Summary
One outback town. Two puzzling murders. Fifty suspects.
In Unamurra, a drought-scarred, one-pub town deep in the outback, two men are savagely murdered a month apart - their bodies elaborately arranged like angels.
With no witnesses, no obvious motives and no apparent connections between the killings, how can lone police officer Detective Dana Russo - flown in from hundreds of kilometres away - possibly solve such a baffling, brutal case?
Met with silence and suspicion from locals who live by their own set of rules, Dana must take over a stalled investigation with only a week to make progress.
But with a murderer hiding in plain sight, and the parched days rapidly passing, Dana is determined to uncover the shocking secrets of this forgotten town - a place where anyone could be a killer.
A gripping and vividly atmospheric story from the international bestseller, this is a searing story perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer and Garry Disher.

Struggled to finish
I usually love books set in the Australian outback but it was very difficult to judge this story due to the extremely poor narration.

Plodding and tedious beyond belief
I love the Aussie Noir genre so was really pleased to come across this but it was hugely disapponting. The premise of the story is bizarre and beyond belief. The denoument is a damp squib in terms of its credibility and the heroine smugly pleased with her apparently superior detection skills. Much of the narration is conducted through turgid repetitive dialogue and it's very simple to work out who the criminal is. The narrator is shockingly bad at almost every slightly unusual pronunciation . One of her worst faults is that her stresses in an ordinary sentence are often in the wrong place.
