Buried in the Backwater

A Sheriff Elven Hallie Mystery, Book 1

De: Drew Strickland

Narrado por: Madison Niederhauser

A lifeless girl slips into the river, cold and crumpled.

Her body washes away with the rain. Her killer remains a mystery.

Sheriff Elven Hallie has been longing for a new case that would add some excitement to his small-town life.

But a dead girl wasn’t what he expected.

On the last murder case he worked, he was just a deputy with an experienced Sheriff to guide him and they were looking for an outsider.

This time, he’s in charge, and the killer is part of their community.

Short-staffed, and newly elected, Elven has an entire West Virginia county to police. With the help of his new deputy, Maddison Cook, Elven must navigate between Dupray’s rich and poor.

It’s an uphill battle the entire way.

With pressures mounting from the townspeople, county officials, and his own sense of duty, will he be able to catch the killer? Or will another body surface, pulling Elven in over his head?

If you’re a fan of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett, Craig Johnson’s Longmire, and Jeff Carson’s David Wolf, then you will be sucked into this thrilling mystery with an ending that you’ll never see coming!

all the twist and turns.

I really what to know what happened between him and the girl years ago.

Great way to start the series

This is book one in a series and I cannot wait to dive into the next book. The performance was amazing!

Great story, but…

Loved the story! Suspense and true mystery! However, the narrator’s heavily nasal voice nearly made me quit the book.

Story was good

Although the story was good. I barely made it thru with the narrator. I don’t think I can take another story because of that

Good story

Can’t wait to read the second book hope it is as good. Very interesting ending and surprising
