About this listen

Detective Inspector Daniel Clement is back in Broome, the tropical town where he grew up, licking his wounds from a busted marriage and struggling to be impressed by his new team of small-town, inexperienced cops.

But stagnation and lethargy soon give way to a case with urgent purpose. On the edge of the desert, a man is found dead in a crocodile-infested watering hole. And he is only the first. The connection between the victims is elusive, but Clement must pursue it as a decades-old mystery begins to unravel and a monster cyclone brews on the horizon.

It was great to listen to a story set in my home state of Western Australia. I have been to Broome so could picture the setting. Also great to hear a strong Aussie accent and the use of slang in the tale.

Story flowed well with a few twists along the way.

Will look for more books by this writer

Very enjoyable book

I enjoyed this story and found it interesting. For me though, there were too many characters and i'm sure the narrator had trouble keeping up the accents and vocal nuances of everyone. There were times when I had to replay certain parts to get myself straight.

A good listen.
