"Canticle Creek had me gripped from beginning to end. I hope this is the start of a series as I'll be looking out for the next Jesse Redpath book."
Canticle Creek had me gripped from beginning to end and I was reluctant to put it down for a break. This tension-filled crime thriller is an easy read, with descriptions that flow naturally off the pages, characters to love (and hate), witty authentic dialogue, and a plot that builds and intrigues. I loved the harshness of the Australian setting against the backdrop of art and conservation. Certain scenes (no spoilers) left me struggling to breathe - I could feel the heat, the closeness, the danger... This engaging murder mystery has an array of potential suspects, despite the small, close-knit community, and I struggled to eliminate them all. Jesse Redpath is a strong female lead (tough but caring) surrounded by a well-sculpted supporting cast, so I hope this is the start of a series as I'll be looking out for the next Jesse Redpath book.
