Publisher's Summary
One outback town. Two puzzling murders. Fifty suspects.
In Unamurra, a drought-scarred, one-pub town deep in the outback, two men are savagely murdered a month apart - their bodies elaborately arranged like angels.
With no witnesses, no obvious motives and no apparent connections between the killings, how can lone police officer Detective Dana Russo - flown in from hundreds of kilometres away - possibly solve such a baffling, brutal case?
Met with silence and suspicion from locals who live by their own set of rules, Dana must take over a stalled investigation with only a week to make progress.
But with a murderer hiding in plain sight, and the parched days rapidly passing, Dana is determined to uncover the shocking secrets of this forgotten town - a place where anyone could be a killer.
A gripping and vividly atmospheric story from the international bestseller, this is a searing story perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer and Garry Disher.

Slow going
Found this quite slow and tedious. Felt it could have been a short story as lots and lots of ‘fillers’ with obvious who did it in the first hour. Ok yarn but nothing more

Easy listen
Outback story, outback closed community, easy listen, good narration. Not the most powerful storyline but enjoyed it.

good story
story was good, took a while to get into it but had me hooked after a while.
the narration was a bit annoying as you could tell everytime a page was turned and there would be a gap or weird intonation.

Boring woman sleuth
Dana is really 2 dimensional and hard to get attached to, the other characters were all a bit bland. A good effort at getting on the outback noir bandwagon but didn’t really hit the spot like Jane Harper and Chris Hammer do.

Great story
Really enjoyed this, the story was a little different to the norm but totally believable.
The ending was sensible and not easy to guess.
The narrator was brilliant and her accents were natural and not forced.
Happy to give five stars to this one.

Well with it
I found this book terrific. Aussie storytelling at its best. Looking forward to potentially having another instalment?

Boring
I found it boring. Not a great story. A lot of descriptive text with not as much storyline. The characters in the town all sounded the same.

Annoying performance
When just providing commentary the reader is ok, but the over-done 'stereotypical' Aussie accent is so distracting that I lost some of the story. In putting on the accent the pitch went up so that supposed tough coppers all had similar high pitched voices, all with terrible accents. Suggest that next time, this reader either only does the female parts and a second reader does the male, or she just reads the book in her own voice, which is good.
