Daughters of Swallow's Fall #1
The House on Jindalee Lane
The launch of the warm and witty new Daughters of Swallow’s Fall series, from the author of the internationally bestselling The House on Burra Burra Lane.
Actress Edie Granger is in a spot of trouble. When a big-time producer threatens to ruin her career—and possibly the rest of her life—she flees to her remote hometown in the Snowy Mountains and opens a Little Theatre to put on her comedy whodunnit Who Shot the Producer.
Childhood friend and ex-Commando Ryan Munroe has returned to Swallow’s Fall to see if there’s a future for him and Edie after their disastrous but unforgettable first and only kiss three years ago. She’s still dazzling, still in love with her career and still out of his reach. He’s about to leave town when he learns that Edie might have trouble on her heels.
Struggling with her growing attraction to Ryan, and torn between her career and a rekindled love for her hometown, Edie focuses on generating her cast and crew from the 182 Swallow’s Fall residents, and producing her play. But when elements from the play start happening for real, the comedy turns dangerous.
Edie is suddenly centre stage in the biggest role of her life.
Can she pull it off? And can Ryan ensure everyone survives to make it to the curtain call?

I developed quite an attachment to the writing of Australian author Jennie Jones after seeing her on a romance panel in 2015. Over the last few years, Jennie Jones has gone from strength to strength, with the success of her Swallow’s Fall series. The House on Jindalee Lane is the opener in a new spin off series titled, Daughters of Swallow’s Fall. I found this latest release by Jennie Jones to be a highly entertaining read from start to finish.
Edie Granger returns home to her remote town abode of Swallow’s Fall, nestled in the picturesque Snowy Mountains. Edie has been forced to flee to her home in order to save what is left of her career as an actress after a well known producer placed threats on her job and life. Edie has decided now is the right time to open a theatre in Swallow’s Fall and stage a production of a play Edie has penned called ‘Who Shot the Producer’. While Edie finds her life occupied by the play, she also has to contend with her renewed attraction to Ryan Munroe, a childhood friend. Ryan, an ex army commando, has also recently returned to Swallow’s Fall to see if he can regain Edie’s affections. When trouble comes to the tiny town of Swallow’s Fall and infiltrates the play, Edie must garner all the strength she can. That also means she must rely on Ryan to help save her production. It is a question of love, career aspirations, trust, drama, friendship and survival in this heart-warming new tale from Jennie Jones.
The foundation novel in Jennie Jones new Daughters of Swallow’s Fall series was a tender and lively book that I lapped up over a two day period. The joy in this latest release from Jones comes from a number of angles. The stunning Snowy Mountains setting was the first drawcard for me, along with the appealing lead couple, the gentle townsfolk of Swallow’s Fall and the high drama that comes from Edie’s theatre production.
I took an immediate liking to the setting of The House on Jindalee Lane. The Snowy Mountains is one of those regions in Australia that is high on my travel bucket list. Jennie Jones cemented my resolve even further to make it to this stunning part of Australia. Jones is able to bring a strong sense of place to the pages of her novel. I felt enveloped by the wonderful locale and the inhabitants of Swallow’s Fall, through the welcome experience of reading this novel.
Onto the characters that populate The House on Jindalee Lane. For those who are fans of Jennie Jones’ previous novels, this book will make you feel at home character wise. There are some familiar faces that crop up, so it is almost like greeting an old friend in the interactions and dialogue that comes from these characters. All of the residents of Swallow’s Fall that play a part in this latest novel from Jones are endearing. As a collective, they serve to remind us of the wonderful comradely that exists in small towns such as Swallow’s Fall. The leads, Edie and Ryan, are good natured. Ryan quickly gained my affection. Ryan is represented solidly by Jones and she ensures we get a good feel for his background, as well as his personality. Edie on the other hand is a colourful heroine but her temperament tended to be a little frustrating at times. I will admit that despite my reservations for the character of Edie, I was impressed with her ability to pull of her stage production of ‘Who Shot the Producer’. I also enjoyed Edie and Ryan’s journey to love and happiness, which was peppered with a few hiccups but demonstrates that the road to happy ever after is never easy.
Jones demonstrates that despite the small size and population of Swallow’s Fall, much can happen in this tiny community. Drama and suspense comes from the production of the play and Edie’s producer, who holds a grudge. Love is in the air for past lovers Edie and Ryan. Angst and career indecision comes from the lead, Edie. Humour comes from the entertaining townsfolk of Swallow’s Fall. All in all it is a dazzling production from author Jennie Jones, who once was a part of the theatre way of life but has now traded in her career on the stage for a life of writing. I do hope The House in Jindalee Lane marks the start of an enduring new spin-off series for Jennie Jones.

Edie Granger had moved back to Swallow’s Fall after some trouble in Sydney with the producer of the show she was doing, and had decided to produce her own show with the residents of the town playing the parts. “Who Killed the Producer” was something Edie had written and she was keen to have the locals involved. Ryan Munroe had also moved back to Swallow’s Fall on learning of Edie’s return – they hadn’t seen each other for three years, and their parting hadn’t been comfortable.
Ryan was in love with Edie but it appeared she didn’t return his feelings. But Edie was also in love with Ryan – their communication – or lack of it – was troubled with the pair arguing on a regular basis. But Edie was determined to have success with her little production and while Ryan was happy to help her achieve her goals, he was also frustrated by what was happening. But it was when danger approached the small town, and Edie, that Ryan’s time and position in the forces came to the fore.
What would happen when the play suddenly seemed to imitate real life? And would the two friends ever become more than “just friends”?
The House on Jindalee Lane is the first in a new series (Daughters of Swallow’s Fall) for Aussie author Jennie Jones. This one is filled with characters from Jones’ highly successful Swallow’s Fall series so it was like catching up with old friends. I did feel there was too much internal dialogue running through this one, and will admit to skimming in places. But that said, I have no hesitation in recommending The House on Jindalee Lane to fans of the author, as well as rural romance fans.
With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ecopy to read and review.

When her acting career is threatened by vindictive rumours and accusations spread by a well known and influential producer, Edie Granger heads home to Swallow’s Falls. Edie plans to produce her comedy murder mystery play, 'Who Shot the Producer,' using largely local townsfolk plus a couple of well known actors. Ryan Munroe has also returned to Swallow’s Falls. Ryan and Edie had a disastrous first and only kiss three years earlier that affected them both. When Ryan learns Edie could be in danger he is determined to ensure her safety. Can he protect her? Can they move past that disastrous kiss.?
This was a mixed read. A few things grated on this reader. One was the ‘hair fling thing’ which I was utterly sick of after repeated comments about it. Some of the dialogue was cheesy and I was well and truly over the fuss about Gemma with her tarot and Zenda the supposed fortune teller. There is also a lot of introspection as Edie and Ryan sort through the feelings. There were times I wanted to tell them both to wake up to themselves and just communicate with each other. If there was more communication instead of introspection it would have been helpful, but then you’d have a much shorter book.
Those gripes aside, it was a mostly entertaining read, even if a bit over the top at times. Ryan is a strong character and so is Edie and I loved Mrs Tam and several of the other community members and the way the community rallied around Edie and threw themselves into the play. A light, amusing read set in the Snowy Mountains area of Australia, which is a lovely setting.

I am a fan of the Swallow's Fall series by Ms Jones, so the chance to read the spin off series was a no brainer for me.
We are back in Swallow's Fall with Edie Granger and Ryan Munroe. After a failed relationship attempt a few years ago, they went their separate ways.
Now they are back in their home town and things can only be better than their parting, right?
I adore Ryan. He is all kinds of beautiful and swoony and any woman would give her left one to have him. Heck, I will take him off Edie's hands if she doesn't want him!
Now, Edie on the other hand, she frustrated me no end. I wanted to love her, I really did, but she was so wishy washy to me. Not professionally, I think she was amazing at what she does, but personality wise, nope.
I can't tell you how many times I talked to Ryan as I was reading, telling him to run run away, as fast as he could. The way she kept leading Ryan on then backing away - gah! Make up your mind woman.
But this might just be me.
I loved getting back to Swallow's Fall, catching up with characters that have come to feel like friends in the previous series, and even though The House On Jindalee Lane fell a little short for me, I will definitely be reading the other books in the series as they are released.

I did love reading this story, the latest of Jennie Jones's Swallow's Falls books. Apart from loving these books and their country town stories, this one took me back to my own Little Theatre days with all the friendship, love and laughter, drama, tears and, yes, the sometimes heartbreak, that IS a country Little Theatre! Loved those days so much and they came alive once again in Jennie's latest book. Decision made: I am now going back to the first in the series...The House on Burra Burra Lane, Ethan and Sammy's (Edie's parents) story! Thank you Jennie, I hope there are a lot more stories to come.

This is the first book from MS Jones that I have read, I do have the Swallow’s Falls books on my massive TBR pile and I do look forward to them, but I thought I would start with this spin off series and I loved the setting such a fabulous country town with a cast a characters that made me smile with their different ways about them, this is Edie Granger and Ryan Munroe’s story and it is a journey that has a few hurdles to get over before they make it to their HEA.
Edie has arrived home after a spot of bother with a big producer in Sydney she is worried not only about herself but her family as well, she is living in the house her parents have given her and has decided to put on a play that she has written and had success with a comedy Who Shot the Producer and is calling in the help of the 182 residents of Swallow’s Falls. This also means Ryan the guy she has always had a big attraction for and with danger around every corner this brings them closer together.
Ryan has left the army, it is now time to find a place to settle down he has plans to help families but for the moment he has heard that Edie is back in town so that is where he is going maybe he can convince Edie that they should be together but with the problems with the producer he is keeping her safe and getting closer that pull from their younger days has never left.
There is a lot going on in this story I really liked Ryan from the start he is a patient hero and so very protective and caring, Edie can be a bit frustrating her feelings were a little hard to pin down for me, but there where laughs getting this play together with the townsfolk and with danger and a producer who thought he could just walk all over people this added to the story. I am looking forward to the next book in this series and a re-visit to Swallow’s Falls.

'The House on Jindalee Lane' by Jennie Jones
Edie Granger is reaching the peak of her acting career when a big time Californian producer threatens to ruin her career with untrue rumours.
Edie flees to her hometown of Swallows Fall in the Snowy Mountain to escape the rumours and sort out what she will do if her career is ruined.
Deciding to not sit idols Edie opens a theatre to run a comedy play she has written, Who Shot the Producer.
Will this further infuriate the Californian producer on who the play may be based on?
Ryan Munroe has also returned to Swallows Fall upon learning Edie is back, the ex army commando is keen to see if he and Edie have a future together after their first kiss three years ago, which happened to end in disaster.
Is Ryan's 'Dazzlepants' ready to give up her career or will she be forever out of his reach.
When Ryan learns Edie may be under threat from the scorned producer he decides to stick around and be Edie's bodyguard, thus allowing Ryan the perfect chance to slip under Edie's guard?
Edie finds herself torn between her career, the rekindled love of her hometown and her attraction for Ryan all whilst she is producing her play, trying her hardest to make it something the people of Swallows Fall will be proud of.
Things take a turn for the worst on opening night of the play, will the plays plot happen for real? Will Ryan be able to protect the love of his life from the danger she faces?
I enjoyed this book, nothing startling about the plot just a typical romance with a little bit of mystery thrown in, it wasn't an edge of your seat thriller more a nice easy read but not boring by any means.
Thanks to Beauty and Lace and Harlequin for the chance to review The House on Jindalee Lane.

The House On Jindalee Lane is book one in the new series by Jennie Jones called Daughters of Swallow's Fall. When Ryan Munroe sister told him that Edie Granger was back in Swallow's Fall, he had to come back home. Edie Granger enjoys acting. However, when a famous producer threatens her career, Edie goes back to Swallow's Fall to set up a small theatre in a barn at the back of the House her parent's purchase for her on Jindalee Lane. The readers of The House On Jindalee Lane will continue to follow Edie and Ryan to find out what happens.
The House On Jindalee Lane continues the story of the children of the first Swallow's fall series. Jennie Jones has done it again with the first in the Daughters of Swallow's Fall series. I engaged with this book from the first page and it another stopped until the last page. I love the Jennie Jones portrayal of her characters and the way they intertwine with each other throughout this book. The House On Jindalee Lane is well written and researched by Jennie Jones. I like Jennie Jones description of the settings of The House On Jindalee Lane that allow me to imagine being part of the plot of this book.
The readers of The House On Jindalee Lane will understand the importance of having a place for veterans and their families to cope after returning from combat zones. Also, the readers of The House On Jindalee Lane will learn how to run a small community theatre.
I recommend this book.

from Beauty and Lace Book Club and Harlequin Australia.
Edie Granger is an Actress.
A well known Producer is threatening to ruin her career and her life.
She disappears and runs to her hometown, a small country town in the remote NSW Snowy Mountains.
Ryan Munroe is Edie's chilhood friend and when he hears Edi has returned home,
he decides to return to see if there is a future for them.
Ryan was a Commando in the Army.
They had only shared one kiss many years ago.
It was disasterous.
Edie decides to produce a play she has written using the local towns people as her Cast Members.
It is a Comedy/Mystery called Who Shot The Producer.
The play spills over onto everyday life and when happenings are eeirily similar to her Play,
Edie confides in Ryan who uses his contacts to keep Edie and her Cast Members safe.
Beautifully written and will keep you guessing until the last page.
I will be keeping my eye out for other books by Jennie Jones.

It's been a while since I've read one of Jennie Jones' stories, but she has a new book out soon and I thought I'd go for a quick refresher with The House On Jindalee Lane. As always, this had the style I've come to know and love with Jennie Jones' writing. Lots of super cute moments. A delightfully indecisive 'over-thinker' for a heroine and a steadfast army guy for a wonderful hero.
The cast of Swallows Fall characters were lovely to revisit, as was the many characters who have had books of their own in previous Swallows Fall series instalments.
It's a lovely light-hearted escape reading one of Jennie Jones' rurals. I know the new book is a different genre, and I'm looking forward to checking it out.

It was good to go back to Swallow Falls for the first daughters book. To remember the characters in the town such as Nick, Kate, Olivia, Ted, and others plus Sammy n her daughter Edie whom this story is about. Second guessing myself about Simon's part, introducing new characters Ryan who is Gemma's brother, Vince, Cameron n Sonya. Maybe we will see them again soon in the next book? I see myself in Edie being a over thinker and not communicating well.

Most enjoyable book. This is the first book I have read by Jennie Jones and I have now tracked down four more books to read also by her. Without giving away the storyline, there was plenty of action and some really interesting characters. Of course it wouldn't be as good if there was no romance between two of the main characters which leaves you guessing to the end!

What a wonderful story. I loved it!

A very boring book. After having just finished Len Deighton's Bomber, it was an anticlimax. I struggled through but it didn't really get started till about page 175.

What a fantastic story and ending to this series, even though this is the first book in the start of a new series. I loved reading Eadie and Ryan’s story.

A story full of humour, suspense and romance, it's amazing what can happen in a small town. I enjoyed the characters in the town and their interactions, the small town friendships and support for their own. A fun read that made me laugh and kept me in suspense at times.

Ryan's character was the stand out in this read - his character was a joy to read. Edie too pulled the heartstrings somewhat in the story as well. The past characters from The Swallow's Fall series that made an appearance in The House On Jindalee Lane were a highlight in the story. An overall good read and an interesting start to the Daughter's Of Swallow's Fall series by author Jennie Jones.

Its been a long ardous journey but I made it. Found out it was possible to read a minimum amount of words on a page and reach the end of a book and still know what happened. A very average, very easy read. Found it hard to relate this book to the original 'Swallow Falls' books.

Love this series of books! I would move to the town as it seems like a beautiful place to live. Love the characters.
