Publisher's Summary

A totally addictive ghost story, crime story and thriller, told half in prose and half in verse, from two of the most exciting Aboriginal voices in Australia.

Nothing's been the same for Beth Teller since she died. Her dad, a detective, is the only one who can see and hear her - and he's drowning in grief. But now they have a mystery to solve together. Who is Isobel Catching, and what's her connection to the fire that killed a man? What happened to the people who haven't been seen since the fire? As Beth unravels the mystery, she finds a shocking story lurking beneath the surface of a small town and a friendship that lasts beyond one life and into another.

Told in two unforgettable voices, this gripping novel interweaves themes of grief, colonial history, violence, love and family.

Moving, well written and beautifully narrated

I really loved this book, from the mystery to the personal relationships. Can’t wait to read others by the same author/s. The narrator did a wonderful job as well, I was very moved.
Recommended for everyone who loves a crime novel told with a touch of the supernatural, with well developed personal relationships.

Worth a listen - unique, moving, essential

Excellent story and narration. Unique style. Informative, compelling, intriguing. Encapsulates the essence/concept of Dreaming, indigenous connection to place, family, ancestors, storytelling (at least, that's my perception as a non-indigenous Australian).

Sad, True & brilliantly written

A beautifully written and read book that breaks your heart as the story unfolds. An important yet often dismissed part of Australian history. Thank you for sharing your story and shining a light where we need to look.

Intriguing, sad, uplifting

This book takes you through many emotions. it is told with a strong voice that seems to want to entertain at the same time that it wants to impart knowledge. I loved it.
