Summit Lake by Charlie Donlea
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My second book from Charlie Donlea in one month. He’s someone who is on a roll right now and if you like Thrillers, keep him on your radar. As for the book, it’s well written with the same character-driven chapters that keep you turning the pages.
The story is a healing journey for reporter Kelsey Castle as she is recovering from a brutal attack.
Cops aren’t friendly, secrets and lies are kept hidden too long.
The police didn’t want Becca Eckersley’s story told, that much was obvious. At least, they didn’t want a reporter to tell it.
That doesn’t mean she won’t try.
“Holy cow, girl. You shook the wrong beehive.”
And aspirations to go from Senator to President could prove deadly.
**********************************
Some places seem too beautiful to be touched by horror. Summit Lake, nestled in North Carolina s Blue Ridge Mountains, is that kind of place. But two weeks ago, Becca Eckersley, a first-year law student and daughter of a powerful attorney, was brutally murdered there. Now the town is reeling with grief, and the police are baffled.
At first, investigative reporter Kelsey Castle thinks of the assignment as a fluff piece. But the savagery of the crime, and the efforts to keep it quiet, hint at something far more sinister than a random attack by a stranger. As Kelsey digs deeper, despite danger and warnings, she feels a growing connection to the dead girl. And the more she learns about Becca’s friendships, her love life and her secrets the more convinced she becomes that walking in Becca’s footsteps could lead her out of her own dark past.
