Dead Woman Crossing

Detective Kimberley King, Book 1

By: Jeneva Rose

Narrated by: Patricia Rodriguez

A detective with everything to prove. A devastating murder. A town full of secrets….

Haunted by the serial killer she never caught, Detective Kimberley King leaves her job in New York and relocates to the sleepy town of Dead Woman Crossing, Oklahoma. Kimberley hopes to bring her daughter Jessica up close to her family, far from the bad memories the city holds. But her quiet new home is not the peaceful place she dreamed of. Within days of her arrival, Kimberley is called to the scene of a terrible crime: her friend Hannah, a single mother, has been brutally murdered while her one-year-old daughter was sleeping nearby.

Kimberley can’t ignore the similarity of Hannah’s death to that of Katie James, a young woman who was murdered in front of her small daughter in 1905, on the banks of the same twisting creek. Dead Woman Crossing is named after her, and it seems someone is drawing inspiration from the crime. Could this killer be a copycat?

But as she interviews suspects, Kimberley is met with blank faces and closed lips. In a small town, people won’t talk, and when she pursues a promising lead, her own family turn their back on her. Kimberley isn’t afraid to ask questions, but when she receives a threatening note, she realizes that, as a single mother to a young daughter, she might be putting herself dangerously in the killer’s sights…,

A gripping, atmospheric crime thriller inspired by true events, about a town on the edge of collapse and a murder that shakes the community. Dead Woman Crossing is perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Lisa Regan, and Jane Harper.

It’s okay

I’m not a huge fan of the narrator. The story was predictable but still held my attention. If you need an easy listen definitely check it out.

Love this murder mystery!

I love when I can’t stop listening to a book and this one I didn’t want to put down!

Good story

The narration of the baby voice and the speed reading during intense parts made the book less enjoyable. Good story though :)

Great book, not my favorite narrator.

I almost didn't finish this book after the first few minutes. I don't know why, but I had a hard time listening to this narrator's voice. The book was great though. Good twists and good amount of emotion. I was really able to get into it. Will recommend.

Very good read.

I didn’t like the voice of little Jessica. It sounded creepy and not like a toddler of the off that age.
