Murder Creek
By Jane Suen
☆☆☆☆☆
Murder and a missing girl.

Eve Sawyer wants to find answers to the town of Murder Creek. Deep into her investigation, she discovers a girl who has been missing for many years. Eve needs to find out what happened to Lacey. She also gets deep in her voyeurism, and discovers so much more. Lets not forget someone wants to stop Eve from finding answers. Take the chance and read this story. I bet you will like it as much as I did.

Jane Suen has written this adventure, she included exciting twists and turns. Turning this book into a real page turner. Her writing is unique, in the way she puts you right into the investigation. I love her characters as well. Eve is a real go getter, she won’t stop until her case is solved. Well done Jane Suen. I am so happy I read Murder Creek.

Murder Creek isn’t the first book that I have read by this author but it was one of the best in my option. I was sucked into the story from page one and even though it’s different than what I normally read, it was fantastic. Eve is our main character and she is great. She is dedicated and I enjoyed being able to see where her she was headed next and the clues she was following. The whole story is an investigation and I couldn’t wait to follow it to the end and solve the mystery. I am looking forward to reading more by this author!

Murder Creek is a suspenseful and mysterious read. I was immediately drawn into the storyline with Eve’s trip and but of research on Murder Creek. I was very curious and the author really drew me in with the missing girl. I loved this book and how easy it was to read and follow. I really enjoyed the variety of characters and scenery. The author was descriptive enough to easily picture each scene without being over the top. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future and I highly recommend this book!

Murder Creek by Jane Suen is a truly phenomenal murder mystery read! I have read and loved all of this author’s work but this book is my absolute favourite so far!!

Like always when I dive into a book by this author I found myself unable to put it down, I couldn’t wait to get answers to all of my questions and I really enjoyed getting to know Eve, she was a great main character.

Murder Creek is a murder mystery by Jane Suen. I have read quite a few books by this writer and I knew that I’d be in for a treat – the writing was smooth and the characters were intriguing and the story was compelling! On top of it all, Murder Creek is a standalone so if you are a lover of mystery stories then you don’t need to be concerned with whether there is a backstory etc. and you can simply grab a copy and enjoy yourself!
Jane Suen gives us Eve Sawyer who has a bit of sixth sense going on and she gets drawn to the unsolved disappearance of Lacey Walken. Eve is stubborn and even though Lacey disappeared years ago, she is determined to figure out what happened to her! We follow the clues along with Eve and meet all the additional characters that make as look up and ponder “I wonder what they are hiding”… The deeper Eve digs the more dangerous the situation turns and you will be biting your fingernails and hoping that she solves it before she becomes an unsolved case herself!

Murder Creek by Jane Suen is a short, quick mystery read. Lacey went missing 20 years ago. Eve is in town to work on a journalism report and gets drawn into Lacey’s story. Will she find out about the skeletons in Murder Creek’s closet?
This is an interesting read and I didn’t want to put it down. Eve is a good character and the story kept me intrigued. I wanted to figure out the mystery to Lacey’s disappearance and all the secrets of the town. I have enjoyed several other books by Jane Suen and was glad to read another of her stories.

Murder Creek by Jane Suen is an intriging mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end. Jane has done a great job at building the plot and the suspense that keeps you trying to put the pieces together. The story is told in the main characters POV as she is on the path to finding the truth of a mystery that surrounds Murder Creek.

Eve Sawyer wants to be a journalist, so when she stumbles across Murder Creek she knows she has to find the truth and what happened to Lacey Walken. This journey takes her to meet many people and find many clues but what she finds was far from what she expected.

I definitely recommended to all mystery fans.

What a read! Jane Suen is a new author for me and I absolutely loved this book. It was fantastically written, flowed from chapter to chapter and completely and utterly pulled you into the read! It had you on the edge of your seat with the suspense and mystery that is weaved through this read. This read was written in such a way you could mentally visualise what was happening in the story, and it made you believe you were there alongside the characters living out the story. With not wanting to give to much of the story away, you will definitely not be disappointed you picked up this read!
I can’t wait to see what else this author brings, ill be eagerly waiting for whatever comes next!

Murder Creek by Jane Suen is a great mystery despite the limited pages. Jane Suen’s writing ability is above par and it is evident in each and every story written. In Murder Creek, the author has created Eve who is an amazing lead character. The extent and depth she goes for something that drives her interest is remarkable despite the creepy chill of the events that occurred. The suspense was well paced to last throughout the story garnering reader interest, along with the overall story line. This is a must read author. Once you read one, you’ll want to read more!!

Murder Creek by Jane Suen a five-star read that is worth solving. This is my favourite of this author, there was just something special about it, it really takes you into the story, it gives you the brain itch, you need to figure it out alongside Eve. Eve was a surprise, she was almost like a dog with a bone at times, but it meant that her passion flew from the page. I must say don’t start this one when you don’t have time as you wont want to put it down, Jane Suen has a great way of pulling you in and making you care, Eve feels so well done.

Yet again another wonderful read by this author! She never fails to entertain me with her writing and I love that I never really know what I’m going to get when I read one of her books, usually they are very thought-provoking and whilst I didn’t really get that with Murder Creek I still got an extremely well written and entertaining unpredictable read. I think the main character took a little time to get used to but once I did I thought she was great. She was definitely determined to find out what had happened to Lacey! I loved how Ms Suen kept me guessing all the way through the story and I almost felt like I was right there with Eve collecting clues and trying to find out what had happened. As a reader I felt very engaged with the storyline.
I 100% recommend this exciting read and I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

Suen continues to be a must read author for me. Murder Creek is no exception. From beginning to end, Suen captivates me with the storyline and characters, keeping me reading and guessing and frantically trying to keep up. If you’ve got a whodunit mystery suspense on your radar, this book needs to be your next adventure.

I am a huge fan of the way Jane Suen writes. Each word is necessary. Each paragraph serves a purpose. Each chapter adds another piece to the puzzle.

MURDER CREEK is a quick mystery. There is no sex, there are no swears. It is a story I wish I could read again for the first time.

I absolutely recommend this book and this author!!

Murder Creek by Jane Suen was a quick murder mystery that’s both pulling and entertaining.

Not my first read by this author so I knew going in that the writing would be smooth, plot on point and the story compelling. I was not let down and I was pulled in right away by this thrilling mystery. This is a standalone so no worries about past story lines, or continuation plots that will confuse you.

Right away we meet or MC, she’s a bit of a free spirited and knows what she wants in life, I did find her a little immature, but it wasn’t a draw back, just showed her age. It was a nice balance and added a nice layer to the MC. I loved the mystery and her need to find out what happened to the missing girl. It was nice following the clues and piecing it together, and trying to find out what happened. It was fully engaging and I had a pretty good time reading it.

Overall if you’re looking for a pulling, thrilling mystery with twist , turns, and suspense, then please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will fall hard for this wondrous mystery.

Happy Reading

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have yet to find a Jane Suen novel that I have not absolutely loved. Murder Creek is no deviation from the rule. Jane Suen writes with such vibrancy and emotion that I always feel as if I have been on an emotional and physical journey when I have finished one of her novels. In Murder Creek I was right with Eve, our MC, as she weeded her way through the mystery and intrigue that is this book. Her personality is written so that I felt as if I was reading about a real actual woman that had indeed been through all of this. I even felt this girls terror with those grisly nightmares that she suffers through. About half way through I found myself disregarding the 1 am time and pushing onward to figure out what was going to come of this. I am so glad that I did and it was worth every moment of sleep deprivation. I won’t be giving you any more details than that though. You will have to take my word for it that this a book you can’t miss out on and one-click right now. I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I am now going to wait with baited breath for the next little gem that Suen produces.

Murder Creek by Jane Suen is a book that is full of suspense and intrigue and will keep you reading right to the last page.
I have read quite a few books by this author recently but none had grabbed my attention in quite the way this book did. No this book didn’t have quite the same effect at the end, and no I didn’t find it to be full of as many twists but there as something about this story that completely drew me in. I just knew that I had to read more.
I love how, when you pick up a book by this author, you never quite know what you are going to get. Each story is totally different and not at all typical. And that is exactly what you get from this book. I picked it up expecting one thing only to be delivered an entirely different story. If you haven’t already discovered this book, or this author, then I would recommend you doing so immediately.

If you are a mystery lover, that you have to read Murder Creek by Jane Suen. Jane Suen is an author that I have been following with all your books. I love a good mystery book. One reason I really like Jane Suen is that she takes me on an adventure every time I open her book. She has a way with words. She is a great storyteller. In this story, Eve has found an “cold” case of a murder. She is investigating it for her journalism class she is taking. There are questions being asked that people are uncomfortable. This murder happened a long time ago and the killer wants it to remain unsolved. Will Eve be able to solve this cold case? Will Eve get herself in trouble that she cannot get out of? You will have to read this story to find out the answers to this story and more.

This book was an awesome read. This story had many twists and turns and what I really enjoyed about it was that there were multiple events happening at the same time. I was very impressed with how it kept me engrossed and entertained throughout and how it all came together in the end. This is the second book in this series and I have to say I held high expectations from the first book and I’m happy to say this one met my expectations. Madeline has grown and changed in some ways in this story and I’m excited for you to experience it. I highly recommend this book.

A High Price to Pay is the second book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Madeline Dawkins series that provides us with suspense and excitement that leaves us at the edge of our seat until we get to the end! You can read it as a standalone but I would recommend to start with the first book as you will want to know how it all started and how Madeline becomes the woman (and the PI) she is today!
Madeline and Mike have ‘graduated’ from their PI internship and they start their own firm. Maddie is combining her two careers – event coordinator and PI. In the midst of Maddie organizing the most lavish weekend long birthday bash for Hollywood set she needs to solve two murders and also deal with her past when the madman she testified against and helped to put behind the bars gets out on parole …
It is a great story with characters that leave an impression and you will keep looking for the next story!

A High Price to Pay (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 2) by Cynthia Hamilton has once again cleverly woven threads to give us another thrilling, fast paced,and exciting story that had me on the edge of the seat from start to finish. Murder and mystery, fear and drama, love and hurt were compelling and emotions were running rampant but the story and the plot flowed smoothly. It can be read as a standalone since there is sufficient information from the first book ‘Girl Trap’ to bring you up to speed but I recommend you read it first as it gives you much more depth to the person Madeline is and what she has gone through.

Madeline fights once again for truth and justice as she faces off against the one monster that has haunted her dreams and made her life a living hell. Unfortunately she can’t seem to catch a break when organising a birthday bash which turns into murder and she is once again in the hunt to catch a killer.

Cynthia has infused elements of humor throughout which kept things from getting to dark and provided a laugh.

If you love a good mystery then give this series a go. You will be pleasantly surprised.

This is series that has threads and characters that run through each story. While not imperative, I think it would be helpful to read in order.

The author writes a very detailed book. At times, I found myself skimming more than I thought I would. However, even though I skimmed I was able to grasp the storyline and the intricacies of the mystery/suspense.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 2) by Cynthia Hamilton is a four star novel. Madeline is an event planner and also now a private investigator. Even though this is the second book of the series, I didn’t think it was necessary to have to read the first one first. The first one would give you extra insight into the characters of the novel, but isn’t necessary to understand what is going on. I loved how the author is able to give you just enough information that the characters are being developed and it isn’t redundant from the first novel. First jewels are stolen while a big wedding is being prepared, then a character is being released from prison early, then things progress from there. I loved how it just progresses from one thing onto the next to the next. There is never a dull moment in this novel.

This book did not go the way I thought, but in a good way. It hooked me from the beginning but it did a lose me in a couple spots, I had to go back and make sure I had read something right (all on me, not the writing). Told in one POV of the main character, we follow her on a journey of finding answers in a town she was just passing through.
I did feel I never got the full answer of what her different ability was, yes we experience her getting visuals but never a clear cut, this is what happens.

I didn’t see the ending coming out the way it did, I had a thought on someone else for that actually! Great read .

A High Price to Pay is the second book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. I highly suggest that you read book 1, Spouse Trap. There are some sequences in A High Price to Pay makes more sense and gives it a deeper meaning and understanding in the book. I really love Madeline in this book. It is like Ms. Hamilton took time to give the details of Madeline that were not shared in the first book. Madeline and Mike are back to investigate missing property which turns into a murder investigation. I went on the adventure with Madeline and Mike. The characters are so real that I could see myself being their friend. With this story there were moments that there was an abundance of detail. It makes reading at parts a bit too much. Do not let that stop you from reading this exciting book.

My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

A High Price to Pay (Madeline Dawkins #2) by Cynthia Hamilton was a thrilling, fast pace, exciting read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

The second book in this top shelf series, we are in the hot seat with Madeline as she’s told that the man, that hunts her dreams has been cut a deal and is out on the streets again. In saying this, this series follows a continuous timeline and plot, so I highly suggest reading the first book, as you won’t get get full effect of Madeline fear, and turmoil without it.

Like the first book the tones are heavy from the start, telling you this isn’t going to be a light and fluffy read. As things get heated up, and bodies start rolling in, Madeline once again, has to use her wit, smarts and steel resolve to make it out alive. The book really highlighted her growth as a character, and seeing the progress she has made from that first book was excellent.

I will say that there were some, situations, that pulled me out of this story. There was some over-explaining in parts, and, what got me the most was the, going into too much detail about the murders. That made for weird lulls, and broken continuity. But other than that, this was a pretty solid read. The mystery was compelling, the emotions high, and the plot line itself was smooth.

So overall this book gets my high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

A High Price To Pay was a suspenseful and exciting novel. Madeline is given news that one of the men who left her for dead has been released. When he turns up dead a few days later things really begin to go crazy. It is enough that she is dealing with her two busy careers already.

This was such a fun and exciting read. It is the second book in this series and can be read as a standalone. It is actually the first book I have read by this author and I am definitely going to look into reading the other books in this series. I loved Madeline’s strong and self sufficient character. She was very driven despite her occasional flash backs from her traumatizing events. I also loved her partner Mike. He was funny and also protective. This was a magnificent read and I highly recommend it!

I thoroughly enjoyed Spouse Trap and was so looking forward to this book. Madeline is so much more sure of herself and I loved seeing how much she had matured as a character. She’s not throwing a minor pity party anymore because she knows she can take care of herself but also doesn’t have that superhero complex that drives me up the wall.
The story line did get a bit crowded at one point because so much was being thrown at Madeline and Mike, and even though they were repetitive in talking though details of the case, I didn’t mind that. It made me think of how I need to talk though things out loud (no matter who is around) to really get a handle on problems and such.
Overall, I loved the story and hope to see more in this series.

Okay this series just gets better and better with each novel! I can’t wait to get my hands on the next Madeline Dawkins book, Girl Trap, but alas I will divulge some tidbits about this current installment, A High Price to Pay. In this novel we find Madeline finishing up the PI training and making the necessary steps to being a full-time detective. In order to do so she must first finish up and survive the last major event that she is responsible for. Things only take on more twists and turns when a crazed man that Madeline testified against is let out of prison on a plea deal. There is nothing boring about this novel, it just keeps on throwing punches right up until those last few chapters. I adored every moment of it and truly was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! I look forward to seeing what will come for Madeline in the next book, I am sure it will be fantastic and most likely will be even better than this one, a hard task considering I would give this 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much for the fabulous read Ms. Hamilton!
