SOON...Another Sydney Parnell Mystery from Barbara Nickless!

Dead Stop by author Barbara Nickless is a fast paced suspense thriller which will keep you turning
pages! The story opens with the Davenport family who live close to Denver, CO. Ben Davenport is writing a book about the history of the railroads. Although he has a slight limp and unspeakable memories from his time in the war, he is happy to be home with his family. Ben’s beautiful wife, Samantha is a professional photographer and they have two sons and a young daughter, Lucy.
What happens next sets the pace for the mystery and the suspense of the story. The weaving together of events from Ben’s family’s history results in a current twisted tale of greed, murder, and deceit.
I won’t post spoilers, but this is a very well written murder mystery which will have you feeling compassion for K-9 Detective Parnell. If you read the previous Sydney Parnell mystery, Blood on the Tracks, you will understand Marine Corporal Parnell’s ongoing struggle with PTSD and dealing with the various griefs of war. I have enjoyed reading the quotes of “Sydney Parnell’s Personal Journal” as much as I have enjoyed the drama of the story. Sydney Parnell and her K-9 partner Clyde are inseparable and determined to find and bring little Lucy home! Great Story!
