Whisky Valley

A missing violinist. A rising flood. A race against time. Intrigue, music and danger collide in Whisky Valley.

After nearly being murdered last year, Rose McHugh battles anxiety as she uses her investigative skills to find her son’s best friend, a famous violinist who is missing along with his priceless violin.

As floodwaters rise, Rose uncovers secrets and lies among the missing man’s fellow musicians, as well as their patron and her enigmatic psychologist husband.

But when a body is found, can Rose shield her son from suspicion?

Review on Australian Rural & Regional News

‘When a book’s first chapter begins with the line; “The air vibrates with a scream” you can be pretty sure you’re about to read a murder mystery … The author provides relief from all the whodunit questions through some beautifully detailed explorations into human relationships … All in all this book has numerous different layers, sidesteps and subplots.’ Serena Kirby, Australian Rural & Regional News
