Summary

 Darwin, Summer, 1963.

The humidity sat heavy and thick over the town as Senior Constable Ned Potter looked down at a body that had been dragged from the shallow marshland. He didn't need a coroner to tell him this was a bad death. He didn't know then that this was only the first. Or that he was about to risk everything looking for answers.

Late one night, Charlotte Clark drove the long way home, thinking about how stuck she felt, a 23-year-old housewife, married to a cowboy who wasn't who she thought he was. The days ahead felt suffocating, living in a town where she was supposed to keep herself nice and wait for her husband to get home from the pub. Charlotte stopped the car, stepped out to breathe in the night air and looked out over the water to the tangled mangroves. She never heard a sound before the hand was around her mouth.

Both Charlotte and Ned are about to learn that the world they live in is full of secrets and that it takes courage to fight for what is right. But there are people who will do anything to protect themselves and sometimes courage is not enough to keep you safe.

Slow to start but worth the effort. It’s quintessentially Australian with fully developed characters and alive with the smell of nature. Very impressed with the depth of characters and a plot both (sadly) realistic and full. Will look out for this author again. Narration is perfect for me. Easy to listen to, character delineation sometimes confusing - but all in all easy enough to follow. Will also look out for him again also. I enjoy his dulcet tones.

Very Australian

Narration was on point! I thoroughly loved the story, the attention to detail, though not too much so that it lost me. My only disappointment was that there was no finish and reconciliation of Charlotte with her baby and the father of her son. Highly recommend this book!

Couldn't put it down!

Gritty, dark, and an extremely expressive, hard to pause, a very Australian narrative of a mot so distant past, and a great yarn

Excellent Australian noir

Hard to get into for the first quarter of the book as the author develops the characters. However, if you persist it becomes a brilliant story that I couldn’t stop listening to as I needed to know how the story ends. Great narrator.

Captivating
