Book Summary
The Hook
It’s 1976 and Ernest Kemp is looking for his wife and daughter. After leaving the US Navy, he finds his way to Hallowell, Maine. He’s an outsider and the townsfolk don’t trust him. Their suspicions increase when someone starts killing children. After being falsely accused and arrested, Ernest teams up with Samantha Belcher as she investigates the murders for the Kennebec Journal. They discover the murders are ritualistic sacrifices. Ernest and Samantha’s issues rise as bullfrogs roam all over town and three new outsiders resemble women from a 100-year-old news article. Will they find the killers and Ernest’s family before another child dies?
What readers say about the book🧐
The writing and conversational banter drew me in right from the first car wreck… and my wife is currently pregnant, so that made Sarah’s death kind of hit home for me, and made me want to keep reading from the get go. The reactions of the characters were realistic and believable, and the supernatural horror of the book was aptly used in this good read.
