Reviewed by Helen
Another fabulous story in this fabulous series that I am loving, the settings are fabulous and the characters who make up the O’Byrne family are fast becoming friends, we met them in book one in which Cat had her story this time it is Roisin’s, a lawyer who has left her job in the city and taken another one that will help protect The Darling River. Being home at Ceann Mara station is just what she needs.
Roisin has a lot on her mind when she arrives home firstly discovering what her ex-boss and partner is really like and how her life had turned around since she took on the job at Henderson Lawyers, divorce lawyers to celebrities she is determined to make changes and help the person who opened her eyes to her partner, arriving home to an empty house is strange but she soon finds out that her father has had an accident and this adds to her worries.
A few days later she is in Wilcannia to meet up with her new boss Seth Brodie and one thing is for sure Roisin is determined that there will be no more work place romances but they hit it off from the start and both start investigating water usage from the river but what they find does not make them happy is there a link somehow to one of the stations along the river her ex-boss?
As the days go by Seth and Roisin are growing closer but danger is also growing and protecting the river is perhaps getting a little dangerous the more they uncover could Roisin be in real danger as Seth and she uncover a corrupt business and Roisin is determined to get the answers and the evidence not matter what. This is a fast paced story that had me turning the pages, I also thoroughly enjoyed going back in time as the O’Byrne family dig deeper into the past and take us back to the 1850’s searching out more answers about their ancestors particularly Samuel O’Byrne and Ceann Mara.
This is a great story and one that I highly recommend, I can’t wait to read more in this series.
