Publisher's Summary
A shocking discovery deep in the Snowy Mountains. A killer who will do anything to keep secrets buried.
When ski patroller Vanessa Bell discovers human bones high on Mount Stilwell at Charlotte Pass ski resort, Detective Sergeant Pierce Ryder of Sydney Homicide Squad is called in to lead the investigative team. Arriving in the isolated, snowed-in village with Winterfest Celebrations underway, Ryder soon determines that the bones are those of Celia Delaney, a young woman who disappeared from the ski resort in 1964, during the biggest winter storm in Australian alpine history.
When a second murder takes place, Ryder suspects that the deaths are related, and the person responsible is still in the village. Amid the escalating tension, Ryder is desperate to make an arrest before the stakes rise even higher.
Set within the stunning Snowy Mountains, this intriguing mystery uncovers deadly, long-buried secrets in the valleys and mountains of this iconic area.

Well narrated especially the Italian man.
A realistic Australian whodunnit taking place up on Mt Kosciusko. Having been to the area, and appreciating its beauty, I imagined where it took place. There were sad sides to the tale and touching incidents such as tiny posies placed on an area known to be a grave. The last chapters seemed to drag a bit like the end was hard to find. For Editors…hospital wards are never ‘sterile’.
The ‘love’ side was routine and like millions of books, with the couple in bed within hours. Why not be different?
That and the cursing made it lose stars for me.
A pleasant book, lacking outstanding qualities.

Great book.
Great book, I really enjoyed it since I live in the area. Only thing I could fault is that snowmobiles don't run on diesel and modern snow groomers don't have gear changes but unless you work in the industry you wouldn't know.

Loved it!
Charlotte Pass is a lovely name for a place where a tragic event happened over 50 years ago, which leads to another tragedy in the here and now.
Charlotte Pass is a place where people come to enjoy the abundant snow, the majority too young to have even heard about the 50 year old tragedy; they are put out because their favourite snowy playground has been put into lockdown by the police.
The book presents the reader with an exciting police drama and a list of characters that you will mostly love, and several who it is very easy to dislike. But the whole cast of characters make this a totally absorbing read and the winter wonderland in which the story is set is just the icing on the cake. Henry Nixon brings this Australian tale to life with his unmistakable Aussie accent. I would be happy to listen to him over and over. And Lee Christine gave Henry a wonderful Australian police drama to wrap his talented vocal cords around.
If you are Australian or you love books written by Australians, set in Australia, then you are on a winner if you purchase Charlotte Pass. 👍🏻 ❄️🌨⛄️

Murder and romance, how can you go wrong
Not exactly an "on the edge of your seat thriller", but a good listen. Enjoyed the relationship development of the main characters.

I loved this book and will be checking out what else this author has written. Great story line - and living in Canberra and from Newcastle, loved that it was written about my stomping grounds! Characters were real and plot kept me listening till the very end. Only gripe I have is that I finished it all too quickly!

Skip it
Save yourself. The plot is boring, badly developed, predictable and cheesy. I can enjoy cheesy book at times, when it is with humor or something but this just no.
