Resumen del Editor

When authorities fail to identify human remains uncovered after a cyclone ravages the Western Australian coastline, Martin and Claire are sent to Broome, a popular holiday destination, far from major population centers. Posing as new arrivals, the SOC agents (offshoot of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization) attempt to merge with the locals in an effort to solve the baffling case and bring the killer to justice.

Lulled by the soporific influences of the sun, sand and surf - known by the locals as the Serenade of Broome - time seems to have no meaning for the two agents, and the investigation drifts from one location to another as they follow a trail of bodies designed to confuse and distract them from their real business in this tropical paradise.

Little do they know, their every move is being watched by an enemy who is both ruthless and deadly. A powerful, sadistic enemy who enjoys toying with others' lives before dispatching them in the most horrifying manner imaginable. As the clues lead them first one way then the other, they fall deeper and deeper into the trap set for them.

By the time they uncover the truth, they will begin to doubt everything they know and face their greatest challenge to date.

Paranormal murder mystery

Set in Australia, this paranormal murder mystery will keep you entertained with an unusual mix of suspense and the supernatural. When a hurricane reveals an unidentified skeletal body, Claire and Martin (x-file type undercover agents) are sent in to investigate and become caught up in a much more complicated plot.
This is an entertaining story with suspense, murder, red herrings, magic and romance. The descriptive writing and the good narration give you visual images and the use of colloquialisms paired with the accent the narrator used, all added to the Australia feel of the story. Claire and Martin are interesting characters, but their romance seemed a little contrived to me. I also got the feeling that there was past history between the two of them and the antagonist, which, I found it a bit confusing as this is labeled as the first book in the series. Overall, this is an entertaining supernatural murder mystery that has also gives some interesting descriptions of the history, geography and culture of the area.

This audio-book is truly astounding!!

I highly recommended! This audio-book is truly astounding. I am completely happy with this audio-book. This audio-book entirely reasonable for all who like crime and thriller book. I exceptionally recommended this audio-book to everybody.

Not for me

The story is well developed, the characters are well drawn. By halfway through I found the gore and sex (although mostly left to the imagination) off-putting, and I found it very difficult to finish, even if I skipped over the icky bits. Maybe this should've been listed as paranormal horror rather than crime thriller.
