PURGATORY CREEK: A Trask Brothers Murder Mystery Kindle Edition

A tangled Trask Brothers thriller you will want to read in one sitting.

He knew. There was only a scrap of red material, but he knew.

Don Trask, Lead Agent for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, had no doubt what it was. For five years he had locked away the haunting memories associated with his most difficult case, the unsolved disappearance of a small girl. But now those memories had burst from their vault, and the nightmares that came with them were back.

And then there was another, a young boy, and Trask knew who had done it. The same man who had taken the girl. The same man who still lived in the area of the kidnappings. The same man Trask had hounded and harassed five years before, never able to prove the man's guilt. Trask had nearly lost his job and his sanity in his fanatical pursuit then. There would be no stopping him now.

He will see that justice is served on Purgatory Creek.

Readers of John Sanford, Michael Connelly, Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Child and like authors will enjoy this fast-paced thriller.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chuck (C.E.) Nelson is an avid angler and author of three highly rated murder mystery series.

The Trask Brothers Murder Mystery Series follows the exploits of Dave and Don Trask, identical twin brothers in law enforcement, as they chase down killers across Minnesota and beyond. Like the author, the brothers love to fish, and you'll usually find a few fishing tidbits in each book.

The Danny Carlisle mystery series features Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent Danny Carlisle. Carlisle has appeared in Trask Brothers' books and is a headstrong, independent agent from Duluth, Minnesota, likely to get herself in more than a little bit of trouble.

Peter 'Doc' Hunter is the protagonist in Angry Sins. Doc is a BCA agent who is working on becoming a professional golfer when his day job doesn't get in the way. Doc is a good golfer - the author, not so much.

Nelson resides in Minnesota and has a cabin in Canada where he feeds his angling needs and ponders his next story.

More about Chuck and all of his books can be found at www.cenelsonbooks.com.

Thanks for reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Too many Demons Living in Purgatory Creek

Author C.E. Nelson, this is a great, quick moving police story!
Multiple storylines that cross and the creek-flooding paired with heat, high killer-humidity and lots of swamp bugs is a main character as well.
Don Trask, SA is a whole lot of John Wayne, Dwayne Johnson and Star Lord!
Pick this book.

C.E. Nelson writes the environment so powerful that you will feel like you need a cool shower, dark rooms with AC set to lower earth's core so you can survive the purgatory of hellish high humid heat paired with mosquitos so huge they created a new insect genus.
Thanks!

This stand-alone is not always easy to follow. Minor editing errors, no gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Intriguing storyline with plenty of twists and a surprise ending. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Flexible procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities and thought provoking dialogue.

No desire to re-read this story. I am interested in other works by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. This is my first buy this author but won’t be my last. Love the characters. So many but was never confused. It was a good mix. Story lines were well thought out and everything jelled. The ending was so good.

This was the first time I have ever read a book about crime. I would decide to stop reading at one point and the next I would decide to read a little more just to see what happens next and before I knew it, I read the whole thing! Very interesting stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a neighborhood!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022
Verified Purchase
There are a number of things going on in here, and they all seem to be connected. Children have been going missing for 5 years or so in the neighborhood, never to been seen again. Don Trask is positive that it's the work of Daniel Arnold. Admittedly, Don dogged the man years ago, as he was positive that Arnold was responsible for the disappearance of Libby Carlson.
Things keep getting tangled up throughout the neighborhood, and the book, until I don't know how the cops could keep anything straight!
Again, CE Nelson has written an excellent book, and I certainly did not know who was taking all of the children until the end. That's the sign of a good book for me....if I don't know "Who done it".

The Trask twins love to fish but they seldom find time to get together for that because one is a sheriff and the other is also in law enforcement but in a special unit where things are busy. Then Don gets framed and brother has to save him once again

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, unbelievable ending
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book, until near the end when something so unbelievable happened it made me want to give up on the story.
SPOILER ALERT!
When Don Track gets out of prison and heads home walking, he finds it very difficult to pass by all the bars. He's
an alcoholic, so barely manages to resist. However, then he heads to the home of his prime suspect in the murders and accepts a drink of whiskey from the man. It was of course, filled with a sedative. Ridiculous that he would take a drink of anything from a man he'd been watching and suspecting for years.
