Book Review: Creepy
Summary: 5 Stars
Camille, young cub reporter from Chicago is sent to her small hometown in the bootheal of Missouri to investigate the murder of one little girl and the disappearance of another. Typical plot, but the author doesn't give us the typical characters with the typical happy ending. Far from it.
This is a dark and disturbing story with no holes barred and not for the faint of heart. All of the characters are messed up in one way or another, and this may be the most dysfunctional family saga I've ever read. I'm not even sure why I liked it and read it in one day, but I did but I'm not sure I could recommend this to everyone.
Nice to see a new author tackle difficult problems, thus the 5 stars.
