About this listen
Sydney is full of climate refugees. Food and water insecurity have created tension. There is poverty, suspicion and cultural disharmony. A world of have and have nots.
In this environment a 5 year old girl from the Floodline, Casey, disappears.
Then the body of an auditor from a development company is found burnt in a car on the site where Casey disappeared. Are they related?
As the next cyclone, bigger than the last, approaches detective Sadiya Azad and her partner, Findlay fight the clock, the apathy of the police force, and the suspicion of the residents of the floodline to locate Casey.
Moving from the inundated streets and crumbling buildings of the Floodline to the refugee camps on the outskirts of the city and the elegant, air-conditioned homes of the wealthy, Landfall is both a crime thriller and a terrifying vision of the future that is bearing down on us.

Detective Story Set in a Climate Altered Future
The world of the future Bradley creates where climate change is savaging society is really interesting. Characters are well developed eg our protagonist detective struggles to do her job while caring for an elderly father with alzheimer's disease. Essentially the narrative is a detective story which is OK but not my favourite genre.

Realistic near-future
I really loved everything about this book. It could be set in any modern western nation, or city, but it happens to be Sydney, where I am from. I recognised the place names and suburbs, but it was discordant. Not as it is right now, but how it will be sooner rather than later. It was a city of a near-future that is totally and scarily believable. Yet it's only the backdrop to a story of people being people. Finding a missing child is the priority, but life is complicated. It spans a myriad of perspectives, and I liked that the main protagonist was not white Anglo-Saxon but someone far more interesting. The narration was perfect. I highly recommend it.
