The Shifting Landscape
The Shifting Landscape: An Alex Clayton Mystery | Katherine Kovacic
4 posts | 3 read
Art dealer Alex Clayton travels to Victoria's Western District to value the McMillan family's collection. At their historic sheep station, she finds an important and previously unknown colonial painting - and a family fraught with tension. There are arguments about the future of the property and its place in an ancient and highly significant indigenous landscape. When the family patriarch dies under mysterious circumstances and the painting is stolen, Alex decides to leave; then a toddler disappears and Alex's faithful dog Hogarth goes missing. With fears rising for the safety of both child and hound, Alex and her best friend John, who has been drawn into the mystery, join searchers scouring the countryside. But her attempts to unravel the McMillan family secrets have put Alex in danger, and she's not the only one. Will the killer claim another victim? Or will the landscape reveal its mysteries to Alex in time?

How do you go with reading series? Or keeping up with series? I think I‘m better at it than I give myself for - but once I‘ve lost the thread of the story, I find it really hard to go back...

These are all book 3 - and I‘ve read all but two of them!

julesG I tend to just dive into the next book of a series. In most cases some of the previous plot is summarised. Or it'll resurface in my memory while reading the first few chapters 4y
Crazeedi Like @julesG says. Series are my absolute favorite reads. Even if I've had a long break, I just go on to the next and details usually comes back. I really never reread 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I‘ve been burned by authors with inconsistent publishing schedules. Most details come back but sometimes I‘ve just lost interest or motivation to continue. 4y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Crazeedi, I love a reread - but often rereading a whole series seems like such a mammoth task that I only think about it 😉 4y
candority I try to wait until a whole series is published before I start reading it, so I can read them all back to back. When I can‘t resist (or when I don‘t even realize that it‘s going to be a series), I find summaries of the previous book online and refresh my memory before jumping into the new one. 4y
julesG Yeah. That can be a problem. *cough*Rothfuss*cough* 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @candority, a long running series that I‘ve struggled to get back into is The Dresden Files - a whole bunch were already published when I started - & then it was a book a year and then radio silence for 5 and then 2 books in the same year. I know I read the last book - but the first few chapters in the new book referred back to all sorts of things I had no memory of. in this case reviews didn‘t help - but they often would. Thanks for your advice. 4y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I‘ve never read him because he seemed like he‘d take forever to release the next book. At this point - I probably won‘t read him. I‘ve been waiting since 2003 for Isobelle Carmody to release the final Legendsong book. I only remember the plot outline at this point - but refuse to reread until I see the published book - but even then - it‘s been so long... do I still care? 4y

Art dealer Alex Clayton and her fantastic partner Hogarth the Wolfhound are back for another art mystery. This time they travel to a historic sheep station in Western Victoria to value all the artwork but things don't go according to plan ⭐⭐⭐ Still love Hogarth so much 😊🐕💕

I love this series! It combines art with the history of Australia - in particular how Colonial/White Australia has impacted not only on the land but also the Aboriginal people. The main story involves Alex coming to a wealthy farming household to value some painting but before you know it - the patriarch is dead, a toddler goes missing as does the most valuable painting... all in all an excellent mystery! Can‘t wait for #4!
