Dead Horse Gap
Lee Christine
Reviewed by Helen
This is the third book set in The Snowy Mountains in NSW and it is another awesome read, Lee Christine takes us on another suspenseful ride to uncover a drug ring and the death of a pilot and with characters that we have gotten to know and think very highly of, I loved being back in this part of the world with Ryder, Flowers and Sterling as they work together to uncover the truth.
Detective Constable Nerida Sterling is working undercover in the snowy mountains searching for answers about the death of a police informant and the drug ring he was a part of when there is a horrible light plane crash at the small airfield of Khancoban that kills a man, so now Detective Sergeant Pierce Ryder and Detective Constable Mitchell Flowers from Sydney homicide are sent to investigate as this does not look like an accident.
Sterling is glad to have her two co-workers closer than they were and as they discuss the cases, could there be a link between them both as they look into the past of a couple of families who have been living in the district for many years there is a feud, could this have been the reason the pilot died, so many questions but Ryder and Flowers are good detectives and with Sterling helping as well, things are soon starting to fall into place and questions answers, but there is also danger lurking and Sterling needs to be very careful will her cover be blown, what will happen to her?
Lee Christine knows how to write fabulous characters they come to life on the pages and I felt like I was in this beautiful part of the world, discovering the old stockman’s huts that have been preserved for so many years and I felt the snow storms and the emotions that rang through the characters thoughts as they uncovered the terrible truth of what had happened. I loved this one from start to finish and highly recommend it and I look forward to many more stories from Lee Christine, she is a must read author.
My thanks to the publisher for my copy to read and review.
