About the author
Judy K. Walker
16 books42 followersA recovering criminal attorney, Judy K. Walker has enough spare letters after her name (and student loan debt) to suggest that insatiable curiosity is something fictional private investigator Sydney Brennan inherited from her creator. Fortunately, Judy’s curiosity rarely involves murders. She also penned the Dead Hollow Trilogy, an Appalachian thriller series with a touch of the paranormal that taps into her West Virginia origins.
The Sydney Brennan Mysteries stand alone, but do build upon each other. The books, featuring Tallahassee Private Investigator Sydney Brennan and a recurring supporting cast, are (in reading order): Back to Lazarus, Secrets in Stockbridge, The Perils of Panacea, No Safe Winterport, Braving the Boneyard, River Bound, and Grave Truth.
Dead Hollow is a true trilogy of supernatural crime thrillers and must be read IN ORDER: Prodigal, Founder, and Heir.
Judy writes from her home in Hawaii, where she is surrounded by husband, feral pigs, and assorted geckos.

A self-deprecating PI, a few laughs, some action, an introduction to the Forgotten Coast. A good mystery.

Four stars because few things are perfect. However, the pace of the story, the relationship within it, the smart as s telling...all very readable while projecting the fact a young boy loved his mother and really wanted to know his father. The ups and downs occurred at just the right times to keep one reading.

An entertaining read. Tallahassee pi Sydney is pulled into intrigue in the Florida handle by her neighbor who wants to locate her ex. Characters are nuanced and life in the Panhandle is accurate even if a few of the places do not exist. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and plan to read more.

Humor, adventure, humility
A little bit of what we all aspire to be is wrapped up in Sydney Brennan. A surprisingly great find with this series, there is humor, adventure, humility and enough to keep you reading to the next book

Enjoyed this third story about Sydney very much. It was scary, cliff-hanger-y, funny, and entertaining. I'm looking forward to the fourth instalment!
