How do you move on when the world won’t let you?
12:46: Claire Bingley stands alone at a bus stop
12:47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her
12:52: The girl is missing . . .Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time—that’s all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey’s life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction,Ted is now a free man—and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amidst the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
There, Ted’s lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold-blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair’s every move… and the town offers no place to hide.

I love the sound and look of this one! Thanks for sharing, and for hosting this event.
New to me author and book and it looks so interesting. I can't wait for your thoughts on it.
That blurb sure does pique my interest. And, yes, looking through my backlog and purposefully mentioning books that will work for this and for a challenge has been motivating to me as well. It helps to have everyone say it sounds good, too. 🙂
I think I've heard of this author and it definitely sounds like I would enjoy it. I hope you can work it into your schedule; I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Oh wow, this sounds like the exact kind of book I would impulse buy, ignore for several months, and then devour in a single sitting!
I hope you find .some time to read it but I know how that goes!
I have not read this book, but I HAVE read the third book in the series and just finished writing my review for it. I didn't realize it was third in a series, or I wouldn't have requested. And boy would I have been missing out! I loved it so much that I can't wait to go back and read the previous two books!
I hope you're able to get to this one soon, Carole.
I hope you fall in love with this book and sounds so fascinating!!
This sounds so interesting! I hope you enjoy it!

I want to know what you think of this one because it sounds like something I would like, but I have had a lot of disappointments lately with books I thought I would love!
I say nah, but I think it is for you
