Abstract:

Detective Harriet Blue of the Sydney Police Department prides herself on an uncanny ability to catch the most deviant of criminals. So when her brother is charged with a brutal string of murders, it rocks her world. Shocked, in denial, and facing uncomfortable questions about how much she knew, Harry is transferred to avoid the media circus. Investigating the disappearance of a worker in an isolated mine deep inside the desolate Australian outback -- the Never Never -- she uncovers an insular society that has sprung up around the mine. It's a world full of easy money, plenty of immoral ways to spend it, and no shortage of suspects. Still reeling from her investigative failures back home, Harry must get to the bottom of the mine's mysteries before she vanishes into the wilds of the never never for good.

Library Journal Review

Respected sex crimes cop Harry Blue is rocked to her core when her brother is arrested and charged with the murders of three young women. To keep her out of the way, she is transferred to what she considers the middle of nowhere to investigate a missing persons case. However, that doesn't stop Harry from working her brother's probe, all the while sidestepping a new partner she doesn't trust and exposing the dark secrets of her new post. Listening to this title was not a particularly satisfying experience. While the audio production is good, narrator Federay Holmes's performance is rather flat and monotone, making it difficult to discern all of the characters. Verdict Despite short chapters and concise writing, the story isn't especially compelling.-Nicole A. Cooke, SIS, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign © Copyright 2017.
