Bloodtree River

By: Sarah Barrie

Narrated by: Kate Hosking

From the author of the bestselling Hunters Ridge series comes this stand-alone twisty rural suspense, this time set against the dark backdrop of Tasmanian mountains.

The highly anticipated new thriller from the author of the Hunters Ridge trilogy...

Indiana O'Meara is no stranger to the forces of evil. Her own past is full of violence. Now a policewoman, Indy is always fighting to redeem herself and defeat the dark. So when girls begin to go missing at a remote cattle station in Tasmania, she is quick to agree to go undercover to investigate chief suspect Logan Atherton, the owner of Calico Mountain Lodge, even though last time she went undercover it came to a bloody end.

But her early encounter with Logan reveals a man full of contradictions. His deep empathy for horses and those he cares for is obvious but he is also taciturn to the point of rudeness, and there is a strange atmosphere at the lodge. It doesn't add up.

As Indy begins to dig deeper into the secrets at the lodge, she finds herself embroiled in a murderous web more complex and terrifying than she could ever have imagined…one that is linked to her own past.

Too Many Coinsidenses

This is my second Sarah Barrie book. I loved the first book Unforgiven but this book was just OK. I just don't understand all the 5 and 4 star reviews. I was really engaged in the first half of the book but the second half of the book was a bit of a mess. So many coincidences, so many things assumed about the missing girls and others that the story-line became unbelievable. Three hours to go and I almost gave up, so many roll your eyes moments including unprotected sex with someone you hardy know. I understand the book is fiction but it seems like Ms Barrie was just trying to put too much in the story.
Kate Hosking was good with the delivery of the story.
