An Ill Wind
Margaret Hickey
Reviewed by Helen
When a body is found hanging from one of the three hundred wind turbines in the small country town of Carrabeen in Victoria it seems that suicide is what has happened here, did Geordie Pritchard owner of the wind farm, local wealthy philanthropist kill himself?
Detective Sergeants Belinda Burney and Will Lovell are married and Belinda is very pregnant they moved to Carrabeen nearly one year ago to the town Belinda grew up in so as she can be close to her father who is ill, they are only here for a year before they move back to Melbourne, now they must find out what happened to Geordie and it seems that what they uncover points to murder not suicide, was it the turbine haters.
What they are uncovering is taking them in many directions and there is more happening when another local falls into a silo and says he was pushed and then one of the teachers at the school is found murdered there are more questions than answers, will they find out what really happened is it one culprit or more than one?
This story started a little slow for me but then wow it moved in so many different directions there are twists and turns throughout the story that had me turning the pages and coming up with no answers, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, fabulous characters they are strong and determined but real people, I would highly recommend this one to any reader of a good crime, mystery, thriller story.
My thanks to Penguin AU for my copy to read and review.
