Raging Water

A rash of burglaries and the murder of two women shock the mountain community of Bear Creek. Add a fast-moving thunderstorm, which brings torrential rains, and Tempe Crabtree, the resident deputy sheriff, can forget about her days off. Who would murder two harmless women? Did a drug addict simply want their medications, or did they share a secret someone was willing to kill for? When a massive mudslide blocks the road into town, temporary shelters are set up. Residents high above the river open their homes to friends and neighbors, and tensions rise and tempers flare. Tempe survives two attempts on her life before coming face-to-face with an unrepentant murderer and a vicious burglar, both of whom share a scandalous secret. This in Marilyn Meredith's long-running Tempe Crabtree series will keep you glued to your seat and turning pages right up to the end.
