Prodigal (Dead Hollow) Paperback – March 17, 2017

A unknown author who now is a favorite! Totally amazed this was such a good read. Good plot, storyline, editing and characters. The end was a tad rushed but the people continue on to the second book. The author reads fresh and energetic. This book was not a struggle to continue or finish. With 55 years in reading/exploring the written word I enjoyed this book. Give her a try. Continuing on to the next in series.

That Judy Walker is an amazing tale teller. I am always in awe of the way her descriptions make the story as vivid as if I were right there in it. Her characters are always interesting and real. The plot has enough twists that, like going around the hairpin turns on a mountain road in West Virginia, you do not see what's coming next. The style of this story is very different than in the Sydney Brennan series, and I liked getting inside the heads of more than one character. I didn't want to stop reading, because each scene leaves you wanting to go around that mountain curve and see what is next.

The supernatural part of this story was interesting to me. The details were a little vague but the main story about the rescue of the little girl was good. And the friendship of Adam and JJ was another part of the story I enjoyed. I' d like to read the other books in this series.

Was a really good read! Loved the characters and story! Want to find the next book! Enjoy this book yourself!

I was very impressed with this book. I have read all of Judy's books and liked the Sydney Brennan books a lot. This book has elevated her work to an entirely new level. I loved it. The suspense was maintained throughout the book and the characters were well developed. I can hardly wait for the second book of the trilogy to come out. It was well worth the wait for this excellent beginning to this trilogy..

This is an interesting mystery, entwined w/another earlier unsolved similar crime. I would've given 5 stars if it left out the supernatural ESP stuff & just used reasoning, guesswork, & detective thought to solve it. I don't like hocus locus. I'd rather read about the interesting thought processes & clues that lead to conclusions. ESP to me is just the easy way of avoiding working things out, avoiding the effort to write a good mystery/detective story & using drama/junk as a short cut. Because I like this author I got a free copy to read before it went public.

WOW this book was more than intriguing. Kept me reading from beginning to end to get to the outcome. I'm usually able to figure out who the villain is, but not this time. It certainly in my opinion deserves 5 stars. I'll certainly recommend this read to Family and Friends. Great Book!

I really enjoyed this story. I wish the story explored the paranormal aspect more. JJ is an awesome character. I love her spunk. I thought the narrator did an excellent job. I received this audio book from the author for my unbiased review.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were relatable and well developed. The supernatural aspect of the story was plausible. I usually find these types of stories tend to fall on the ridiculous side, and leave me wondering why I bothered! The author also has a good sense of small town backwoods life and culture. For once I didn't feel like I was reading a parody or an approximation of my rural view point. It was quite refreshing. All in all, a good story. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Great read and great storyline
