A loving husband lost to devastating summer floods. A teenage girl injured during a robbery. Two seemingly unconnected cases that will push a detective to the brink. An atmospheric, compelling new voice in Australian crime fiction. (…more)

Another good Australian read, although didn't feel the Australianess (new word!) as much as in other books

Next up . . . A comforting return to some outback noir.

November reads part 2
Life as a retiree!
Both audiobooks were superb 👌
There was one other book, a WWI diary by a Tassie soldier. An interesting counterpoint to the Palin diary.

Two books in a row! Woohoo!!🙌 First time I‘ve finished consecutive books in months😊 Another brilliant debut Aussie author, I‘m glad Booktopia was hyping them both. I enjoyed this one more than the last, maybe coz this was police based? Or maybe the setting was more like Sydney🤔Either way, I‘m happy to have read another book. It gripped me from the start with a pregnant cop with two cases that end up linked. Highly recommend #BookspinBingo

Next up(I‘m forever hopeful)is another debut Aussie crime writer. A very pregnant cop has been given two cases in her last week, an armed robbery & a review of a man drowned in rising river water. This is also set in NSW but it‘s the Northern Rivers region this time, an area that was pummeled by the summer rains & floods. And just because the weather gods hate us, a polar system is now hitting us with freezing temps & 60km winds. Yay. Stay warm!🌬

CarolynM Cold and wet here too🌧☔️ Keep warm😘 3y
