Summary

Jackie and Pete King have lived in Dunmore for years, running one of the two local pubs in the sleepy little town. Money has been tight after the bushfires, and it’s about to get tighter if they can’t find a way to pay their suppliers to keep their business going and keep the bank from foreclosing on their property. So when Jackie receives a mysterious phone call offering them $100,000 to let someone bury a body on their land, the answer isn’t as simple as they thought it would be.

It’s a deal that could change their lives. But when a woman in the next town over goes missing, it’s a deal that could ruin them forever.

Enjoyable thriller

Great story, well told. Nice touches of redirection and some heart-stopping moments, too. Unusual to find this middle ground of 'wrong, but acceptable' behaviour.

Really enjoyed this!

Ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. Gritty, sad, eerie, realistic and gripping. Couldn’t stop listening. Really enjoyed it.

Intriguing, dark yet funny

This short novel packs quite a punch. Believable and relatable characters lead this superb novel with unexpected levels of humour! Narration was fantastic and really refreshing (for a Brit!) to hear a novel in an Australian accent.
Would highly recommend!
