About this listen

 When Audrey Kepler inherits an abandoned homestead in rural Queensland, she jumps at the chance to escape her loveless existence in the city and make a fresh start. In a dusty back room of the old house, she discovers the crumbling photo of a handsome World War Two medic – Samuel Riordan, the homestead’s former occupant – and soon finds herself becoming obsessed with him. But as Audrey digs deeper into Samuel’s story, she discovers he was accused of bashing to death a young woman on his return from the war in 1946. When she learns about other unexplained deaths in recent years – one of them a young woman with injuries echoing those of the first victim – she begins to suspect that the killer is still very much alive. And now Audrey, thanks to her need to uncover the past, has provided him with good reason to want to kill again.©2013 Anna Romer (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Refreshing to listen to (for me) a new author, great story and wonderful narration. Highly recommend this Australian author. The story is well laced together and keeps the listener guessing. Loved the style and the language. Eloise Oxer handles the varied characters well and as one other listener commented, the children sound like kids not cutesy sickly sweet cartoon characters.

Set in the heart of the Scenic Rim where I moved to recently I felt a true connection to the main character's love for the locals here. I loved identifying the history and loving nature of this areas people. Just read this book and fall in love too.
