Dirt Creek by Hayley Scrivenor

Oooh - this was a great listen for a long car trip. We loved the narrator and the story (in spite of the tragic set-up). Twelve year-old Esther doesn't arrive home from school one Friday afternoon in small town Durton, Australia. Many complications and secrets come to light as Esther's parents, friends, the town, the local police and some out-of-town missing persons specialist police try to find out what happened to Esther. Most of the characters, both children and adult, have some intriguing back stories. This one kept us glued to our (car) seats.
