Lizzie Fox

By: Mike Murphy

Narrated by: Laura Horowitz

Lizzie Fox is the story about a courageous and determined young woman, who grew up in foster care. She has suffered terrible injustice in her life and so hates it when she encounters it. In the small South Texas town of Seclusion, that injustice takes the form of racial and economic injustice violently controlled and policed by the county’s rich and powerful, including the local sheriff, the wealthy oil barons and the hierarchy within the church. To make ends meet, Lizzie takes a job at a weekly newspaper.

Following the mysterious and unsolved death of a young Black girl named Pearl, she sets out on a quest to unravel the cover up which gives her an outlet for her anger and a friend and mentor in the newspaper’s owner, Bud Harkins. This brings her into a friendship with Preston Lott, a gifted football player and cousin of Pearl. Their later romance tests the boundaries of interracial relationships in 1960. Her search for justice eventually takes her into the bowels of Nuevo Laredo’s infamous “Boys Town,” where she barely escapes with her life and the sordid truth that Seclusion has kept hidden for years.

Nostalgia, intrigues, hatred and more

Set in the 1960's, in a small town in Texas begins this interesting story of Lizzie, I can say that I was captivated since I started listening to it, personally I like suspense and here you also find betrayal, intrigue and a series of things that make the novel very entertaining, totally recommended.

A Awesome History!!!

The setting is a small town called Seclusio, Texas, a novel with a story of betrayal and pain, plus Lizzie Fox's struggle to investigate how a black woman died, confronting church members and more, a very entertaining novel.

it was like looking back in time

Growing up in the south from 1956 through the 60's, I saw this story play out. Small town S.C. had a lot of this same feel. last name, money, and skin color decided your status position. This was an excellent book in my opinion. You felt the highs, and lows of the characters. The narration made it easy to keep up with character changes. we'll worth your time.

A Heroine Named Lizzie Fox!

It is the story of Lizzie Fox, brave and determined, she faces many obstacles to find the truth, I also highlight the detail of the author that made me keep in suspense throughout the novel and I would love to hear what is coming in a new novel.
