Description:
The first of the Goolwa Murder series, The Grave At The Top Of The Hill twists a story from South Australian history with one set in current times. The interconnection between the two stories unfolds in an uncanny but credible way. Based on a historical shipwreck, the story of the Mozambique and the discovery of its mysterious treasure lead to deception, mistrust and murder, the full story of which will not be revealed until 160 years later. Again, there is murder and a man who has a secret must solve the murder to prove his innocence.
Review Quotes:
- "Once picked up again could not put it down until finished. Absolutely loved it. Can't wait for your next book."
- "I loved it....couldnt put it down"
- "The idea was clever - the crossover in time & characters was different yet how it all came together. I found myself trying to solve the crimes as I read, but the twists & turns kept the mystery"
- "Just finished it...unfortunately!! A great read"
- "I have also just finished reading your book, I've never read such a great story before, the research you must have done, whoooo, unbelievable & yes I could almost think I knew some of the Goolwa folk"
- " I found this book has double the value not one story but two. It weaves in and out of history and fiction to end in much the way it started. Interest was ongoing and not once did I loose (sic) my interest. "
- "Brilliant, couldn't put it down, housework suffered!!"
- "I bought a copy of this book ... about 11:00am Friday (yesterday), I reluctantly put it down to make myself some lunch (about 2:00pm), had to put it down again when my dog demanded his dinner and again to cook some dinner for myself (8:00pm), finished it just now at 12:30am. Its been a long time since I found a book down hard to put down but this one really had me glued to my seat. I loved it's "local" content mixed with historic facts about our town. Great story. Highly recommended."
