Muddy Creek Rebecca Patrick-Howard

A haunted school. A national scandal. What is this small town hiding?




Seven people are dead. Muddy Creek's most famous resident is the suspect. But there's more than what meets the eye in this high-profile mystery. It's not your typical ghost story.

Historic Muddy Creek Elementary School has been abandoned for nearly twenty years. When it's partially destroyed, artist Taryn Magill is hired to recreate the old building through her paintings in hopes that it will be rebuilt as an Appalachian Heritage Center.

Popular children's author, and town recluse, Lucy Dawson has lived in Muddy Creek all her life. Most townspeople haven't seen her in years. When she's accused of murder, the small, mountain town is shaken to its core.

But Taryn thinks there's more to this story. There's something sinister about the old school that everyone seems to love. More than simply spooky and scary, it's tainted. The cries she hears down the decrepit hallways haunt her and the stench of decay is from more than age. Every town has its own haunted house, but this is different.

Taryn's convinced that Muddy Creek Elementary is hiding a terrible, awful secret-And that Lucy Dawson knows more than she's telling.

With the help of Miss Dixie, the camera that can see the past, and the county's now infamous criminal, Taryn aims to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late for everyone.

Book 7 in the Taryn's Camera paranormal mystery and haunted house series. The ghost story series follows Taryn Magill, an artist whose camera can see the past. Together, they work to solve the mysteries of the places they visit-sometimes with the extra help of the dead. The ghosts are only the beginning of what they find!
