Summary: Most people in the small town of Dungirri have considered Morgan ‘Gil’ Gillespie a murderer for eighteen years, so he expects no welcome on his return. What he doesn’t expect is the discovery of a woman’s tortured body in the boot of his car, and new accusations of murder. Wearied by too many deaths and doubting her own skills, local police sergeant Kris Matthews isn’t sure whether Gil is a decent man wronged by life, or a brutal criminal she should be locking up. But she does know that he is not guilty of this murder – because she is his alibi . . .
Between organised crime, police corruption, and the hatred of a town, Gil has nowhere to hide. He needs to work out who’s behind the murder before his enemies realise that the one thing more punishing than putting him back in prison would be to harm the few people he cares about. Kris is determined to help him, but will their search for the truth make her the next target?
The first book, As Darkness Falls (review below) was great. This one was a little slower to get into. Still loved it though and am looking forward to more from this author.

Gemma, I love both of Bronwyn's books and have met her as she lives in Armidale. I'm hoping to have her do an event in the library along with some other local romance/mystery writers - sort of a girls night in. Can't wait for her next book either - she is currently working on it.
sounds good!
Awesome Sharon. She is like those other writers we both like. I've another one for you in my next post!
