The Creeper
The Creeper | Margaret Hickey
1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
Victim ... or killer? For the last decade, the small mountain town of Edenville in Victorias high country has been haunted by the horrific murders of five hikers up on Jagged Ridge. Also found dead near the scene was Bill Creeper Durant, a bushland loner, expert deer-hunter, and a man with a known reputation for stalking campers . . . Conclusion: murder-suicide. Case closed. But as the ten-year anniversary of the massacre draws near, Detective Constable Sally White the only officer at Edenvilles modest police station finds herself drawn into the dark world of the notorious Durant family. Lex Durant, in particular, has started to publicly protest his brother's innocence and accuse the police of persecution. As Sally combs the investigation to prove him wrong, it becomes all too clear that each murdered hiker had skeletons in their closet - and possible enemies in their past . . .

The Creeper | Margaret Hickey

If you want to read a murder mystery set in regional Australia, you could hardly be in better hands than Margaret Hickey‘s. What I found most interesting about The Creeper was the perspective on policing in a small town. The young new cop is a bit “not like other girls”y at times, but she has a tough row to hoe and it‘s interesting to watch her piece it all together.
