Publisher's Summary

The new outback mystery from Australia’s authentic and beloved voice of the bush.  

When aspiring actress Charlie Carver learns that her cousin Annabelle has died, she immediately leaves Melbourne to fly home to the remote family roadhouse east of Alice Springs. It has been years since her last visit, and her relationship with her mother, Molly, is strained, but Charlie is determined to patch up their differences. 

The reunion, however, is interrupted when Molly suffers a heart attack. With her mother airlifted out for life-saving surgery, Charlie is left to take the reins of the struggling family business, alongside friends old and new, including the captivating local stockman Mike.  

The authorities declare Annabelle to have taken her own life, but when a woman’s body turns up at an abandoned mine site, Charlie begins to wonder what else is being covered up and why.   

Beginning a search for the truth, a perilous bush chase unfolds that threatens her own life, causing Charlie to wonder whether she ever knew Annabelle at all....

Aussie Out back

The story was believable and engaging. I could imagine the setting in the Australian Out back.
