The Creek

Summer Suspense Mysteries Series, Book 2

By: LJ Ross

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE . . .

Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather's cottage at Frenchman's Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase, and little else. Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists, and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business. Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community . . .

Kate's left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She's wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbors offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers . . .

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?

Suspense is peppered with romance and humor in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

Can't Wait for the Next One

Another LJ Ross winner! Mystery, romance, humour, soul-wrenching as well as heart-tugging moments throughout. It's got everything. Loving this series & Clare Corbett is the perfect voice for our heroines.

Enjoyable as the first in this series

Much like “The Cove,” “The Creek” rises to the ultimate, thanks to the joint pairing of author LJ Ross and accomplished narrator Clare Corbett. Ross leads us on a mysterious adventure with creative, odd and devious characters in a small town that I’d want to live. Listen intently as not to miss the many subplots as they interweave. I do wish these listens were hours longer, but found them as complexellent as my favorite British thrillers. I look forward to book #3, “The Bay” release on December 26.

Excellent

Absolutely must read. Captivating, great characters and mystery with a feel good ending! Waiting for another!!

Loved it!!!

This is a new LJ Ross series for me, and I really enjoyed it!

good clean thriller with enough romance to satisfy

good story and although few events were predictable, I love a happy ending with a strong heroine who triumphs over her tormentor.
