Publisher's Summary

Two bodies. One long hot summer. A town that will never be the same.

When Adam Lawson’s wrecked car is found a kilometre from Daisy Baker’s body, the whole town assumes it’s an open-and-shut case. But Jesse Redpath isn’t from Canticle Creek. Where she comes from, the truth often hides in plain sight, but only if you know where to look.

When Jesse starts to ask awkward questions, she uncovers a town full of contradictions and a cast of characters with dark pasts, secrets to hide and even more to lose.

As the temperature soars, and the ground bakes, the wilderness surrounding Canticle Creek becomes a powderkeg waiting to explode.

All it needs is one spark.

Australian murder at its best

I came at the book with trepidation but it turned out to be a great murder mystery, well told. It was impossible to guess the ending. Well worth a read.

Not your average Australian Murder Mystery

Wow...I am a new fan of Adrian Hyland. Great Australian story coming from a different angle.
Love the protagonist being a woman, and how she is such a strong female role.
I thought Author Adrian was a female (sorry about that), but the character Jess was developed to perfection, I just presumed the author was a woman.
The description of the environment made it so easy to build a picture and visualise in my minds eye. It would make a great TV series/movie.
I'm now listening to Adrian Hyland's Wiregrass, which is shaping up to be just as good.
Hope there is another novel in this series soon!!!

Very Enjoyable

I struggled to get into it at first, but as the story and characters develop it turns into a good yarn. Give it a go
