About this listen

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?

Good short book

I was enjoying the plot and where it was headed even with all of the different threads but then wham a tangent so woke and full on that the end lost its focus. it didn't feel authentic. It was almost as if most of the dialogue was a waste of time and the story ended on something I would not have chosen a book about. Shame as I was invested all the way through until the odd ending.

Frustrating Tangent
