Publisher Description
Prosecutor Elsie Arnold loves her small-town home in the Ozark hills, but she’s been waiting for a murder to come along and make her career. So when a body is found under a bridge, throat cut, Elsie jumps at the chance to work on the case, even if it’s alongside the brash new chief assistant, Chuck Harris—and her latest flame, Detective Bob Ashlock.
But when the investigation reveals that the deceased woman was driving a school bus, and the police locate the vehicle, its interior covered in blood, the occupant and only suspect is a fifteen-year-old boy. Elsie’s in for more than she bargained for.
Win or lose, this case will haunt her. No one has successfully prosecuted a juvenile for first-degree murder in McCown County. If she loses, it’s her career on the line and a chilling homicide unresolved; if she wins, a boy’s liberty will be taken from him before he reaches his sixteenth birthday.
Customer Reviews
Fun read
Okay, so it doesn't read like a Grisham novel, but it was entertaining. More like a "chic" read.
A Killing at the Creek
Easy read, interesting characters, and hard to put down. Probably wouldn't have given it a second glance at a higher price, but I'm really glad I took a chance. Somewhat disappointed at the ending.
A Killing at the Creek
This book is categorized under, "Mystery & Thrillers." I certainly didn't see anything thrilling about this book and that wasn't even all that suspenseful. The only mystery was, was the defendant guilty or innocent. A rather boring read.
