Summary: Several inter-twining stories, including Sarah and her daughter Marni who are living on the breadline until an unexpected lottery win catapults them into financial freedom; the Detective who is investigating a series of abductions; and a smarmy barrister. All who end up coming together in a fairly unlikely scenario. All loose ends are neatly tied together with a ‘happy-ever-after’ ending.
Thoughts: I’ve read all of Joy Dettman’s books. Her first few were amazing – detailed, insightful, unexpected. Jacaranda Blue remains one of my favourites. But her Woody Creek series was too much. If she’d stopped after the first two or three, then fine. But to continue on a long-winded, rambling, completely unbelievable and ridiculous story… She lost me after that, so I read this with some trepidation. A light, fluffy, easy read. Don’t expect to be kept awake with deep thoughts afterwards.
