This book sounded like it had so much potential and I wanted to love it, but unfortunately it fell short for me.

Unfolding largely from the perspectives of three characters, teacher Eliza Ellis, the father of a missing girl, Jordan Murphy, and the investigating detective, Con Badenhorst, the fast paced narrative builds tension and intrigue from the very first, hinting at deception, betrayal, corruption, and explosive secrets. When a school group of teenage girls goes missing in the remote wilderness of Tasmania’s Great Western Tiers, the people of Limestone Creek are immediately on alert. His work as a drug and alcohol counsellor informs the narrative, giving a strong sense of veracity to both the plot and the characters.We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities. Transferred from Sydney to the quiet of rural Tasmania, Badenhorst suffers from PTSD, which he keeps secret from co-workers. There are drugs, rivalries, murder, suicides, bullying, blackmail, inappropriate sexual relationships, many lies and deceptions and fearsome legends.

If you are looking for something eerie and atmospheric with a modern crime-fiction twist, then The Bluffs is for you. The local school of Limestone Creek organise a walking trip to the wildness of the Great Western Tiers. Another reason is the depth of the characters, other than Con and Murphy I really felt the other characters were flat and one-dimensional, especially Jasmine who I thought I would really like and someone we would follow the journey of.The Bluffs also caters to those seeking a truly VIP experience, with one additional locker room offering private access and separate dining and casual spaces. Kyle Perry is a counsellor who has worked extensively in high schools, youth shelters and drug rehabs. Make your evening extra special in our Rare Cask Room - an intimate space for private gatherings welcoming up to 15 guests will be sure to provide you with immense satisfaction and exceptional service. Thirty years earlier six girls vanished in these woodlands and gave rise to the legend of the Hungry Man who roams the area abducting young girls.

Spoil yourself and your guests with a range of culinary choices, from Vietnamese traditional picks to International favorites. Of course the MC is traumatised, which I actually *get* for a change, since it's because of his incompetence as a detective. Also, the readers of The Bluffs will understand the consequences in a small community of law enforcement and government corruption. The character perspectives primarily alternate between Eliza the teacher, Con the ‘incomer’ detective, and Murphy the local drug dealer and father of one of the missing girls: all have their own dramas going on aside from the current missing girls.Despite the constant element of surprise and never ending twists, not once did the plot loose plausibility; every single piece of the puzzle fit perfectly; a testament to a well written story.
