About this listen
The summer of 1966-7. Hal and his little brother have just come to live in Moorabool. They're exploring the creek near their new home when they find the body of a dog.
Not just dead, but killed.
Not just killed, but horribly maimed.
Constable Mick Goodenough, recently demoted from his big-city job as a detective, is also new in town—and one of his dogs has gone missing. Like other pets around the town.
He knows what it means when someone tortures animals to death. They're practicing. So when Hal's mother starts getting late-night phone calls—a man whistling, then hanging up—Goodenough, alone among the Moorabool cops, takes her seriously. But will that be enough to keep her and her young sons safe?
Nostalgic yet clear-eyed, simmering with small-town menace, Greg Woodland's wildly impressive debut populates the rural Australia of the 1960s with memorable characters and almost unbearable tension.

Great read
Kept thinking I had it worked out and that it was all obvious, had my doubts that I wouldn't regret time spent listening but ending got me good

Excellently read moody, corrugated iron crime.
Tangible landscape and characters that really grow on you. Moody. Gritty. Rust and cicadas Really need to make mention of Nic’s performance, a brilliant read.

Definitely worth listening too
A bit slow at the beginning but setting the scene I guess. Ended up not being able to stop listening.

A well told tale, great Aussie country town drama which was believable.
Maybe such a large police presence in a small town was unrealistic even in the 60s.

Disappointed
Once again enjoyed the beginning then it thins out losing its substance. Silly banter and arguments.
