The Code of the Hills by Nancy Allen Book Summary

To uncover the truth, she'll have to break the code of the hills …

In the Missouri Ozarks, some things aren't talked about … even abuse. But prosecutor Elsie Arnold is determined to change that.

When she is assigned to prosecute a high-profile incest case in which a father is accused of abusing his three young daughters, Elsie is ready to become the Ozarks' avenging angel.

But as Elsie sinks her teeth into the case, everything begins to turn sour. The star witness goes missing; the girls refuse to talk about their father, who terrorizes the courtroom from the moment he enters; and Elsie begins to suspect that their tough-as-nails mother has ulterior motives. To make matters worse, Elsie receives gruesome threats from local extremists, warning her to mind her own business.

While Elsie swears not to let a sex offender walk, she realizes the odds—and maybe the town—are against her, and her life begins to crumble. But amidst all of the conflict, the safety of three young girls hangs in the balance ...

A powerful debut, with the haunting atmosphere of Winter's Bone and the page-turning suspense of Alafair Burke's thrillers.

Great book. Couldn't put it down. Loved it.

Great read!. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Couldn’t put the book down and had it finished in 48 hours. While the case may be sad, the characters keep the book upbeat. You can tell the author has experienced the ins and outs of what she wrote about. She uses great detail to allow the reader to feel as if they are in Barton County, MO. Can’t wait for the second one!

Review. Good read, kept my interest!

The code of the hills. While at times this story is painful to read, it is never the less, one that needed to be written. Nancy Allen has combined her legal background with a compassionate attitude. The shocking evil that can occur within a family is a reminder to everyone that our children are to be protected and believed.

Great book. Amazin mystery story the I read over these years!

Extremely captivating. Couldn't put it down! I wanted to read it all night long! I didn't get much sleep in the last 24 hrs because I wanted to keep reading!

Great Fast Read. Enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Recommend for a quick entertaining read!

The Code of the Hills. I can say that this is the best book ever. For some reasons, I can hear Nancy Allen's talking in my head whenever I start reading lol.

The Code of the Hills. Gripping story!

Read this book immediately. The Code of the Hills is rich with Ozark culture--the good and the bad. The characters in this book are well developed and believable. Elsie is a beautifully written character who embodies a strong woman but also faces insecurities. She is lively and I rooted for her throughout the book. The villains in this book are so well developed that you will end up hating them! The mystery is fantastic and the book is a page turner. Clear your schedule, once you start this book you won't put it down until the last page is turned.

Good read. The author did a good job of weaving the plot and the suspense.

Page-turner!!!!. This book was one of the best books I've ever read. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it. If u like mysteries, it's a must-read. Aewsome!!!!!!!

Solid story. I enjoyed reading this book although it has to be said that the ending was very anti climatic for my taste. I enjoyed the main characters story even with her flaws but really what bothered me was the ending..not to mention..spoiler alert: at the end the author never makes a reference to the fact it was a blessing in disguise for the prosecutor's evidence to be accidentally destroyed (unrealistic as it is) when you learn at the end the evidence was planted anyway. I just felt like it was one sentence the author could have thrown In there bc after all that would have ruined her whole case even after a conviction. Not a big deal but the editor also left a few grammatical errors. But not bad for a book I bought for $2.99!

Awesome. Elsie Arnold is a top notch prosecutor with a difficult case of child sex abuse. The locale and characters are Ozarks originals. A compelling thriller that barrels its way to a fascinating ending. Looking forward to another novel from Nancy Allen.

Code of the hills. Great read with interesting full characters.

Captivating. I liked the authors second book so much, I looked for others and did not realize I read them out of order. Well written and hard to put down. Highly recommended!

The Code of the Hills. Excellent book. Had me captivated from the first page to the last. So well written: intelligent, emotionally compelling and realistic. I will be recommending this to all of my friends. Looking forward to Nancy Allen's next novel. Patricia Teel

The Code of the Hills. I loved this book. Great characters with fast pace!

Elsie. The book is so descriptive in the reality of a sinister world! And Elsie is masterful yet very human! Couldn't put the book down! I want to marry Elsie.
