About this listen
On the first day of summer in 1993, two strangers arrive in the town of Cedar Valley.
One is a calm looking man in a brown suit. He makes his way down the main street and walks directly to Cedar Valley Curios & Old Wares, sitting down on the footpath, where he leans silently against the big glass window for hours.
The other is 21-year-old Benny Miller. Fresh out of university, Benny has come to Cedar Valley in search of information about her mother, Vivian, who has recently died. Vivian's mysterious old friend, Odette Fisher, has offered Benny her modest pale green cottage for as long as she wants it.
Is there any connection between the man on the pavement and Benny's quest to learn more about her mother? Holly Throsby is the perfect guide as Cedar Valley and its inhabitants slowly reveal their secrets.

Good and bad
Simple writing style, well read in Taylor-Neilson’s quintessentially Aussie voice. Enjoyed the meandering story and the building intrigue but disappointed in the abrupt, underwhelming conclusion. Also found the authors constant and repeated use of characters full names (and often occupation) irritating, juvenile and completely unnecessary. Probably wouldn’t recommend it.

Loved it
The narrator was excellent and the story kept me enthralled through the whole book and listened in record time.

Love!!!
Another beautifully descriptive story where you are transported to the small town and immersed in her characters. Cedar Valley will become a place to want to visit and its inhabitants are people you'll wish you knew ❤

I loved it... them.. the town.. the dead guy
Holly Throsby just... more please.
Best bit.. all of it.
Loved the narrator. I'm off to find more of Jaimee Taylor-Nielson. The narration can be make or break for me. Recommended.

A bit dull
Just found the story line a bit boring and struggled to get engaged. Hung on hoping something interesting would happen but it never did.

Too simplistic
I enjoyed Holly's Goodwood so looked forward to this one. I found the writing quite annoyingly simple and was often reminded of the First Readers little books that my children read in 2nd class.

Returned, couldn't hold my attention
I couldn't finish this story. It was a bit lightweight for my taste. Narrator was doing a good job but sounded like a teenager. Probably a good story for someone who ISN'T looking for a gritty psychological thriller...
