Opal

DS Walker, Book 3

De: Patricia Wolf

Narrado por: Adam Fitzgerald

A small mining town. A brutal double murder. A killer among them.

DS Lucas Walker is out bush with his little sister Grace from Boston. They're fetching his cousin Blair, who's been mining boulder opal in Kanpara. The town is tense with rumours of a big opal find, and Blair wants out.

But Kanpara is in Channel Country, and when the three try to leave the next day, they find themselves completely cut off. A deluge far north has flooded the rivers overnight, making the roads impassable. Then Blair receives a shocking phone call.

Two bodies have been found, brutally murdered.

Trapped, with a killer in their midst, Walker is in a race to uncover the murderer before the water recedes. And when Blair is arrested by local police, the stakes couldn't be higher. With all his focus on clearing his cousin's name, will Walker see how much danger his sister is in before it's too late?©2024 Patricia Wolf (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

Excellent series

Well writen, really good characters and narration is excellent. The story is fast paced and holds your attention. Australian setting is special. Looking forward to next book in series.

Gripping

Such a good mystery! Narration was also perfect

I love this type of “outback noir” such a nice change

Another Great Story

I liked the author added another family of Walker’s, but he still seems a bit clueless to the danger he exposes others to. He could use a few lessons on work/life balance.

Excellent!!

I love all of her books, great description of the outback, great character development and the narration is over the top! I highly recommend.

Great Book

As good or better than the first two books in the series which are also great books

Awesome Aussie Thriller

Excellent narration, compelling, edge of your seat, story detailed description of setting, right you right on location

The chatcters

I loved the earlier ones in the series. This not so much. A little too long
