Story
The first drops start to fall when Quinn spies the body. With no reception and nothing but an empty road for miles, does she stop to help or keep driving to safety? Back at the iconic country pub where Quinn works, Andrea is sandbagging the place in preparation for heavy rains. Alone with her sleeping son in the back room, she reluctantly lets a biker in to wait out the storm. Out on the wet roads, tensions arise among four backpackers on their way to Darwin. They haven’t prepared for this kind of weather and the flooding isn’t the only threat on the horizon.

Gemma Guillory has lived in Rainier her entire life. She knows the tiny town's ins and outs like the back of her hand, the people like they are her family, their quirks as if they were her own. She knows her once-charming town is now remembered for one reason, and one reason only. That three innocent people died.

Six years later, recently divorced historian Rose McHugh leaves the city to start a new life in the Highlands and finds a roll of film buried in her back garden. On it are photos of the missing woman. Against the advice of an enigmatic detective, she uses her powers of persuasion and her knack for deciphering clues to pursue the case. As Rose searches through tangled secrets and hidden places haunted by the past, she realizes there is a killer at large. As she makes new friends, and dangerous enemies, Rose closes in on a suspect—but will she solve the mystery too late to save herself?

Enjoyable plot, easy to digest, warm narrator.
Listened in 2 days: very digestible, mood-evoking mystery with likeable characters (especially Bob, my personal favourite) and sensitivity to cultural issues. Took some unexpected angles that kept the plot interesting. Will read author again. Narrating was warm and easy to listen to.

Terrible
The monotone Hautey Tautey accent along with the helpless female as the main character was like finger nails on a blackboard. The author managed to get in a gay son, covid, aboriginals & climate change. I hope I can return it. Terrible all round.

I really loved this book. It was really interesting and very hard to put down. As I absolutely love the Crime stories, this one was quite outstanding for me. I can’t wait to get into more stories just like this one. I would also recommend this title to others.

A slog to get through.
The blurb made it seem like this was an exciting mystery murder thriller.
It’s not.
The main character references Miss Marple and that’s pretty much what this is. Bumbling female wannabe sleuth sticks her nose in everyone’s business and drives around a lot.
Not my cup of tea.

I liked this Book lots. It was a good story with a happy ending. Well written, well read.
I have a request for Autable please. Could you please possibly make the stars a little bit bigger please, I use a Head Pointer to type with and the Stars to show how much people liked the Books are very small. I love Autobole.

Very confused book
Don't bother if you are into Margaret Hickey, Chris Hammer, Jane Harper etc
It is a little mystery, a lot cliche, the protagonist is annoying and then the ghosts come into the story.
Unfortunately was too far into it to return.
