About this listen

 When a catastrophic wildfire suddenly rips through a woman’s hometown, she thinks she is lucky to have survived . . . until she finds a dead woman in her driveway, clutching a piece of paper with her name on it. . . .

The blaze came out of nowhere one summer afternoon, a wall of fire fed by blustering wind. Yet, somehow, Alison is alive. She rode out the fire on the damp tiles of her bathroom, her entire body swaddled in a wet woolen blanket. As flames crackled around her, the bitter char of eucalyptus settled in the back of her throat, each breath more desperate than the last.

The wildfire that devastated the Victoria countryside Alison calls home sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to obliterate her carefully constructed life. When Alison emerges from her sheltering place, she spots a soot-covered cherry red car in her driveway, and in it, a dead woman. Alison has never met Simone Arnold in her life . . . or so she thinks. So what is Simone doing here?

As Alison searches for answers across Australia’s scorched bushlands, she soon learns that the fire isn’t the only threat she’s facing. . . . Crime Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

Not the easiest listen, Alison the main character was complex & not always easy to relate to in terms of her actions. Although I did enjoy it & binge listened ,
I was gripped towards the end! I felt it would have tied everything together to have an 'in the future' chapter at the end to round everything off. Was Sal happy in the city? Did BIlly fall in love? Did Alison stay in her home town?

Complex main character!!
