I love Dave Burrows so much, this was a once sitting read, there was no way I was putting this one down till I got to the end, this is such a great story and takes in an issue that sadly is growing and it is done so well and Dave handles everything so well, I loved seeing Mia again and Kim and being in the town of Barker, another awesome read.
Sassie Stapleton grew up in Barker on a farm, bought up by her grandparents, she now is managing a feedlot in NSW, her uncle is now living on the farm with his young family and her loving grandparents are in a house in town, Pa has had a stroke and Granny is caring for him., Sassie gets a call from her uncle come home and quick her granny is unwell, but a kangaroo stops her from seeing her beloved granny.
Amber, Sassie’s mum moved away when Sassie was very young and is married and living in South Africa, she arrives home as well and the tensions are running high not only with Sassie but also Abe, Amber’s brother. The family need to organize care for Mr. Stapleton, Dave and Kim suggest a new woman n town Rasha she has moved from Sudan to make a better life for her two children, a meeting is held and Mr. Stapleton is very happy with Rasha but then suddenly he is found with bruising and is not communicating like he was, what has happened, who is hurting him and why?
Dave and Mia are called in, who could be hurting Pa, Sassie and Abe are beside themselves and then there is the missing items from the house, there is a lot of uncovering to do and the answers will shock the family. I loved this one from start to finish, the characters are so fabulous the story is well written and Dave has a few things happening in his personal life as well, more to come I am sure.
Thank you MS McDonald for another brilliant story, I look forward to the next book, I do highly recommend this one it is not to be missed.
My thanks to the publisher Allen & Unwin and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
