Secrets of the Springs

By: Kerry McGinnis

Narrated by: Casey Withoos

When Orla Macrae receives a letter asking her to return to the family cattle property where she grew up, she does so grudgingly. Her estranged uncle Palmer may be dying, but he is the last person she wants to see, not when she's made a new life far away from where she lost so much. But on his deathbed he utters a few enigmatic words about a secret locked away and a clue as to its whereabouts. Intrigued, Orla decides to stay, reconnecting with old friends and taking a chance on a long-time dream of opening the homestead to tourists. Continuing the search for her uncle's elusive secret, she discovers far more than she bargained for – a shocking truth about her parents' marriage, and the confession of a chilling murder.©2017 Kerry McGinnis (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing

This book is NOT a mystery

I bought this book because it came up under new releases as mysteries and thrillers. It is by no stretch of the imagination a mystery. It’s more a tale of life in the Australian bush country mixed in with romance. However the book was well written and nicely narrated (with the exception of the narrator taking a deep breath at the beginning of each paragraph) and I learned a bit about the land down under.
