What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?
One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins, teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins, the prosecuting attorney for Raythune County, West Virginia. Carla was shocked and horrified by what she saw, but after a few days, she begins to recover enough to believe that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job. After all, what better way to repair their fragile, damaged relationship? But could Carla also end up doing more harm than good - in fact, putting her own life in danger?
In this powerful, intricate debut from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Julia Keller, a mother and a daughter try to do right by a town and each other before it’s too late.

Now for the negatives. Belle Elkins was not a very likable main character and her daughter was even less so. The ending did not ring true either. it seemed almost as if she decided to redirect the narrative at the last moment. Hopefully Julia Keller's characters will become better as she continues the series. Though I was somewhat disappointed by this selection I will probably give the next book in the series a shot.
Liked it; but...

Any additional comments?
It's slow to start in action after the killing, but all the information that takes so long to get across is necessary to really understand the characters and from where they come. Very insightful. Again not as action packed as I thought it would be but still a good read.Accurate tale of small southern towns

If you could sum up A Killing in the Hills in three words, what would they be?
Beautifully written stunner.What was one of the most memorable moments of A Killing in the Hills?
The last twist.What about Shannon McManus’s performance did you like?
When I started the book, I thought she sounded too young, but after the first chapter I realized I was wrong. She did a great job defining the characters and her voice is very pleasing to the ear.Any additional comments?
I purchased the first three books and forgot I had them. Starting the series was like finding a precious gem.Great Book

P.S. I enjoyed the prose so much that I bought a Kindle copy of the book so that I could re-read certain passages. It really doesn't get much better than this!
A wonderful treat!
