About this listen

Twisted secrets. Hidden victims. Monstrous crimes.

In the rural Tasmanian town of Dunton, the body of a former headmistress of a children's home is discovered, revealing a tortured life and death. Detective Jake Hunter, newly arrived, searches for her killer among past residents of the home. He unearths pain, secrets and broken adults. Pushing aside memories of his own treacherous past, Jake focuses all his energy on the investigation. Why are some of the children untraceable? What caused such damage among the survivors? The identity of her murderer seems hidden from Jake by Dunton's fog of prejudice and lies, until he is forced to confront not only the town's history but his own nature....

Chilling moments in a nasty little town

I really enjoyed this. It's a detective story set in a secretive little Tasmanian town where everybody knows everybody. A knot of lies begins to unravel as the city-boy detective investigates the murdered owner of a mysterious home for 'bad girls'. Jake, our detective, is a fairly dry character but his reticence plays well against the more colourful Tasmanian townsfolk.

There are a few really creepy moments and genuine surprises here. I will go back for more.
