Canticle Creek
Canticle Creek | Adrian Hyland
2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
The writing is generous and whip-smart, with sentences that will stop readers in their tracks to savour them ... Heart-racing twists propel the novel to its denouement, while the oppressive heat and arid landscape add an extra layer of threat to the unfolding drama.- Books + Publishing Two bodies. One long hot summer. A town that will never be the same. When Adam Lawson's wrecked car is found a kilometre from Daisy Bakers body, the whole town assumes its an open and shut case. But Jesse Redpath isnt from Canticle Creek. Where she comes from, the truth often hides in plain sight, but only if you know where to look. When Jesse starts to ask awkward questions, she uncovers a town full of contradictions and a cast of characters with dark pasts, secrets to hide and even more to lose. As the temperature soars, and the ground bakes, the wilderness surrounding Canticle Creek becomes a powderkeg waiting to explode. All it needs is one spark. A twisty crime thriller set in small town Australia perfect for readers of The Dry and Scrublands.

Bk14 of December & #WinterGames2021 is done! My daughter & 3month old grandson have been staying here since Sunday, so not much reading done till now. Was a bit iffy about this book at first, but it picked up after a few chapters & ended up being a good read. Gives a beautiful sense of my amazing country, written by the author of a brilliant NF about the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009. Loved it! #AVeryMerryBingo #MistletoeManiacs 2,176pts👇
