Summary

When a simple mix-up leaves their father Joe’s estate to Eden, their long-absent mother, Clare and Aaron decide it’s finally time to track Eden down. But it’s been over thirty years since she left their remote outback mining town, and they’ve never heard from her again.

Aaron is dealing with a new marriage that’s currently trapped in immigration limbo, and his teenage daughter Cady is clearly going through a personal crisis of her own. After decades away, Clare has flown home from New York for Joe’s funeral, leaving her high-powered job and her not-quite-fiancé behind for what she thinks will be a short trip.

Neither Aaron or Clare are prepared for a fight for their inheritance against the mother who abandoned them as children. As they dig through years of secrets and lies in their tiny community to uncover the truth about Eden and Joe, will they notice the more immediate danger that threatens their family?

Really enjoyed the characters

Great story from start to finish. Believable characters- even the ones who turned out to be ‘baddies’. Good length for holiday read. Real fan of the author. Narration was perfect too.

Enjoyable

Great storyline loved the characters and the narration. The story did go off in a different direction very quickly and I thought it might spoil the listen but the loose ends were all tied up nicely

Good short story

Nice, easy listen. Enjoyed this, as i have all caroline overington bookd. As the story is quite short I'm glad it came as part of my audible subscription & I didn't need to use any credits.

Can’t get enough of her!

Have been bingeing on Caroline’s books - a couple have been a bit below par but this one is excellent. Felt really invested in the characters… give it a go!

Enjoyable but lost it’s way

A well-narrated set of quite strange interwoven stories. It felt like the author had a long book in mind that she spent considerable time setting up for the reader, with long pieces given to the initial narrators Claire & her brother Arron. And yet the rather rushed conclusion is mainly about Claire’s niece Cady. I was taken by surprise by the sudden ending.
