Dead and Gone

Description

There's nothing more dangerous than revenge. Judi Westerholme has been through it. Brave and strong-willed, she's just about coping in her new role as foster parent to her orphaned niece, taking a job at the local pub to help make ends meet. Then the pub's landlord and Judi's friend, army veteran Pete 'Macca' Maccasfield, is murdered, and her world is suddenly turned upside down. Despite warnings from the city police to keep out of it, Judi can't help but get involved in the search for Macca's killer. But she soon becomes deeply entangled with some ruthlessly dangerous men. She must act fast and think smart to work out what they want - before anyone else gets hurt... Long buried secrets resurface in Sherryl Clark's pacey crime novel that pushes Judi Westerholme to her limits to protect the people she loves most.

Sherryl Clark has had 40 children's and YA books published in Australia, and several in the US and UK, plus collections of poetry and four verse novels. She has taught writing at Holmesglen TAFE and Victoria University. She recently completed a Master of Fine Arts program at Hamline University, Minnesota, and is now studying for a PhD in creative writing.

I really like the character of Judi. She is fiesty, fiery and forthright -- Leah Moyse * Reflections Of A Reader * Readers will be intrigued by many red herrings, and their interest maintained by the various twists and turns before the narrative reaches its unexpected and tense conclusion -- Nan Van Dissel * Blue Wolf Reviews * Dead and Gone is a classic whodunnit that is fast paced, thrilling and exciting read that will keep you glued to the pages * Once Upon a Time Book Blog * Dead And Gone kept me guessing throughout. Despite the number of crime novels I've read (not as many as some but still a fair amount) I would never have predicted the ending in a million years * A Knight's Reads * a jolly good read and a series with plenty of potential * Cheryl M-M's Book Blog *
