The 3rd of the Bell Elkins series, this suspenseful murder mystery novel is every bit as good as all of the others. I still love the descriptions of West Virginia, which put me right back where I have visited so many times. As always, not only is the setting very real, but the characters are also. Once again, I had no clue whodunit when it was revealed in the end. ( )
Another solid installment in the Bell Elkins mystery series. Again, Keller brings together multiple storylines while also developing the main characters and introducing some new ones. Prosecutor Bell Elkins and Sheriff Nick Fogelsong are faced with dead end after dead end as they attempt to solve two brutal murders that have the people of Acker's Gap fearing for their lives. This is now one of my favorite mystery series - strong in plot, character, and writing. I have the fourth installment waiting on my shelf, and the fifth comes out on August 23. ( )
This murder mystery was written to hold the readers attention. I do enjoy this author's writing style. The adventure in this book was believable. Most of the characters I wanted to believe in. The ending was a little to tightly wrapped up for my liking, but it was still believable. I do plan to go back and read any of the books this author has written in the past, but I missed when they were new. ( )
