About this listen
Victim ... or killer?
For the last decade, the small mountain town of Edenville in Victoria's high country has been haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers up on Jagged Ridge.
Also found dead near the scene was Bill 'Creeper' Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers . . .
Conclusion: murder-suicide. Case closed.
But as the ten-year anniversary of the massacre draws near, Detective Constable Sally White - the only officer at Edenville's modest police station - finds herself drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family.
Lex Durant, in particular, has started to publicly protest his brother's innocence and accuse the police of persecution.
As Sally combs the investigation to prove him wrong, it becomes all too clear that each murdered hiker had skeletons in their closet - and possible enemies in their past . . .

Tied together nicely
I really enjoyed this story. Relatable on many levels, geographically as well as the personalities covered. Typical small town. Solid narration.

Has promise but no depth
Interesting plot but not well written in the sense that the characters are very surface level. And the way they think isn't realistic. Wanted to enjoy but couldn't get further than the first few chapters.

A brilliant thriller
Margaret Hickey has done it again. Loved every moment of this book and especially the new characters and landscape. I hope there's more to come!

Such an enjoyable read! Kept me guessing!
Kept me guessing right to the end! Loved Sally and with her past / family it added some depth and dimension to her as a character - I feel like there’s a lot more to come with Sally! Highly recommend!

Enjoyable - kept the interest up
A diverting read and kept you guessing well enough. Always lovely to have stories set in regions one knows (although I was curious to hear that Edenvale was ‘quiet’ on a Sunday - generally such regional Vic towns’ busiest day!).
It was a bit of a cliche to have the finale enacted where it all began etc but can’t get too picky.
Characters generally well drawn, though the whole Laura red herring was a bit thin.
Sybilla Budd gave a good performance, very easy to listen to - except perhaps her pronunciation of ‘Bill’ - I’m assuming that’s what she was saying. Mangled into something approximating ‘Beeyel’.
But all enjoyable.

Nothing
Very dull. Protagonist was too flippant and silly. Bit of a let down all round

Can’t finish it
The writing and narration were so corny and uninteresting. I’d like to find out whodunnit, but can’t stand any more. Sadly.
