Fabulous all the way to the startling conclusion!

In the small town of Goose Bend, Pennsylvania, people don't forget, especially something as sensational as 12-year-old Jacob Gillis burning down the town. Nineteen years later, Jacob returns hoping for redemption but instead finds himself enmeshed in a murder investigation. The prosecutor, taking advantage of Jacob's involvement with the victim's sister-in-law threatens Jacob with loss of career and reputation if he doesn't play by his rules. Only by outwitting the prosecutor can Jacob save his future.

Unringing the Bell is a wonderful story with many twists and turns. Just when you think you've figured it out, the plot moves in a whole other direction!

"This was a fabulous story, beginning to end, well written, many surprises, even to the end. The writing was captivating, so good to read an author that gives the characters so many complex parts. I loved it!"

I thoroughly enjoyed Judy Higgins 1st book in her Bucks County series. The characters were interesting, the plot made sense, and I never saw the ending coming. She is a wonderful writer with lots of plots up her sleeve, and I can’t wait to read the second book in the series. I loved her very first book The Lady as it was so well written, but more importantly, you cared about the characters.

This stand-alone has a surprise ending. There are formatting errors which occasionally make it difficult to follow. No graphic violence or drag-you-down drama.

Intriguing storyline that keeps the reader guessing. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking dialogue.

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

This story takes place primarily in a small town populated with mostly nice, ordinary folks. This feels as though it wants to be a police procedural, although it’s quite the cozy. Language is clean with a few exceptions, there is no gory violence, and no insta-love or sex.
Gossip sessions, reminiscing, and ambling background stories often slow the story. The pace picks up as the mystery begins to be resolved, and characters travel to cities in order to investigate.
The characters are well-drawn, but with the usual small town stereotypes amongst the secondary characters. The world-traveling MC is likable as are members of his family, including his godfather who is a Pennsylvania State Police detective.
The beginnings of a romance feels uncomfortable from MC’s POV, because he has prickly history with the woman, who also happens to be related to the possible murderer.
The ending is nicely done with all threads tied off.
