The Eagle Murders
About
When her friend backs out of an eagle-watching trip on Skagit River, Sarah Tierney decides to go ahead, solo. The evening before the rafting trip, Sarah meets a young homeless woman in an abandoned church who reminds her of her deceased sister, Marilu. The next day, she encounters the girl again, but this time, the girl is as dead as Marilu.
The modus operandi seems familiar! Has the Skagit River Killer returned? When two other passengers on the rafting trip also end up murdered, Sarah finds herself under the wing of Harold Workman, a no-nonsense lawman who has come out retirement to protect her. Sarah is attracted to him but feels confused. She senses he’s interested in her, too--but is it because she is a woman? Or because she is a suspect?
Praise for this book
A smoothly flowing plot with unexpected twists and turns and very well-developed characters. The personal aspects of the main character were also carefully woven in. A highly recommended read for the mystery novel enthusiast.
Once one opens this book it is difficult to put it down. Much detail is spent with the feelings and personality of each character and scene. One cannot anticipate the ending. If you were born in the time period that the murder takes place, one will experience each setting as one remembers.
This is one of the most well-crafted books that I’ve read in a long time. It has an exquisitely twisted ending that I did not anticipate! If I had 3 thumbs I would give it a 3 thumbs up. A definite must-read book. I read it in 2 days because I couldn't put it down. This author is so good that I am reading her previous work.
An engaging, mystifying story that jolts the reader along from twist to turn to a final satisfying resolution. A warning – it’s hard to put down when you start caring for the characters who slip from hunters to hunted.
