The Divine Hammer

By: Louis Nowra

Narrated by: Grant Cartwright, Hannah Norris

In the coastal township of Girrawandi, in far North Queensland, a schoolgirl has been murdered and Detective Ken Lincoff arrives from Brisbane to investigate. There's not much to go on – until the murder of a second girl, then more victims, sends Lincoff on a trail that leads to the destructive secret at the heart of one family.

Lincoff has much to deal with: a local cop who chills out on illicit substances, an alcoholic dentist with a taste for gossip, a very attractive fisherman with inside knowledge and Lincoff's struggle with his own fatal taste for alcohol. Add to this a population that thrives on rumours and a wet season that's the worst for years.

As Detective Lincoff you heard David Roberts, as Bruce – Tony Lewellyn-Jones. As Kath – Lisa Hensley and as Seargent Scott – Joel Edgerton. Others in the cast include Andrea Moor, David Field, Kris McQuade, Matthew Edgerton, Anthony Phelan, Jessica Napier, Nicholas Papademetriou, Desmond Connellan and Sarah Aubrey.

Thank God This was Free on Audible

I listened to The Goodbye Party witch was outstanding so I looked up the author's name and found this one was included in my membership. I hated it. I dont like stories with homosexual relationships and felt like this should have been in the description. I thought it was a murder mystery but I knew who the killer was by the 2nd killing. Terrible. Glad it was free.
