When bones, decades old are unearthed in the Tasmanian wilderness, the search for answers starts, Antonia Kovacs returns to home, this is where her father lives retired police inspector in Queenstown, will he have answers that she needs to uncover the truth?
At the same time that the bones are found Tom Pilar receives a letter from a solicitor telling him he has been left an inheritance, from a man who was friends with his father, a man he had met only twice there is a stipulation as well that he is to return his ashes to Queenstown and have them buried with the body of his daughter, is there a coincidence with the bones being discovered?
This story takes in the a lot from the past, the hit and run mystery death of a little girl, the mining and the logging that went on back it the 1950’s the many migrants that arrived to work and the locals who lived there, there are many twists in this one and it is a good story but for me it jumped around a bit I found it a bit hard to follow sometimes, there are many characters in the story, the end had me thinking, I am not sure how I felt about it.
This is a story that will appeal to many readers who love a good mystery from the past and I did enjoy it.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
