From the publisher of The Dressmaker, a crime novel set in a country town full of landscape and memory.
Bella Greaves is semi-retired and edit's Katoomba's local newspaper. She is content but just a little bored.
When disgraced homicide detective Paul Ruel is exiled to the Mountains, his superiors expect him to resign from frustration. Then he uncovers a crime that has been covered up for years, and turns to Bella for help.
She finds Paul just as intriguing as the investigation.
"It has come to my attention there is a detective active in the Blue Mountains with certain similarities to myself. Obviously we are completely different people, although I admire his taste in suits." – Gary Jubelin, former Detective Chief Inspector
A very easy read but I struggled to take this book seriously. I compare it to a romance novel in terms of complexity. As a local, I was part amused and part horrified at the references to local characters. Stereotypes with little depth or complexity.
Finally, the Blue Mountains is the scene for a delicious tale of adventure, mystery and a murder or two, that had me hankering to drive on up and scout out the local area again. A fun read and am keen to see more in this instalment. Yes please!
I'm absolutely flattered that Michael Duffy has written a book about some of my adventures in our little town. I never thought when I first spoke to him that he'd be so interested as to record some of Katoomba's dark secrets. About time!
What an amazing night of music. We laughed, we pondered, and we felt the challenges that life brings us with these two wonderful songwriter/performers. 5 stars all round.
A rather chunky text with some fabulous ideas and highly informative explanations/ introductions. A colleague brought this book to my attention and I borrowed her copy. I had only read approx a quarter and decided that I needed my very own copy. This book needs time, focus and attention to be fully appreciated, absorbed and put into practice. I am definitely looking forward to learning more about creative ways to support mine and my children's mental health AND to encorporating suggestions from the authors into my daily/weekly/monthly routine. So far, the creative processes I have read about seem reasonably easy to implement. I think every household would benefit from this book!
I am so happy with this book shop and the ability to be able to buy online vouchers. They were helpful and friendly when needed.
The Wheel of the Year An Illustrated Guide to Nature's Rhythms is the perfect book for connecting in with the seasons and I know it will be a staple in our home for many years to come. So many gorgeous activities, information and wonderful illustrations, you really can't go wrong. I also love supporting independent business, and the Little Lost Bookshop offered delightful service!
