I totally enjoyed this one. Clarke is quintessentially Aussie, depicting a mystery in a suburban street in regional Australia. There is a wonderful array of neighbours, each with laconic humour and their own opinions regarding the disappearance of Ginny Lawson. There’s lots to like about this novel.
