About this listen
A young woman's quest to heal a family rift entangles her in one of Australia's greatest historical puzzles when an intricately illustrated map offers a clue to the fate of a long-lost girl. A mesmerizing historical mystery set in the Hunter Valley from best-selling author Tea Cooper for fans of Natasha Lester and Kate Morton.
1880, the Hunter Valley.
Evie Ludgrove loves to map the landscape around her home - hardly surprising, since she grew up in the shadow of her father's obsession with the great Australian explorer Dr. Ludwig Leichhardt. So when an advertisement appears in The Bulletin magazine offering a one-thousand-pound reward for proof of where Leichhardt met his fate, Evie is determined to figure it out - after all, there are clues in her father's papers and in the archives of the Royal Geographical Society. But when Evie sets out to prove her theory, she vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that taints everyone's lives for 30 years.
1911
When Letitia Rawlings arrives at the family estate in her Model T Ford, her purpose is to inform her great-aunt Olivia of a bereavement. But Letitia is also escaping her own problems - her brother's sudden death, her mother's scheming, and her own dissatisfaction with the life planned out for her. So when Letitia discovers a beautifully illustrated map that might hold a clue to the fate of her missing aunt, Evie Ludgrove, her curiosity is aroused and she sets out to discover the truth of Evie's disappearance.
But all is not as it seems at Yellow Rock estate, and as events unfold, Letitia begins to realize that solving the mystery of her family's past could offer as much peril as redemption.

mumbled and mispronounced
story ok but the narrator rushed her words, the protagonist's voice was shrill and alarmist throughout other voices were rushed, muffled and hard to understand.

Wonderful Book & Amazing Narrator
Really enjoyed this book. The narrator does an amazing job of making each character stand apart and come alive! So happy to have found another great Australian author. Beautiful style of writing. Now I feel like a trip to Wollombi to walk in the footsteps of these characters.

Good storyline and Australian setting
Enjoyable story. Narrator did a fine job until the last part where main character was screeching a little too much. Disappointing element to an otherwise enjoyable listen.

narration
You'd think that in using an Australian for the narration she would have the manners to learn how to pronounce places in said book.
For those of you not from the Hunter Valley , it is pronounced Scone as in Stone not Scon as in John. Apart from that continual irritant a very enjoyable graphic book.

Tea Cooper can write!
I have a friend in Sydney who is an English teacher. Occasionally I send him a book that I think is outstanding. This is one of those books!

Pronunciation matters
I am from the Hunter where this story is based. Scone should be pronounced with the accent on the O as in home or phone. Murrurundi should be pronounced with the accent on the I as in pie and die. This minor ingress detracted from the reading for me. However, overall a pleasant if somewhat predictable story.

Enthralling
Loved the book. But, found the mispronunciation of town names like Scone very annoying.
