Welcome to Case Closed, the podcast for true crime fans featuring more than just true crime stories.

Whether it's a thriller, a mystery, or a crime, either true or imagined, case closed shares

stories full of vibrant characters, engrossing details, daring twists, and sweeping suspense.

Our next season is about to launch, and we can't wait to share this one with you.

To kick off the year, we'll be serializing Haley Scrivener's Dirt Creek,

a small town mystery with sharp-edged tempers, accidents waiting to happen, and dark

inheritances. You won't want to miss this one. Who's lying about what happened at Dirt Creek?

When 12-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small

town in rural Australia, the community is thrown into a maelstrom of suspicion and grief. As

Detective Sergeant Sarah Michaels arrives in town during the hottest spring in decades and begins

her investigation, Esther's tenacious best friend, Ronnie, is determined to find Esther and bring her home.

When school friend Lewis tells Ronnie that he saw Esther with a strange man at the creek the afternoon she went missing,

Ronnie feels she is one step closer to finding her.

But why is Lewis refusing to speak to the police?

And who else is lying about how much they know about what has happened to Esther? Punctuated by a Greek chorus, which gives voice to the

remaining children of the small dying town, this novel explores the ties that bind, what we try and

leave behind us, and what we can never outrun, while never losing

sight of the question of what happened to Esther and what her loss does to a whole town.

We'll release two new episodes every week beginning January 21st. Make sure to subscribe to
