A Killing in the Hills: The First Bell Elkins Novel… by Julia Keller
This was (overall) a very good mystery novel, but I'm on the fence as to whether or not I want to continue with the series. The poverty and ruined lives portrayed as part of the West Virginia life was more than a bit depressing. I think I'll try one more Bell Elkins novel before I decide.
One of my favorite series. The writing evokes the often bleak events in Ackers Gap.
The theme of opiates destroying Acker’s Gap continues. Ties up some things and opens new paths for Bell.
Wow! So much can happen, be revealed over the course of 24 hours.
