About this listen
Nominated for the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Crime Novel
Rachael Schlank is a straight-talking detective who’s always felt like a fish out of water, bouncing between departments over the years. Now she’s finally found a home in Victoria Police's Cold Case Unit.
When a vigilante starts targeting hunters, leaving clues about a long-ago cold case, Rachael is asked to join a task force investigating the crimes...along with a former colleague whose dangerous temper has already made an impact on her life.
In order to crack the case, Rachael finds herself challenging her own ideas about justice and morality. And before it’s over, she must also face down her own history, risking it all to solve the case....
The past is never over. She will make sure of it.

"One of the best crime mystery books I have read. It features a female Australian detective and is set around a crime spree by a vigilante. The plot is fascinating and builds to a climax that knocked my proverbial socks off. Five stars.” (Waterstones, UK)

Light and dark
A simple plot , this story started strong but lost its way slightly, police procedure , animal rights , and cold cases. The characters needed more depth.

Interesting story, Good Narration
The story was well written and very interesting.
The Narration was done well. The ending was good, and in some ways climactic.

Great story line with unexpected turns
A very interesting look into animal cruelty and the people who put their lives on the line to defend and protect animals. The legal aspect was eye opening as well, when you think that these people who advocate for animal rights and try to expose dispicable treatment are the ones who get the criminal records whilst the hunters and factory farmers are protected by law.
Realistic characters and the narrator did a great job building their profiles and telling their story. I really enjoyed this book and found myself rooting for the alleged bad guy. I can only give it a 10 out of 10!

Good storyline but only one side of farming shown.
I didn't like the fact that nothing was mentioned of the damage and distress that some farmers like myself have incurred when attacked by animal activists without cause and only bad actors in the farming industry were portrayed. This spoilt an otherwise interesting plotline I almost stopped listening. I also hate factory farms for the cruelty inflicted.

Terrible
The narrator sounds like she is reading to children whose second language is English. The storyline is utterly unoriginal and predictable, whilst painting a simplistic and divisive picture of rural Australia.

I can see why it was free
Writer has an agenda but not much else.
Zero idea about police procedures, farming, hunting, or puppy farming. I'm as greenie as they come and would have loved a more realistic story without flaws so obvious that it provided unintended moments of humour.
Villains too obvious. Billy's owner would have been a better choice.
