Two young bartenders are found dead in the Barking Fog Inn and it's up
to Crimson Lake's most notorious private detectives to take on the
case: disgraced former police detective Ted Conkaffey and convicted
murderer Amanda Pharell. Together they will work this case with DI Pip
Sweeney. Meanwhile, Ted is perhaps finally getting the chance to clear
his name from the kidnapping of a young girl.
The Crimson Lake series is
a favorite of mine. I loved the first book, but REDEMPTION POINT, is even better. For one thing, I
love the dynamic relationship between Ted and Amanda. Also, having
one of the main characters accused of being a pedophile (acquitted
because of lack of evidence) and being the most hated man in Australia
is unusual. Ted was at the wrong place and the wrong time and his
whole life were destroyed. His wife took their little daughter and left
him, and Amanda is one of few friends he has now. She's also a very,
very interesting character. She's the kind of annoying character that
you just can't help but love.
REDEMPTION POINT is an
engrossing page-turning crime novel. The only aspect that troubled me
while reading the book was the diary notes by the pedophile that were
interwoven into the story. Some things one just don't want to read
about. Otherwise, it's a fantastic book and I can't recommend this
series enough.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Candice Fox
delivers a compulsive new crime thriller in Redemption
Point.
When former police detective Ted Conkaffey was wrongly
accused of abducting Claire Bingley, he hoped the Queensland
rainforest town of Crimson Lake would be a good place to
disappear. But nowhere is safe from Claire's devastated father.
Dale Bingley has a brutal revenge plan all worked out - and
if Ted doesn't help find the real abductor, he'll be its
first casualty.
Meanwhile, in a dark roadside hovel called the Barking Frog
Inn, the bodies of two young bartenders lie on the
beer-sodden floor. It's Detective Inspector Pip Sweeney's
first homicide investigation - complicated by the arrival of
private detective Amanda Pharrell to 'assist' on the case.
Amanda's conviction for murder a decade ago has left her
with some odd behavioural traits, top-to-toe tatts - and a
keen eye for killers . . .
For Ted and Amanda, the hunt for the truth will draw them
into a violent dance with evil. Redemption is certainly on
the cards - but it may well cost them their lives . . .
