Boney Creek - by Paula Gleeson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When several small-town locals die under mysterious circumstances, an aspiring journalist is determined to prove the connection between them, only to discover the dangerous secrets they left behind.

Boney Creek is a dying town where not a lot happens. The perfect solution for married couple Addie and Toby who are escaping their own personal tragedy. But a quiet and simple life is not exactly possible with so many recent, strange deaths.

Seven locals, all gone too soon. That's the nature of tragic accidents. And in a town this small, there's no room for too many questions.

But Addie isn't so sure. Although she never followed through on her dreams of becoming a journalist, she still has a reporter's instincts. And her gut--not to mention all the small-town gossip--is telling her that whatever's happening in Boney Creek is not as random as it seems.

There's no such thing as coincidence, especially when it comes to seven bodies. And while burying her own secrets, Addie digs up far greater ones that will have her asking if she will be the town's next so-called accident.
