A Place to Start Over - Barrington Book Two. Australian based small town romance set in the Barrington Tops in New South Wales. The story is filled with warm country characters, strong friendships and quirky animals. From the author of Charlie's Will - Barrington Book One, some characters return, embracing the reader in a warm hug. Can one bad decision change your life? While recuperating from her biggest mistake, Harriet's had time to plan a fresh start, away from the city.

It's a long drive and she's only just beginning to heal, so she's booked a stopover at Barrington Homestead on the way. Harriet meets Drummond Murray on the road to Barrington. He's a cattle farmer and fifth generation local. Impeccable manners but not much warmth. She has no choice but to accept his assistance, but she's not keen to see him again. In contrast, Ben Evans is a local stock and station agent, good humoured, warm and welcoming. Except Harriet isn't looking for romance and she's keen to continue her journey north. When circumstances conspire to keep her in Barrington after months of feeling helpless, feeling needed strikes a chord. A cast of local characters and new friendships make her wonder if this might just be her place to start over.

Daughters of Eve
Author: Nina D. Campbell
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1761064061
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
An unputdownable feminist revenge thriller from a bold new voice in the genre. INTRODUCING A THRILLING NEW VOICE IN CRIME FICTION 'Fast paced, gripping and topical, without ever losing its heart, Daughters of Eve will have you questioning notions of justice and retribution, and just how far you would go to protect the ones you love.' - Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Before You Knew My Name 'Highly original...I was hooked from start to finish.' - Sara Foster, author of The Hush When a high-profile murder lands literally at her feet, Detective Emilia Hart sees a chance to expand her caseload beyond the endless succession of domestic violence matters she is forced to investigate. But this is no simple investigation. Another body turns up, then another. Then more - a lot more. All men, all shot, with a similar MO. It's not until a manifesto taking credit for the crimes is published by a group calling themselves Daughters of Eve that Hart confirms a link between the victims: all of them had been perpetrators themselves. All had offended against women or children. Few had been charged with those crimes - and none convicted. As panic sets in and chaos rules the streets, the police draw ever closer to the Daughters of Eve, but the serial killer continues to elude them. Again, Hart sees something that everyone else has missed. And what that is, she cannot believe. A stunning debut that will take you to the edge and dare you to look down. 'Strap in for a wild, fast and furious ride. A propulsive, addictive read that tackles big, real issues - add it to your "must read" pile immediately.' - Sarah Bailey, author of The Housemate 'With twists and turns that will keep you guessing, this is an electrifying, thought-provoking thriller.' - Petronella McGovern, author of Six Minutes 'Explosive and confronting. Nina D. Campbell is a new talent in crime fiction. One to be watched.' - Fleur McDonald, author of Deception Creek
