The Girl in Town

A Chesapeake Valley Mystery, Book 1

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.

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.

Intriguing and good story line

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