Dead Horse Gap by Lee Christine
4.0
After loving Charlotte's Pass and Crackenback, I could not wait to dive into the next book in the series, Dead Horse Gap. Set in the NSW Snowy Mountains in the middle of winter, it was bizarre to be reading of the cold conditions in the middle of my summer holidays. While I was sitting at the beach with the ocean breeze, these characters were scrapping ice from their cars and wearing snow shoes!
While this is the 3rd book to feature these characters, I do believe they can be read as stand alones. Each book is it's own story and case, and Lee Christine gives enough background on the situations where needed. This one starts with a light plane crashing at a small airfield in the Snowy Mountains area. Ryder and Flowers are called in when it does not appear to be an accident. The victim is from a local family, but has not been seen in town for many many years. As the investigation starts, they discover a family feud going back generations that could provide clues to solve the case. Or is it connected to the drug smuggling ring that DC Nerida Sterling is working undercover in town on?
I love how these characters work the cases so thoroughly and stop at nothing to get the result. Please Lee Christine, keep this series going on and on. They are page turners that always have me hooked and needing to know more.
Released in Australia February 2nd. Thank you to Allen and Unwin for my advanced copy of this book to read.
