well. I'm ready for her to release another book🙂

Interesting storyline, and a good mystery

I found the story to be very intriguing and kept listening to find out who was doing some of the spooky strange actions and I wanted to find out the true story about Willis. The outcome had some interesting twists to it and the only negative thing is I may have some nightmares about snakes, as this has been a childhood habit of mine and there’s several storylines in this book that were difficult for me to listen to, but it was important to the story. Narration was excellent. I would be glad to listen to another book from this author.

I enjoyed this book

Fun detective book.
There’s no way you could know who done it till the very end, very surprising.

Family in relationships

Great story. Great narrator.

Good all the way around.
Well written story, and great narration. Highly recommend.
Looking forward to the next offering from this author

Interesting Mystery

With lots of twists and turns, it takes a while before you can figure out who is the actual killer on this case. Characters that keep you guessing as to what their role is in these killings. Guilty of other various things not related to the --murders, the possible suspects, and characters casts shadows and divert the investigation and make it more difficult to come up with the truth of who did what. A great read!
