Grave Truth: A Sydney Brennan Novel

Rate this book
A runaway teen. A dying wish. A shallow schoolyard grave…

When PI Sydney Brennan is hired to find a man’s missing niece, memories of her own troubled teenaged years make the hunt a personal priority. But she can’t refuse a man’s deathbed request, to uncover a boy’s long-forgotten, final resting place at a shuttered juvenile center.

Once Sydney commits to tackling both high stakes assignments, life gets complicated. Locating the missing teen is only the first hurdle on the runaway front, and someone demonstrates an alarming interest in the cold case. With the young victim decades in the ground, who are they protecting? And why?

Can Sydney expose the shady correctional facility’s grim secrets before more skeletons are buried? Maybe even her own…

Grave Truth continues the gritty Sydney Brennan Mysteries (see reading order below). If you like dark conspiracies, sarcastic humor, and shocking surprises, then you’ll love Judy K. Walker’s chilling story.

About the author

Judy K. Walker

16 books42 followers
A 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.

I have read all the Sydney Brennan Novels! Not one left me feeling that it was money wasted.

I have always been a chronological reader, and you need to be as these are all interlinked, caracters, evenys, places and lest we forget an incredible woman I would want in my corner always.

I dare you to read thes suspense series, I can gaurantee you will come back for more.

Sydney Brennan is on the job again. An action packed story with everything from uncovering graves to runaway teenagers. Sydney finds herself in the middle of it all. She uses her skills to put everything right. I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Sydney is back with a vengeance! That girl can get in more trouble :) This was a great story and I couldn't put it down and at the end wished it was longer. Can't wait for more Sydney! (and Glenn :))

I love Sydney

Reading these Sydney Brennan books have been a great experience. She's gritty and real and always runs toward danger in order to help someone. I'm afraid to look, but I do hope there are more Sydney books to come.
