Summary

What I thought I knew: in 1998, Maryanne Doyle disappeared, and Dad knew something about it. Maryanne Doyle was never seen again.

What I actually know: in 1998, Dad lied about knowing Maryanne Doyle. Alice Lapaine has been found strangled near Dad's pub. Dad was in the local area for both Maryanne Doyle's disappearance and Alice Lapaine's murder.

Constructed & soppy

This book was a bit of a disappointment, with a constructed storyline & a soppy father daughter relationship (phew).

Great debut novel

This is a great first novel from the pen of Caz Frear. Cat Kinsella is a fabulous police officer, totally credible and I warmed to her immediately. Her relationship with her colleagues was healthy, thank goodness. I'm fed up with police officers stabbing each other in the back and generally climbing over their colleagues still warm corpses in their selfish attempts to rise to the top. The whole tale of murder, deceit and skulduggery was carefully thought out. Each individual strand seemed disconnected until Ms Frear applied her immense talent to weaving them together and making a colourful tapestry of lies and crime. Cat Kinsella and her fellow officers are a great team, and I know she's on secondment for a while, but I really hope the band gets back together for another concert soon. Great narrating from Jane Collingwood helped take an excellent book into exceptional audio book. Can't wait for the next one!
