The Girl in Town

A Chesapeake Valley Mystery, Book 1

De: Elle Gray

Narrado por: Brittany Goodwin

After the murder of her mother, Eve left Chesapeake Valley behind, hoping for a fresh start.

But home has a way of calling you back...

Former NSA agent Eve Wicker has faced many hardships and tragedies in life.

Needing to be closer to her ailing father, Eve takes a position as her hometown Sheriff.

A position she never imagined would open many old wounds from her past.

When she receives a phone call about a body in the woods,

She drives up to the crime scene.

There, she grabs the attention of the town’s mountain recluse.

Roman Pike, a big burly ex-marine who’s as abrasive as he is brash.

Eve is no stranger to ego-driven men. What she didn’t foresee, though, is that they would go from butting heads to finding common ground.

Unfortunately, the friendship is short-lived when a case from Roman’s past and another murder converge—the murder of his ex-girlfriend.

It seems Chesapeake Valley is no longer the sleepy Colorado town of yesteryears.

It turns out, in these mountains, the most dangerous creature is an enigma that’s easy on the eyes and has murder on his mind...

From the local bakery to the Sheriff’s office, there’s never a dull moment in the Valley.

Only Mark Boyett could make this series starter I, Starship better!

I, Starship' is a great adventure that raised some valid concerns for me about AI, multi-generational space travel, and dealing with threats from unknown entities (or beings?). Writer Scott Bartlett has authored an impressive library of space adventure books. He is able to tell a story in such a way that you come away from it, feeling you actually spent time with the characters. In 'I, Starship' - I, Reader, imagined how difficult it would be if an AI did possess human consciousness. How strong would the desire be for human interaction?
I have read many of Scott Bartlett's books and have never been disappointed. I believe this will be another great series with a lot of twists.
And, now Scott has enlisted the great Mark Boyett to add his talent to this excellent adventure. You will not be disappointed. -Mr.Bill

Great story

Love the characters, can't wait for the next one to see what happens. The narrator is great too!

An excellent beginning

An excellent beginning to a new series. Now that we have some background on Eve and the town, I'm looking forward to some mystery.

Loved it!!

If you’re in doubt… stop and listen!
I loved every single moment of this book

Intriguing and good story line

Lots of moving story lines. Complex characters that are intertwined. Guilty party was not obvious and was surprising.
