About this deal

The sections specific to bushfire were incredibly well realised, I could envisage it all unfolding, minute by minute, and it was entirely frightening to contemplate. Enduring the unbearable local heat, Jess is determined to prove that Adam did not murder Daisy… however, as she digs, she uncovers a lot more than she thought she would. A few months later Jesse was shocked to hear Adam had been found dead, but what she finds out next is unbelievable and she knows she needs to find out what happened because as far as she was concerned Adam Lawson was not capable of murder or was he. com crime fiction blog featuring reviews, author guest posts and other fabulous booky things (with the odd psychological thriller and horror novel making an appearance! I very much hope that Canticle Creek is the first book in a new series so I can watch Jesse’s character grow and perhaps get to see a little more of Danny too.

Canticle Creek was published by Ultimo Press on 8th June 2023 and is available in hardcover, paperback and digital formats. So much so, she found work for him and when the chips were down, Jesse stood up to the magistrate on Lawson’s behalf. I thought the mystery was quite original, and I loved most of the characters, especially Jesse and Possum.Canticle Creek by Australian author Adrian Hyland is a phenomenal read which had me intrigued right from the start to the end.

Three months later, Jesse hears about Adam’s death, from a car wreck after killing his own girlfriend Daisy in Canticle Creek, a small town near Melbourne. When young repeat offender Adam Lawson is brought before the magistrate yet again, Jesse steps up to convince the judge to release him into the care of her father, whose influence Jesse hopes can guide the lad. The language that resonates with the bush, that understands it, hears it, can read it, is a a treasure to read. Possum, who saw both victims before the fatal incident, says they was no sign of any trouble brewing, they were sober and in love. In Jesse Redpath, Adrian Hyland has created a character who is smart, determined and resilient and well able to take care of herself.The next day when Possum rides over to see Daisy she’s shocked to find that her friend has been brutally murdered. Trying to help likeable young tearaway Adam Lawson find a better future, Northern Territory police woman, Jesse Redpath convinced a judge to suspend his sentence provided he took a job at the local roadhouse and a room at her father’s house nearby. Supported in her determination by her father, they end up staying in the small artistic community that Daisy and Adam had lived in, digging into some dodgy logging practices, unearthing some suspect connections to Melbourne mobsters along the way. It’s not long before Jesse finds some inconsistencies in the case that seem to back her appraisal of Adam as innocent.

When at home in the Northern Territory of Kulara, Redpath works with Danny Jakamarra, an Aboriginal Community Police Officer. When I stumbled across a review of Canticle Creek on Kerrie's Mysteries in Paradise blog, I was stunned. Note: This story is worth a read to remind all Victorians, just how flammable the bush is around the fringes of urban and country areas and to always have their bushfire action plans in place!Constable Jesse Redpath is the officer in charge of the police station at Kulara, in Australia’s Northern Territory.
