About this ebook

 

Abigail Sutton’s beloved husband walks out one night, doesn’t return, and two years later is found dead, a victim of a long ago crime. It’s made her sympathetic to the missing and their families.

Starting her new life, Abigail moves to small town and buys a fixer-upper house left empty when old Edna Summers died. Once it was also home to Edna’s younger sister, Emily, and her two children, Jenny and Christopher, who, people believe, drove away one night, thirty years ago, and just never came back.

But in renovating the house Abigail finds scraps of paper hidden behind baseboards and tucked beneath the porch that hint the three could have been victims of foul play.

Then she finds their graves hidden in the woods behind the house and with the help of eccentric townspeople and ex-homicide detective, Frank Lester, she discovers the three were murdered. Then she and Frank try to uncover who killed them and why…but in the process awaken the ire of the murderer. ***

It was a pretty good book, the mysteries in the town interesting. My only gripes were Abigail wasn't fleshed out enough. Nobody could buy a house and get every room painted and wallpapered as fast as she did, the pace was not realistic, and Frank started out with 2 dogs if I remember correctly, then all of a sudden, no more mention of them. Even though this is a fiction, I like books to be realistic.

I would not describe myself as a typical reader coz I do not read novels often....I am more into 'self help' kind of books. However, I decided to cancel all my social media platforms and also abstain from watching any television now for the last 12yrs. Reading became the only other something to do when I am taking a break ... AND this novel was without any doubt the best I have read so far.... Love and Light to you!!

I loved this story and was having a difficult time putting it down. There were a few spots that needed better editing but I have seen worse in other ebooks. This surprises me as I always expected published books not to have any. Anyway, I plan on reading the rest of Spooky town’s series. A good writer.

About the author

About Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Since childhood I’ve been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for twenty-three years before I quit to write full time. But I’d already begun writing novels at 21, over forty-four years ago now, and have had twenty-two (ten romantic horror, two horror novels, two romantic SF horror, one romantic suspense, one romantic time travel, one historical romance, two thrillers, and four murder mysteries) previous novels, two novellas and twelve short stories published from Zebra Books, Leisure Books, Avalon Books, The Wild Rose Press, Damnation Books/Eternal Press. But I’ve gone into self-publishing in a big way since 2012; and upon getting all my 22 books’ full rights back for the first time in 33 years, have self-published all of them. My Dinosaur Lake novels and Spookie Town Mysteries (Scraps of Paper, All Things Slip Away and Ghosts Beneath Us) are my best-sellers.

I’ve been married to Russell for thirty-eight years; have a son and two grandchildren and I live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have a quirky cat, Sasha, and the three of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I’ve been an artist, and a folk/classic rock singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I’ll probably write stories until the day I die…or until my memory goes.
