I totally enjoyed this one. Clarke is quintessentially Aussie, depicting a mystery in a suburban street in regional Australia. There is a wonderful array of neighbours, each with laconic humour and their own opinions regarding the disappearance of Ginny Lawson. There’s lots to like about this novel.

The characters were sweet, but the plotting of the mystery was a bit disappointing. Also some unnecessary vicissitude.

I enjoyed the depth and complexity of the characters and how their stories intertwined .
I great read and while the ending was a neat package , I found that I was left wanting more , more questions answered and more exploration of the relationships that had developed between the characters , 4 stars still loved it and still would recommend
