Publisher's Summary
Old loyalties and decades-long feuds rise to the surface in this stunning crime novel, set in a spectacular Australian landscape known for its jagged cliffs and hidden caves.
Detective Sergeant Mark Ariti has taken a few days' holiday in Broken Bay at precisely the wrong time. The small fishing town on South Australia's Limestone Coast is now the scene of a terrible tragedy.
Renowned cave-diver Mya Rennik has drowned while exploring a sinkhole on the land of wealthy farmer Frank Doyle. As the press descends, Mark's boss orders him to stay put and assist the police operation.
But when they retrieve Mya's body, a whole new mystery is opened up, around the disappearance of a young local woman twenty years before...
Suddenly Mark is diving deep into the town's history - and in particular the simmering rivalry between its two most prominent families, the Doyles and Sinclairs.
Then Cherie Swinson, a former actress, is murdered in the Sinclairs' old home - and Mark is left wondering which is more dangerous: Broken Bay's hidden subterranean world or the secretive town above it...

My favourite Mark Ariti book yet!
Entertaining and witty, fun and harrowing, vivid and endearing. Love these books for the authentic, respectful and entertaining picture they paint of small town Australia. some of the dialogue and statements made me laugh out loud - best one yet of the series. And the narrator just seems to get better and better.

Good Aussie story
when a story is set in rural Aus, the place will always be one of the characters in the story. Therefore it has to develop at the appropriate pace. This is a great example of the art.

Good Australian mystery
well written characters. likeable story. good layers of mystery. there was a little bit where the stories characters go from present to past that didn't segue well. I loved listening to the internal thoughts of the policeman evaluating interviews.

Another thriller
I really enjoyed this story and the reading performance. So much so I accidentally missed my turn off listening to the last 45 min! Great job, Marg. ❤️❤️ the characters are great (though more Jagdeep in the next one please) and the whodunnit was well-crafted. Highly recommended

What a ripper
I loved this. The opening chapters were incredibly suspenseful without there being excessive violence. Not only is Broken Bay a great mystery, Henry Nixon renders Hickey’s tale beautifully. Bravo.

Sick of Americanisms!
This is only one of two problems I have.
The other, and if I am wrong please enlighten me, we do not have crows in Australia. They are all Ravens.
