The Graveyard Girls

Detective Ellie Reeves, Book 11

By: Rita Herron

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

A totally gripping serial killer thriller

A shrill scream pierced the night air. She caught the fluttering bedroom curtain and held it aside. Her little sister stared over her shoulder, trembling. A figure they knew, in a dark coat and ski hat, emerged from the bushes and stared at the window. If they tried to stop him, they’d end up in the ground…

When the skeletal remains of a teenage girl are discovered buried in a deserted graveyard it’s a chilling case for Detective Ellie Reeves. Her heart catches with emotion as she examines the grave for clues and uncovers a haunting detail. One red shoe lies in the dirt, just like the one sixteen-year-old Ruth Higgins was wearing when she disappeared years earlier. Everyone in the town mourned beautiful golden girl Ruth, but her suspected killer, gravedigger Earl Bramble, escaped from police custody and hasn’t been seen since.

Ellie knows she must work fast, and then a call comes in that turns the blood in her veins to ice. Another teenage girl, a recent runaway, has been found buried with one red shoe. The evidence suggests that Earl must be back. But when Ellie goes to the old clapboard house where Earl’s daughters still live, they claim to know nothing about their father…

Ellie needs her team on side to help her solve this shocking case. But just as she begins to make headway, she discovers a connection from the past between one of her most trusted colleagues and the gravedigger’s daughters that throws everything she thought into disarray. With parents terrified, girls in danger and a cold-hearted killer stealing innocent lives, can Ellie find him, and make him pay, before it is too late?

A completely pulse-pounding crime thriller for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine and Melinda Leigh. Prepare to start sleeping with the lights on after tearing through The Graveyard Girls.

A tragic book of the innocent

what happened to the rangers dog. Unexpected and predictable. Romance did not work as I had hoped but I hoped the faithful and steady might finally find his happiness with a new opportunity. Tragic family story and loss. Hope for a new life.

Great story

Great book and story. I love the characters and story line. Can’t wait to read more in this series.

The

Narrator is just getting worse and worse. The voices are bad and the tone is more and more grating. It’s sad bc I love these characters and the storyline was great! Not sure what has happened to the narrator I have listened to many books she reads, but this one was like nails on a chalkboard.
