Eve Sawyer Mystery #1
Murder Creek
College student Eve Sawyer senses something disturbing at Murder Creek—the site named for infamous murders committed centuries earlier and where Lacey Walken went missing.
Twenty years ago, Lacey disappeared without a trace … except for her bloody scarf tangled in fallen branches at the muddy water’s edge.
Drawn to this cold case, Eve goes back to investigate and write a report for her journalism class. As she discovers a small town’s long-buried dark secrets, the pieces of the puzzle come together: the legacy of a man, the fate of a beautiful woman, and the lives that changed forever.
But someone wants Eve to stop—someone with everything to lose.
If Eve’s not careful, she could be next.

Intrigued by a small town's name and the reason behind its name, Eve Sawyer, journalism student, stops to find out more. She's then captured by a more recent incident: the disappearance of a young, beautiful woman several years earlier, which prompts Eve decides to write her term paper about this case.
She talks to many townspeople who knew the woman, reviews old newspaper articles, and gets a feel for the situation, putting a number of pieces together to solve the case.
Eve is just so darned nice and enthusiastic, and it's hard not to like her. The case has a lot of emotion tied up with it, and I like how the story worked out.
This was a diverting short mystery, with a likeable main character. The only thing I will say is while listening to this, I kept thinking of the countless, not beautiful, not white women whose disappearances and murders are not terribly well investigated.

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.

Murder Creek
By Jane Suen
5 stars
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.

5 Stars
I am a professed 100% complete lifelong fan of this author, I don't care what it is, if her name is on it I read it. She is one of those authors that you never know what your going to get when you open one of her books and she always finds a way to mess with my mind and leaves me staring into space when I finish one of her stories.
In saying all of that..I loved Murder Creek. Is it a favorite of all I've read from her?.. No. That is because it didn't leave me questioning everything at the end and didn't have a mind bending twist like most of her stories do. Does it mean I enjoyed it any less?.. No. This was still vintage Jane Suen and everything I love about her. She is a master storyteller and I felt like I was in the book, walking right alongside Eve, I could see her hotel room, I could feel the atmosphere while at the creek, I was hesitant about everyone she met in her journey to find out what happened to Lacey Walken. I love how dedicated Eve was and her nightmares scared me. I felt it all and that's just one of the reasons I love this author so much!
Not going to give away any part of this storyline, you have to read it and experience the building of this investigation and see how it ends. This part was not something I expected and it was enough of a twist to make every word leading up to it totally worth it.
Read this and everything else you can get your hands on by this author..She is amazing!
Bring on the next :)

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

The story Murder Creek by Jane Suen is an amazing book to read. It pulled me in right from the start and didn’t let go until I had finished the final page. It has mystery and suspense. I loved reading about the character of Eve Sawyer. She is drawn to Murder Creek and the unsolved disappearance of Lacey Walken. Eve is determined to find out what happened so many years ago. She is stubborn and resourceful. Will Eve find out what happened to Lacey? Read this book to find out. This story had me following the clues with Eve and I felt like I was right there with her investigating. There are interesting and intriguing additional characters that are introduced. Some of them are helpful to Eve and others are not. This is a story that is captivating, and you will find yourself not able to put it down. It is a book that I would highly recommend reading.

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 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!

If you love mysteries, “Murder Creek” is perfect for you. When Eve Sawyer, a young journalist, comes across an old murder case, she decides to travel all the way to Murder Creek to find out what exactly happened to Lacey Walken, who seemingly disappeared many years ago. Only a bloody scarf was found as evidence; apart from that, no trace of Lacey and on top of things, the people who knew the girl appear to be more than reluctant in revealing what they knew about the case.
Eve was a perfect choice for a central character. Her determination to get to the bottom of things and her refusal to submit to threats was truly worth admiration, and I applauded her journalist’s intuition on more than one occasion. Multiple secondary characters, all harboring some sort of a secret; intriguing plot and an unexpected finale made “Murder Creek” a wonderful read! Definitely recommended to all fans of the genre.

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.

Tried to put it down...and failed!
As a business owner, I’m a busy guy. So why, oh why, did I start reading this book? It started out with an interesting mystery that was a pleasant read, and I felt like I could put it down and get back to work whenever I wanted. The farther I got, the more I became invested in finding out what happened, and I found myself reading when I should have been working! Dang it!
The writing is smooth and easy to read, the characters are believable (I’ve got folks just like them walking around my hometown), and the story pulled me in until I just couldn’t read it fast enough. I really enjoyed the main character…intelligent, persistent, and intuitive. Loved it.

Something about Murder Creek draws Eve Sawyer’s interest. Maybe it’s the name or the fact that the name is based on real murders. Decades before, a woman named Lacey disappeared near there. Desperate to figure out what happened to her, Eve goes on an investigation for her journalism class. As she gets tangled in the town’s dark secrets, she ends up getting a target put on her back. She has to get to the bottom of the truth before it’s too late.
Eve was a spunky and resourceful MC. She was easy to follow along with, and her skills as a journalist made the story even more interesting. There were a lot characters sprinkled along her journey, most of them dedicated to keeping her from the truth. I had a fun time learning about all the secrets of the town. In some parts, the scenery was described with such detail it was almost easy enough to see the events of this book playing out.
If you’re looking for a murder mystery with a hook, this is a must read.

College student Eve Sawyer is needing to finish a paper for her journalism class, but her heart is not in it. Eve stumbles upon Murder Creek, a place with a haunting history and a more recent incident. The disappearance of Lacey Walken twenty years ago. Eve makes a pitch to her instructor to change her paper and he agrees sending Eve to Murder Creek to see if she can provide any insight as to what happened. Will she uncover who was involved or why Lacey disappeared?
I listened to the audiobook version and was pulled in right away. You get to know the towns people and what happened leading up to Lacey's disappearance. The pacing of the story is good and I would definitely check out the next book in the series.

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 .

I’ve always been fascinated by the story behind place names, which is why this short novel piqued my interest. The story begins on a whim as Eve, a budding young journalism student, drives across Murder Creek bridge and gets a sixth sense that there is a mystery to be solved there. She trusts her intuition and decides to investigate. A thorough but empathic investigator, she searches for clues in a small community loath to give up their secrets. The author’s clever plot kept me guessing all the way through and Jane Suen’s flowing description and easy writing style made Murder Creek a pleasure to read. I look forward to more of her stories.

This is a short mystery that kept my interest from the beginning. There is a large cast of characters that come into play as Eve sorts through the evidence for a missing girl. I didn’t see the ending which is a plus. I love not being able to figure out the “who-dunnit”.
This is not a first time author for me. The story moves along at a quick pace. It has lovely short chapters which helps move things along for some reason. The characters are interesting and i was suspicious of them all! For a quick mystery...pickup this up.

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.

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 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 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 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!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I loved the writing style and how the author described her surroundings; I could really picture what she was seeing. The author got the name for this book from a place she’s personally been to, which made this book all the more personal; that added to the fact I could relate to her when she mentioned having a morbid curiosity about crime made me feel all the more closer to the book and the author which I think is so important. This was a really easy read and I’m excited to read more from the author.

I loved this book, my favorite. This is a well written, creative, sitting on the edge of your seat story. The characters, Eve is my favorite, bring the story to life. This story is a journey of suspense, mystery that takes place in a town named for past murders. Eve finds herself being pulled toward a cold case of a missing girl. The more she puts the pieces together the more danger it creates for her. This is a must read, I highly recommend finding out if Eve survives her investigation.

You did it again Jane. Your cozy mysteries are always fresh and relaxing to what I usually read. This story was fun to read and the main character, Eve was there to solve the cold case of a missing woman from years ago. As with all of Jane When's books, they always end in a positive note.
The authors other books in the series are just as refreshing and enjoyable to read as this first book in the series.

This was a short murder mystery with a lot of emotions tied up to it. The main character Eve was like me because i was imagining myself solving this mystery. I couldn't put the book down it was gripping and eve did soo much to find out what happened in that town reading old newspapers reviews and talking to towns people. In the end it was so emotional i loved everything. This book is written so well you will not put it down. ❤️❤️
