Small Town Mystery Books Novels & Stories

And as if to respond to me, I felt a sudden pull towards a simple house in the far corner of the village. "You're back! I'm glad you're back safe and sound!" a woman came out of the house and greeted me with an affectionate smile. The woman possesses simple short, brown hair, brown sharp eyes, upturned nose, and thin pink lips. Unlike the other people I've seen in this village, she looks nobler although she is also wearing modest clothing. For some reason... my heart faster the moment I heard her voice. "Do you know me?" I asked the woman. The woman only smiles at me and offers her right hand.

Finally, she decided to explore the study that Rydell and Melania had provided for her. The shelf to the right of the door was filled with books of all subjects. There were reference books, fantasy books, science fiction books, and even romance books. She looked at the titles and noticed that some of the authors were unfamiliar to her. She picked out one of those books and looked at the publisher and saw that it was printed here in this village. There were authors right here in this village, this made her happy. She had always liked to write little stories, nothing big, just stories that she used to tell the pups back home. She took the book and sat at the desk and started reading. The stor

Most things are about detectives and all their boring stuff but something tells me to go through it because I might know a thing or two. I've opened almost all the books on the first shelf. Turns out detective books are not so bad. I also passed out my time by checking some of the murder novels on the shelve. One really caught my interest. Dying to call you by Elaine Viet. It's about a girl finding her sister's murderer and all that.

Seventy-five is clearly just the tip of the iceberg. On My Bedside Table Now The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova, and I am Legend by Richard Matheson.

I take one last look at myself until I strike a pose and say,"Perfect," I hear mom from downstairs telling me to hurry up, so I grab my book bag and put on my glasses and was about to leave my room until I remember my most important thing. I go to my book-shelf and pull out a book that reads, Gone Girl by Giliian Flynn on the front cover. I've always loved mysteries; I can't remember one day where I wasn't watching Criminal Minds or Goosebumps in my room.

It was her way of telling her to shut up because I was not her type. “That obvious, huh?” “Clyve is our guest at the cabin.” “Yeah, that’s right. I’m their guest.” “She never brought someone around. Except for Keene. So, Clyve, how’s your stay so far, honey?” “Great. Looking forward to exploring more of the secrets of this town.” My way of referring Westley as the town. I left them when they started babbling something I could not quite grab on. “You work here, Westley?” I sauntered to the fiction section, pulling out a book by a best-selling mystery/thriller author from the shelf.

Maybe being the son of a town hall leader puts your name a little above a pedestal. I suddenly remember the letters I’m taking with me. Its papers seem to have colored yellowish, signifying how much time has passed since it was first written. If people already knew of the location of the Kurim, then how did the waiting for its return turn into years? Do the people living here have settled enough for the life they have in this small town? If they have settled for the small life they have here, then what keeps my mother feeling caught up in the middle between herself and her own mind?

I figured Grey assumed when I had eagerly scooped up the remote, I would stream a romance movie, and not the latest release of a grisly double murder in a small town where no one saw it coming and everyone knew their neighbors. Or at least thought they did.

“There’s always something strange going on in this town.it has always been a bit weird. You’ll get used to it, with time.” I stopped walking. “No, Hannah. I do not think it’s as simple as you think. There’s more than meets the eye here. Human bones in abandoned buildings, animal traps in a less wild part of the forest with no warnings, little or no explanation about things, unnaturally big animals among others. I believe every town has its own strange things but at least they are explained. This one is a whole mystery. I don’t think this is normal.” “How many towns have you lived in?” Hannah asked. “You only lived in the city so you have no experience on how things work in small towns.” “Wh

I read the name, “The Predator in Saint Guillermo…” “What is it about?” “Why ask if you could read it?” The book was about the small town of Saint Guillermo. It was located at the top of Almadana mountain far of the North. It was depicted as “the ideal town of the North” for all was rich and plenty there. The houses were marbles, the shops were colored by festivity, there was a school and a big infirmary, and all people were educated, except one.
