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.

Fantastic ending to a brilliantly written trilogy. This book brings it all together, gives you an amazing journey and even though I could read at least a dozen more books following these amazing characters I was left with a scene of peace. The story was wrapped up beautifully, the journey to the end was expertly written. Once again this Author has delivered a literary work of art. Read this trilogy!

Fantastic

I can't believe that I am through reading this series. Wow! I'm going to miss the mystery, characters and thrills of Dead Hollow. I am very stingy with 5 star ratings, but this series deserves 5 stars.

P.S. I really hope to see Adam and the Gang again in another adventure!

A definite pulse and heart pounding book. A serial killer isn’t the only problem the town faces. A not to be put down until you’re finished type of book.

More , please

I loved this set! I hope there will be more, with all the main characters. Especially, Luther. He's already come so far, and has so much potential.

3.5 stars rounded down.

I liked the characters and how it all ended.

I think I would have rated the book higher if I’d understood it all more.
