Canticle Creek by Adrian Hyland

4.0

Jesse Redpath isn’t from Canticle Creek. She’s a police officer stationed in the Northern Territory but she’s come to Canticle Creek to find out what happened to Adam Lawson whose wrecked car was found not far from the body of Daisy Baker. The whole town assumes that Adam killed her but Jesse doesn’t believe that Adam would have committed murder.

Adrian Hyland has so beautifully written about Australia and its many landscapes. The story is filled with suspense and a long list of characters who could have been involved. I really had no idea how it was all going to tie together. I hope in the future that Jesse will make another appearance, she was a great lead character.

Another fantastic Australian novel.
