Wild Creek Whispers

by Cindy Keen Reynders

Wyoming private investigator Reese Golden has been hired by a distraught mother to find her missing 4-year-old daughter. This is no small task, considering that the child has been missing for weeks and has seemingly vanished into thin air.

 

Unfortunately, the police and the FBI haven't been able to come up with any leads. Reese, a former police detective, was shot on the job, which lead to her departure from the force. She is still rebuilding confidence in her abilities, and hesitates to take on the case, but she cannot in good conscience deny the woman's plea for help.

 

Reese uses her gut instincts to research and follow leads that point to the missing girl's whereabouts. Despite the threats against her life, she travels into the backcountry wilderness and the heights of mountain passes to try and locate the child.

Although Reese's attempts to bring the missing girl home to her family prove to be a major challenge, one that is fraught with danger and intrigue, she fights against the odds to stay on her course.

 

With a child's life at stake, she refuses to back down.

 

Not only does Reese discover the truth about herself, she discovers the lengths to which human nature will drive individuals who are desperate to have what they want, no matter the cost.

Reviews

[Kate Vale]

PI Reese Golden got out of police work after she was shot and her partner also wounded, but now she takes on a case to find a kidnap victim. The police in the town have tried but were unsuccessful, but Reese is determined.

As she goes about looking for clues and following them, it's clear someone wants her to go away, putting her in danger several different times. But she seems to be cat-like, a person with nine lives. Question is, will she use them all up before finding the child?

And when she does locate little Daisy, who is going to end up dead or injured? Not Daisy, not Reese? What about the sheriff who seems interested in Reese, even as he warns her off her search?
