Publisher Description
She might be broken, but he’s the one who needs rescuing.
Lacey Carmichael is the daughter of a rich, influential family, and has led a sheltered life. Until she witnesses a horrific crime while working as a junior constable and decides to leave her job and simplify her life by travelling around Tasmania in her Kombi van. But her vehicle breaks down, and she becomes stranded in a tiny backwater town.
Detective Nico Favreau approaches to offer his help, but in the dark Lacey mistakes him for a mugger and uses her Judo skills to incapacitate him. Ending up on the ground, Nico’s ego takes a beating, but when the sight of the blood on his face, triggers flashbacks for Lacey, he takes it on himself to offer her a place to stay.
But this sleepy little township is not all it seems and on an early morning walk, Lacey responds to a call for help, only to find a woman unconscious, suffering stab wounds to her chest, lying in her front yard. But there is nothing Lacey can do to save the woman, and Lacey is now caught up in a murder investigation.
A suspected serial killer is haunting the Tasmanian coastline, and Nico thinks the dead girl might be another of his victims. Stuck in Boat Harbour, and against her wishes, Lacey is drawn deeper into the conspiracy and lies that only a small town can hold. When she becomes the next target of the killer, Nico must do everything in his power and put his job on the line to save her.

A good read
What an excellent start to the author's new romantic mystery series set in Tasmania.
After being involved in an horrific crime, Lacey Carmichael has taken a year's medical leave as a police constable in Melbourne. Travelling in her camping van she's reached Tasmania, her van breaks down in the backwater town of Boat Harbour. Detective Nico Favreau discovers Lacey in a parking area and suggests, as there's information of a serial killer on the island, she'll be safer to park on his land while waiting for her van to be repaired. One morning while walking Nico’s dog, Lacey is alerted by the distressed calls of an elderly neighbour and discovers a young woman brutally stabbed. Nico leads the police investigation and everyone in the small town is a suspect, including Lacey.
Hopefully more books will follow featuring Nico's criminal investigations, also there's the ongoing search for the serial killer - I'm looking forward to book 2.
