** For readers who enjoy Jane Harper's, The Dry** Sisters In Crime Davitt Awards short-listed 2022When a backyard dare to discover the source of a fabled waterhole uncovers human bones, small town detective, Marley West, leaps at the chance to kickstart his stalled career. But it's more than two decades since developers filled the Cowaramup creek. The woman who owned the land-the Ross family matriarch-has passed away. Relations between her sons, Jack and Bill, are colder than the case.Then the Ross family learn Marley is the grandson of notorious police sergeant, Alan West, the corrupt cop who once ruled the town with an iron fist. To solve the case, Marley must gain the trust of three people with no reason to trust each other and less reason to trust him: Bill, who left the love of his life to fight in Vietnam; charismatic Jack, who could always catch the eye of a pretty girl; and city school teacher, Annette, whose move to Cowaramup in 1966 would change the Ross brothers' lives forever.As he navigates a tangled web of lies and betrayals, jealousies and murder, Marley has to ask himself: are these bones better left buried?Praise for The Waterhole"The Waterhole is a captivating Australian crime thriller, right up there with Jane Harper and Chris Hammer.

Lily Malone is a journalist and freelance writer who discovered, after years of writing facts for a living, that writing romance is much more fun. She wrote His Brand of Beautiful after the birth of her second son, taking inspiration from the once - in - a - century - floods that filled Lake Eyre in outback South Australia in the summer of 2010 - 11. Lily juggles writing with the needs of a young family, and when she isn't writing, she likes gardening, walking, wine, and walking in gardens (sometimes with wine).
