About this listen

When Eliza Carmody returns to her hometown after a destructive wildfire, she witnesses a crime that draws her back into the mysteries of a childhood she thought she’d left behind for good.

When the biggest legal case of her career brings Eliza Carmody back to Kinsale, the hometown she thought she had left forever, she witnesses an old friend commit a crime that sends her on a dangerous quest to uncover the mysteries of her childhood that the rest of the town seems willing to ignore.

With her friend on the run and the police investigating the bones on an unidentified dead body at a historic homestead near town, Eliza becomes convinced that the truth lies in her memories of the New Year’s Eve years ago when her friend Grace disappeared from Kinsale forever.

With the town still reeling from the devastating fire and powerful local families determined to protect young men from the consequences of their actions, Eliza begins to suspect that no one – even those she needs to trust the most – is telling the truth.

Critic Reviews

"This brilliantly crafted crime novel takes a plunge into driving thriller territory. A writer to watch." (US Publishers Weekly)

"The tension is high, the pace rapid." (The Australian)

"Incisive prose that establishes Clifford as something of a stylist. Trouble and teenagers are at the heart of this fine crime novel that introduces us to Melbourne lawyer Eliza Carmody.... Nice work." (Sydney Morning Herald)

Very similar to last book. Unlikable main character (female barrister, who appears to underemployed, has moved to “the Big City” from her “Very Small Costal Hometown”… but is back, and unwittingly solves a longstanding, but very personal mystery!)
Read if you’re bored, or if you think you’ll enjoy this paint-by-numbers, fairly poorly written and badly narrated book.
By the end, I was just screaming “Lawyers to CLARKSHIPS, they are CLARKS, in Australia, even if it’s written “CLERK”!!! It’s pronounced CLARK!!!
