How do you move on when the world won’t let you?

12:46: Claire Bingley stands alone at a bus stop
12:47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her
12:52: The girl is missing . . .

Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time—that’s all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey’s life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction, Ted is now a free man—and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amidst the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.

There, Ted’s lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold-blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move . . . and the town offers no place to hide.

"Complex, human characters, and a dark, meaty story, and fine writing, and a great sense of place – this is one of the best crime thrillers of the year. Sign me up as a big-time Fox fan!" —Lee Child

Crimson Lake by Sydney-based, Ned Kelly award-winning author Candice Fox is a thrilling contemporary crime novel set in Queensland, Australia, perfect for listeners of authors like James Patterson, Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, and Tana French.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Euan Morton's gravelly voice and Australian accent embody Ted...Morton varies his delivery enough to differentiate between characters while staying firmly in character as Ted, a choice that works well with the story's first-person narrative. His excellent pacing and gripping delivery maintain tension ...and listeners will hope for more of Morton as Conkaffey." -AudioFile

"Two of the best times to pick up an audiobook are 1) when you want to get sucked into a great mystery, and 2) when you want to do a backstroke through an accent not your own. Candice Fox’s Crimson Lake series, set in the croc-infested north of Australia, lets you do both." -Paste Magazine, Best Audiobooks of 2018 (So Far)

Fantastic read

Wonderful! Now I need the next one to be released in this country. I'm waiting!

I'm looking forward to more.

It's very rare for me to read book series but I can write I'm looking forward to more from Candice Fox on Ted, Amanda and Woman. This story had me from Woman (read the book and you'll know what I mean). I've finished the book and it's still a toss up from me on who I liked most - Ted or Amanda. Right now it's both. What a great relationship. I also had no hint of the killer. I laughed out loud and went what??? more than a few times. I'm a fan.

Delightful

I enjoyed this book. The development of the main characters; How individuals can be broken or unacceptable by society and still move on to do good. I appreciate the lack of gore to introduce the crimes.
Well written, beautiful narrated
and very entertaining.

A must listen!

I got this as a daily deal and am only about 2 hours into this book - but, for just the language and lines spoken by the female character you MUST LISTEN. I laughed so hard about how one cat became 11 that I was crying.

Wonderful!

Loved everything about this book. Loved the narrator, and can't wait to listen to Redemption Point!

Outstanding

Couldn't stop reading it. Unusual lead characters who we sympathize with irresistibly, despite their odd background. Tense and dark, but sprinkled with enough diversion to give a rest between hard sections. Candice Fox is amazingly creative.

Great audio

Loved the writers style! Engaging storytelling with interesting characters. Bought the next book in the series immediately after.

Great narration and good story..

Like books that take me to new places..this time rural Australia. The author keeps the suspense of sketchy background of protagonists til the end.
Listened to the book because narration of Euan Morton who, as always, is captivating.

Awesome story!

I’m a mistery murder fan and this story nailed! Loved the fact that you don’t have one crime but 3!! Can’t wait for the next book!

The only thing that I didn’t like was the narrator. His voice was very unique BUT it was as hard to keep up to who was talking because he didn’t really try to do other voices... there are some exceptions with the female characters, but not quite. That’s the only thing.

a great find!

Completely different to your run of of mill mystery. The characters are well developed, believable.The setting is so real you feel as if u are there and the story is unexpected with twists and turns that surprise u. you won't be sorry if u buy this one!
