When newly-qualified homicide detective Nell Buchanan is assigned her first murder case back at her hometown, her initial excitement turns to dismay as she realises the body is decades old and the perpetrator probably long dead. But as she begins to fit the pieces together, and another body is discovered, the case becomes increasingly complex and affects her on a more personal level. I loved this book. The weaving together of the plot over 3 different timelines and the constant twists and turns, left me intrigued and racing to the end. I also loved the sense of place that the descriptions of the landscape invoked. A worthy follow-up to Opal Country.
