| Brilliant, and I'm only up to page 158. I have felt chills the entire first half. I thought they might go as the turning point approaches... but they haven't. Prescient, timely and haunting... it feels so real. Experts say women like me and my friend ...more | |

| Brilliant. I'm halfway through and was compelled to jump on here to give it a five star because it's one of the best atmospheric small town noir novels I've ever read. Original, tense, packed with 90s nostalgia, music from Nirvana, getting drunk on s ...more | |

| This is Joanna Jenkins' third book and it’s her best book yet. It’s everything I love in a crime novel – a compelling plot that's cleverly constructed, the decadent luxury of inner Sydney is wonderfully imagined, there’s the author's trademark warm, ...more | |

"Big thanks to Allen & Unwin for sending us a copy to read and review.
Joanna Jenkins’s third outing is a gritty and intriguing read and as this is my first, I believe it’s the third one that features lawyer Ruth Dawson. A stand-alone city thriller tha" Read more of this review » |

| I was very interestined in this plotline, as it relates to what is going on in the world currently. Clearly the author has done a lot of research into the 1953 Allies-led coup against the Iranian PM Mossadegh. Some of it I knew, other parts I learned ...more | |
“In this garden, the air was sweet and clean, like the cool water running in the creek. Beyond the garden was the rainforest, a damp cathedral of fragrant myrtle and sassafras, sprawling mosses and ancient lichen... There was only one road into Vanishing Falls... the road meandered through hilly green pastures where black-and-white cows grazed, past pretty weatherboard farmhouses with splendid man ferns out front, thick hedges, and rose gardens.”

“There were two rabbits nibbling the green tufts growing around a fence post. She tried to creep up and pat them, but they scampered away before she could get close.”

“And I think about what it is to be too old and how I don't want to get there and wish I had spent my life feeling happier with what I'd had, rather than always feeling bad about what I'd done.”

“Jack had other friends, men with whom he played golf, went sailing, or had long business lunches. Some were farmers he had known since he was a boy, others were friends from boarding school or work connections. They were friends who required something of him, a level of either intellectual or professional engagement. With Cliff he could relax. It wasn't so much that he could be more himself. Rather, with Cliff, he could be nothing.”

“If you think about where murderers hide bodies, it's bound to be a place they know. You wouldn't drive to a new place. Too risky. It would make sense for the place where you dispose of a body to be close by. You would choose a place that you've been before, even if it was years ago.”

“Burying a person in the rainforest is like throwing a body off a boat into the ocean. It's too dense to search...”

“The air was fragrant with the cinnamon-scented sassafras bark. A flock of birds, white on the blue sky, fell like they had lost their breath in unison.”
