Back to Lazarus by Judy K. Walker Book Summary

She’s investigating a suspicious prison suicide. Someone’s determined to hide the truth… North Florida, 2004. Private Investigator Sydney Brennan cut ties with her nearest and dearest long ago and keeps her past close to her vest. But it’s hard not to reflect on her own estranged family when a woman hires her to look into her father’s prison-cell suicide. Since the dead man served over twenty years for murdering his wife, Sydney suspects it wasn’t guilt that killed him. What other sins does her client’s family hide? Sydney’s client isn’t the only one concealing secrets. As Sydney uncovers shady evidence and incomplete reports, the determined PI makes enemies of those who want their misdeeds to stay buried. And though she barely survives a brutal attack, she refuses to allow a violent murderer to remain free. Can Sydney cut through the lies and expose the coverup before she meets a deadly fate?

The reading order is: 1) Back to Lazarus 2) Secrets in Stockbridge 3) The Perils of Panacea 4) No Safe Winterport 5) Braving the Boneyard 6) River Bound 7) Grave Truth 8) Memory Lane From the Back Cover: *When I was six years old, my father killed my mother. He beat and choked her to death. I'm told that he was found hanging from a homemade noose in his cell. I want to know why he waited so long to do it.* Sydney Brennan isn't sure how to answer her client's question, short of holding a séance, and the Tallahassee detective has some questions of her own. Why does Noel Thomas remember so little about her childhood? Why is she delving into her father's suicide now? And, most importantly, why is Noel lying to her? Crisscrossing the Florida Panhandle to reconstruct the tragic Thomas family history, Sydney stumbles across a link between the decades-old violence and a present-day web of deceit and corruption. To understand the connection, Sydney must go Back to Lazarus, back to the town where Noel's beautiful but troubled mother began her inevitable descent over twenty years ago. But by following in the footsteps of the murdered woman, does Sydney risk sharing her fate? Rooted in bars and back roads and Panhandle prisons, forgotten towns and forgotten people, at its heart Back to Lazarus is about stories: the stories people tell us, the stories we tell ourselves, and what happens when we realize it's all a lie.

Worth reading. When I read a good book on this site I usually give it a 4 rating. This was my first 5 !

Back to Lazarus. The sign, to me, that I've read a good book is that I can't put it down. The second one is that I don't want it to end. Back to Lazarus is one of those books. I look forward to reading another book from Judy Walker!

Back to Lazarus. This book was well written, moving the story along at a good clip. The protagonist was refreshingly different from the usual, predictable, apologizing self-doubting woman, and the other characters weren't the predictable doubters.

Back to Lazarus. WOW! Really terrific read! Complex characters with complex relationships, twisting mystery and dual familial problems of the heroine and her client....wow! Kudos for proper grammar (local vernacular aside), punctuation, etc. So many independents rely only on spellcheck, resulting in several blatant errors, detracting from the joy of the read. Only found a couple of missing articles in yours.

Must read more!!. Just finished Back to Lazarus and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading the next one. Good twists and turns kept it interesting and it was a fun read.

Great Story!. Read this book in one sitting! Just couldn’t put it down. Can't wait to spend time reading the next one!

All the right stuff. I must admit this book did not grab me at the beginning but after the first few chapters, I was hooked. Thanks for the laughs, omg's, rapid heartbeats and a winning story!

Back to Lazarus. Good read. Stayed up too late finishing it!

Back to Lazarus. This was a haunting cold case with interesting characters wit and suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Good development. I thought this book was really well done. You kinda figure out who the killer is about 2/3 of the way through but you’re not sure why. So there’s no mind-boggling plot twist at the end but there’s still a climax scene, at which point everything is revealed, and ultimately I was very satisfied with the conclusion. I read legal & crime novels pretty much constantly and I’d definitely read more from this author.

Back to Lazarus. Good read. I’d recommend it to anyone liking a good mystery.

Surprisingly good!. I downloaded this book one day when a few friends and I were trading book sites. The sample was crisp and fast paced - altogether a prospective enjoyable vacation read. Didn’t finish it over my vacation but had to keep reading back at home. I will look for this author again!

BACK to Lazarus. this girl is great, bring on the next one.

Fun read. Give it a read and enjoy!

Back to Lazarus. I couldn't put this one down. Read it in a day. Sydney Brennan is just the right mix of smarts and sass. Will definitely be reading more!

Back To Lazarus. Just discovered my new favorite author. When this happens I drop everything to devote time to read everything they write. This has it all..., mystery, murder, hints of romance, and well, explore for yourself.

Lazarus. Good read. Exciting. Loved the main characters

Great beginning. The synopsis caught my eye and I'm glad I downloaded this. An engaging and entertaining read.

Mir. I enjoyed reading this author

Back to Lazarus. Great book. Characters were so believable I felt I knew them. Really related to Sydney. I read this book at intervals in waiting rooms and always looked forward to getting back to it. Plan to read another Sydney book right away.

Surprisingly well done indie book. Back to Lazarus is a nicely done story with many layers. With intrigue and well developed characters it kept me entertained to the very end. If you like mysteries and action, you won't go wrong with this entertaining book.

Back to Lazarus. Like her writing style

Back to Lazuras. Great book fast read and will read more by this author. Thanks!

Completely awesome. Worth the read. Great writing.

Loved this book. Well written, intense - great character development. Not what you expect. I couldn’t stop reading. Highly recommend.

Loved "Lazarus". Thoroughly enjoy the smart, witty, gallant, female perspective that kept drawing me into the story! So good! Thank you!!

Back To Lazarus. I read A LOT, and this definitely was one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time.

Great read. To be honest I had a hard time getting into this book. I read a few chapters, put it down and read a few other books, came back again... I'm glad I stuck with it! It really started getting good about midway through, and I enjoyed it. Well written, fleshed out characters. Worth the read.

Great read. Storyline was really good - you definitely couldn't wait to get to the next page because something big was slowly unraveling and you wanted to get to it as soon as possible! I will read more Sydney Brennan stories for sure!

Interesting. Amazing mystery/suspense story. Sydney is a detective hired to find out why a prisoner hung himself, twenty four years after he killed his wife. As she gets closer to the truth is her life in danger as well? Great read
