WOW what a fabulous story, filled with suspense as Detective Sargent Pierce Ryder is back in The Snowy Mountains after notorious killer Gavin Hutton, the fabulous characters from Charlotte Pass are back in this story and we get to meet a new hero in Jack Walker, this is defiantly a book to pick up I found it very hard to put down.
Eva Bell and her three year old daughter Poppy are busy getting the Golden Wattle Lodge in remote Thredbo ready for the ski season things are looking very good for the single mum who is also a chef, when a bloodied stranger charges into the lodge but when Eva looks closely it is not a stranger but Jack Walker someone from her past and Eva is very worried about what he wants.
Detective Ryder has a new lead on the killer Gavin Hutton and this brings him back the Snowy Mountains on the hunt, his partner Vanessa is Eva’s sister, but when Vanessa finds it hard to get in contact with Eva, Ryder is eager to find out what is going on and with the sighting of Hutton close to Eva’s lodge he is quick to get there only to find that all is not what he expected, but maybe he will finally catch the killer.
Ryder and Walker are soon working together to catch Hutton before another murder and to keep Eva and Poppy safe, there is a lot that Jack knows and hopefully they will get their man.
This is a fast paced story filled with action, heart stopping action so very well written the words flow beautifully with energy that had me turning the pages I had to know what was going to happen, Lee Christine has pulled me into this web of mystery and the hunt for the killer with fabulous characters and such a fabulous setting. There is also a very lovely journey to happiness, second time around for a couple of the characters and Poppy was a delight in this story. This is a story that I highly recommend, it really shouldn’t be missed.
