What to expect
Already struggling to juggle co-running Candlebark's pub/bistro along with her new childcare responsibilities, the last thing Judi Westerholme needs right now is more stress. Yet, as usual, it arrives in spades: she starts receiving threatening late-night phone calls before discovering one of her best employees, Kate, shot dead in her bed. Once again, Judi finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation, as well as the hunt for Kate's fourteen-year-old daughter who has been missing since the murder. Add in the uncertainty of her relationship with D.S. Heath and the fact that her estranged mother's nursing home keeps calling to urge her to visit, and Judi might finally be at breaking point . . .

This was a fun listen! Nice to have a contemporary Australian cosy crime novel set in a country town. Narration pretty good too. The four-star rating rather than five stars is because the main character seemed a bit slow to catch on to fairly obvious clues - it's never great for the reader to pick up on these before the amateur detective! - and also because the teenage character is a bit whiny, and this can grate on the ears after a while. Thankfully the main character eventually tells the teenager to get a grip, so it doesn't go on for too long. Overall, though, it's an enjoyable story and well narrated.
