About this listen
'She wasn't the first and she wouldn't be the last; swallowed into the deep, dark recesses of the King Country bush, never to be seen again.'
It's January 1983. During his university summer break, Ryan Bradley returns to the remote town of Nashville in New Zealand's rugged King Country.
It's a bittersweet trip: he's working long, punishing hours as a woolpresser, he needs to sell his late mother's house, and he's increasingly feeling like an outcast in his childhood town.
But mostly he's haunted by memories of Sanna Sovernen, a Finnish backpacker and his secret lover, who worked with him in the shearing shed the summer before - then vanished without trace.
Now Sanna's sister Emilia has arrived from Finland, determined to get answers - and as he's the workmate who reported Sanna missing, she wants Ryan's help. Because Emilia knows her sister was not the first female traveller in the area to disappear . . .

I’ve never smiled & laughed so much during a murder mystery!!!
OMG I recon I could put names to some of your characters. I was a Uni student working on farms in the King Country 1982-86. You took me right back to working in a shed, shearing my first & only 1 of 2 sheep 🐑 drinking in dodgy bars … absolutely loved EVERY minute of this book & the narration was spot on!!

believable and well written
The narration was excellent, clear and human.
Fabulous tale of murder and mystery, very hard to take a break from. All characters had personality, and fit into the story exactly where they should.
Loved this book!
