About this listen

A powerful and poignant tale of rural suspense told by the acclaimed Fleur McDonald, bestselling author of Voices in the Dark and Shock Waves.

Hallie, a young and successful fashion blogger, recently married to a station owner, is having trouble adjusting to the flies, dust, snakes and isolation in the Flinders Ranges. Left alone with her baby while her husband, Alex is often out on long bore runs during the day, she also has to contend with her father-in-law, Rod, who insists on making himself at home in their house.

Alex is out on a bore run, and as Hallie and their daughter, Ruby, watch him in real time on the camera from the homestead, Alex suddenly disappears from view. He is found later, dead at the bottom of a windmill. A tragic accident, falling from the top—windmills are death traps if they're not treated with respect.

At the funeral, Alex's four close friends from agricultural college reunite. Months later, one of the other friends is found dead in another tragic rural accident.

When Hallie's investigation into Alex and his friends uncovers alarming information, it's up to Detective Dave Burrows and his partner, Constable Mia Worth, to discover the truth of these accidents.

A disappointing read

I have read all of Fleur McDonald's books and adore the Dave Burrows series, but this one was a real disappointment. Possibly because Dave Burrows had such a small role. I didn't enjoy the female lead/victim's wife. The story took too long to pick up pace or grab attention. It was a boring read for me.

NARRATOR: BIG MISTAKE

I made the big mistake of not checking the narrator before purchase & for me the change of narrator doesn't fit the Dave Burrows persona I have enjoyed so much in the past. Then waiting until Chapter 3 until the 2 main character are are even mentioned causes the book to loose all context (for me) of what a Dave Burrow's novel entails.

Unfortunately I can't return this book for whatever reason & I simply can't finish it so my review is: check the narrator if you are a follower of the Dave Burrows series and for that reason alone this book does not rate in my opinion. It's like listening to Jack Reacher and not having Jeff Harding as the narrator.
