A slow burn as we are reacquainted with the characters from book 1. However, as this unfolds an unexpected twist occurs, when a close friend dies tragically. Lily O'Hara, is given a cryptic note and sets out to find answers, enlisting the help of good friend Mick Flynn and close friend of the deceased Max. Lee takes us on a road trip up and down the South Coast of Australia and in the process makes some uncomfortable discoveries involving town secrets. If you are familiar with the South Coast you will enjoy Lee's references to the area.
As in Lee's first book her connection to family is still a strong theme and she is able to create clear narrative without giving too much away.
Worth a read if you like crime mysteries.
