‘Suspenseful, exciting, atmospheric rural crime; a riveting debut.’ - Michaela Lobb, Sisters in Crime Australia
What will they risk for answers?
Picturesque Daylesford has a darker side. Melbourne writer Georgie Harvey heads to the mineral springs region in central Victoria to look for a missing farmer, and soon links the woman’s disappearance with the unsolved mystery surrounding her husband.
Meanwhile, maverick police officer and solo dad John Franklin is working a case that’s a step up from Daylesford’s usual soft crime: a stalker targeting single mothers.
Georgie’s investigation stirs up long-buried secrets, and attracts enemies. When she reports the missing person to local cops, sparks fly between her and Franklin.
Has he dismissed the writer too quickly? And what will the truth cost?

Tell Me Why
Georgie Harvey doesn’t want trouble. She just wants to write and have a little fun. But when her elderly neighbor asks her to help locate a friend who has suddenly become unavailable, she eventually agrees to do some research. Her research takes her far from home where she comes to know the missing woman, her late husband, and many other colorful characters. She also digs deeper than some people would like into the disappearance and finds herself in a predicament. Will she persevere?
The story interested me and the characters and story amused me enough to read to the end though the last couple of chapters seemed more of a romance novel than a mystery. Maybe they are building up to why the series will continue.
Not a Fan
Read this all the way through. Characters seem to be self absorbed with themselves. Don’t have common sense to avoid danger and are risk takers. I don’t mind stories that interject a few curse words, but the “F” word was used way too often. It killed the story line entirely for me.
Tell Me Why
An intriguing, fast paced story. It kept me reading til the wee hours. I loved the characters, and their complexities. The pull of a new attraction versus the love of a steady partner and mate is a familiar one. Hopefully to be resolved soon. I’m ready for the next episode. Would highly recommend this book.
