About this listen

 Darwin, Summer, 1963.

The humidity sat heavy and thick over the town as Senior Constable Ned Potter looked down at a body that had been dragged from the shallow marshland. He didn't need a coroner to tell him this was a bad death. He didn't know then that this was only the first. Or that he was about to risk everything looking for answers.

Late one night, Charlotte Clark drove the long way home, thinking about how stuck she felt, a 23-year-old housewife, married to a cowboy who wasn't who she thought he was. The days ahead felt suffocating, living in a town where she was supposed to keep herself nice and wait for her husband to get home from the pub. Charlotte stopped the car, stepped out to breathe in the night air and looked out over the water to the tangled mangroves. She never heard a sound before the hand was around her mouth.

Both Charlotte and Ned are about to learn that the world they live in is full of secrets and that it takes courage to fight for what is right. But there are people who will do anything to protect themselves and sometimes courage is not enough to keep you safe.

STILL is an evocative, page-turning thriller from a brilliant Australian writer. If you loved THE DRY and SCRUBLANDS, you will love STILL. Crime Thrillers Fiction Historical Mystery Suspense Thriller Thriller & Suspense Crime Marriage

I loved this book, the atmospheric descriptions of the landscape fed my imagination and fascinated me and the characters were very true to their time which was central to the story. Beautifully read too. When I finished the book I immediately looked for another but was very disappointed to find no more by this author.i am eagerly anticipating the next one.

Still is a character-driven mystery in the vein of Jane Harper or Garry Disher, it’s slow and deliberate and the solution to the crime less interesting than the lives of the characters. The 60’s setting jarred a little as it wasn’t apparent apart from through some world events.

Slow-burn mystery

What a wonderful story, an engrossing depiction of the attitudes and prejudices of the era. Ned Potter is a superb character with very believable flaws but full of humanity and determination. I do hope Matt Nable has written other books, I shall definitely be seeking them out.

An engrossing novel

Unputdownable and the story unravelled in an unhurried fashion which makes the abrupt ending absolutely startling and only jarring note.

Wonderful evocation of Morthern Territory
