About this listen
When a school group of teenage girls goes missing in the remote wilderness of Tasmania's Great Western Tiers, the people of Limestone Creek are immediately on alert. Three decades ago, five young girls disappeared in the area of those dangerous bluffs, and the legend of 'the Hungry Man' still haunts locals to this day.
Now, authorities can determine that the teacher, Eliza Ellis, was knocked unconscious, so someone on the mountain was up to foul play. Jordan Murphy, the local dealer and father of missing student Jasmine, instantly becomes the prime suspect. But Detective Con Badenhorst knows that in a town this size - with corrupt cops, small-town politics, and a teenage YouTube sensation - everyone is hiding something, and bluffing is second nature.
When a body is found, mauled, at the bottom of a cliff, suspicion turns to a wild animal - but that can't explain why she was discovered barefoot, her shoes at the top of the cliff, laces neatly tied.
'This atmospheric, scenery-rich crime tale embodies both the beauty and brutality of nature - especially human nature...The Bluffs establishes Perry as a fierce new talent.' Apple Books
'The narrative races along, pulling the reader from page to page with a freight-train momentum that starts with the first word and ends with the final full stop.' Sunday Examiner
'A riveting story that will give even a seasoned thriller reader goosebumps... The Bluffs is a perfect winter read that will pull you in and won't let go. Perry has managed to exceed expectations for his debut novel. Full of mystery, crime and a certain hair-raising charm, you won't be disappointed.'

"Tense, atmospheric and unsettling, this book will stay with you long after you turn the last page, and long after you turn out the lights." (Christian White)

Great yarn
Excellent story, great writing and fantastic depictions of some genuinely awful people. Loved the bromance between the main characters, it was so genuine. Thoroughly enjoyable, though a tad confusing in some small bits.

Great listen
Hooked me from the beginning. Though had to concentrate on some of the twists - you need to pay attention! The narration was great - and I really felt I was in Tassie. Next holiday there, I am off to the tiers - but will stay on the paths! Though maybe I didn’t concentrate hard enough st the end …. I have some questions - and want to know how all the characters are in the long run - I was that invested!

Good yarn, I enjoyed it
Great Narrators, made it a pleasure to listen.
The story was good and the plot was good however I did become a little lost in the middle.
Don't let me put you off listening because it's a good story but you do need to concentrate in places to keep "who is who" straight in your mind.
Happy to recommend this and would definitely listen to another by this author.

Breathtaking!
A sweeping, fast-paced thriller that delivers. This story had me shouting out loud at the characters. Some brilliant suspense and genuinely surprising reveals.
Very highly recommended for the story alone, but Rhys Muldoon's narration is worth the price of admission as well.
Cannot recommend highly enough.
