Murder Creek by Jane Suen – Review by Beverly Finnie

Murder Creek by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder Creek was different. It kind of reminded me of the show Cold Case. The author presented the story in a different light. Instead of local police looking into a cold case, it was a student. Not only a student but one who is studying journalism.
Eve came across a story of this missing girl who was never solved. She felt it was her need to dig and do this girl justice. So much so that she asked her professor to give her an incomplete, so she could use this story as her semester project. Not realizing what she would find by digging. People were reluctant, people really didn’t want her digging, and others told her what they knew.
What was the question she was trying to answer, what happened to Lacey Walken?
The author put together a wonderful investigative mystery that keeps the reader wondering. I’m typically really good at figuring things out early, but it even took me some time navigating before I got there. Which kept me interested, kept me intrigued, and made me want more. Which to me is exactly what the author is trying to do with their work.
So if you like cold case mysteries, give this shorter story a try. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
