This really is like Eat Pray Love with guns. So well done. Intelligent, thoughtful and articulate. I loved being beside Spud as a 17 year old military with officer looking around and wondering what on earth he had signed up for..and that building of the life he wanted, that courage to explore those far horizons.

I loved being back in the world of Kate Cocks..as well as her 5 foot cane..I adored Ethel and her hat and ‘loveable ying to Miss Cocks aloof Yang’ I was completely captivated by the murder and the assault on 15 year old Nellie..I feel as though I’ve walked the streets of 1917 Adelaide (be

I did waste

What an everything novel! Definitely thriller, but also completely what fiction! Characters galore, but what a twisty plotty novel…it’s the whole package and I am so glad I read it.

I was SO scared to read this one!!! Look at that cover!!! I’m such a baby where horror is concerned and haunted cows! Hard no!!! But Jessica Mansour- Nahra was SO lovely when she came in to Dymocks Eastgate to autograph that I psyched right up and got my own copy..and it is a thriller,
Ate this like it was a family pack of Kit Kats and washed it down with a Diet Coke. I inhaled it. For a book about death, life, and how you spend it goodness this was fun. I’ve been asking twins if they’re telepathic since the 90s, I’m going to stop doing that right now…
