A River Remembers
She’d lost them all – every living relative. Or had she?
Tegan McFarland returns to her ancestral home in tiny Piney Bluff, North Carolina, when her only remaining relative — the aunt who raised her — dies suddenly. Was she murdered? Tegan is determined to find out.
Before Tegan, a forensic entomologist specializing in insect evidence, can begin to deal with her aunt’s demise, her professional skills are needed for a second death – clearly a murder. She’s pulled in to investigate as the bodies pile up. Every clue seems to point in a different direction.
While investigating the deaths alongside the new county sheriff, Tegan finds family she didn’t know she had – and definitely doesn’t want. Are any of them responsible for her aunt’s death? Money, and the control of it, is a strong motive. Is blood thicker than cash flow, power, and prestige?
Old family feuds, hidden fortunes, and long-buried secrets collide until Tegan realizes the killer has been watching her all along. In her relentless pursuit of truth, did Tegan poke the wrong hornet’s nest and put herself in the crosshairs of a killer’s rifle?
Get A River Remembers — a thrilling small town southern murder mystery with twists, turns, and a confusing jumble of evidence and carefully guarded secrets — to find out!

A River Remembers Reviews
Fascinating story!
"Engaging, fascinating story that drew me in and kept me guessing about the murders throughout. Lots of clever misdirection along with twists and turns. A book worth reading!” (Goodreads review)
Looking forward to the next installment
"When forensic entomologist Tegan McFarland returns to her hometown to bury the aunt who raised her, local authorities seek her expertise in examining the body of a murdered woman well known to Tegan. Soon it is discovered that her aunt was also murdered, and a third killing is suspect. As Tegan collaborates with the new sheriff in town, long-held family secrets are unveiled, and she finds that her own life may be in danger.
This is the first installment of a new series by indie author Lee Clark. Clark’s atmospheric writing captures the essence of a small southern town as the mystery unfolds and secrets are revealed. The story is filled with red herrings and unexpected twists.
As the first book in a series, this book left me wanting to read more. I am looking forward to the next installment." (NetGalley review)
Another fantastic murder mystery from Lee Clark!
“I thought I had it all figured out, but once again, I was completely wrong. 😅 I loved all the twists, secrets, and small-town drama, and the forensic entomology aspect made this one especially interesting (if a little gross, as someone who hates bugs 😅). I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from this author!” (Goodreads review)
Spectacular series beginning!
"A River Remembers is the spectacular beginning of Lee Clark’s new series. It immediately pulls you in with its in-depth characters and complex plot. Lee keeps you guessing through the entire story at who the villain might be but, each time you think you’ve got it figured out, it seems you don’t!!
Family explosions, building explosions, and explosions of where, and in whom, to place your faith keep you eagerly turning every page to the end. Like every good series, as soon as you put down the book, you will immediately be ready to pick up the next!" (BookBub review)
Dynamite!
"Love these characters and the story is dynamite. Having Tegan be a Bug Specialist is quite a change from our usual protagonist type." Highly Recommended. (Amazon review)
