Another good book from the author! Lots of social issues covered in this one but I found it a little hard to keep up with all the different characters and story lines going on.

Captivating read, multiple narrators, interesting whale facts. Set in a small coastal town with a dark history of toxic masculinity. Recommend. Thanks A&U

Australian crime mystery set on the East Coast. An engaging, twisty read.

This was a wonderful book that has a wide variety of characters and issues, past and present that all slowly come to light.
This book also covers issues of sexual assault, toxic masculinity and the gay hate crimes of the 1980’s and 1990’s.
Small towns are renowned for the secrets that families keep and the residents in Kinton Bay certainly have a lot.
Another great book that I read over two days because I had to know what happened to those in the past and the present and who was hiding the most important secret of all - murder.
