About this listen

A haunting crime novel of two sisters - one has vanished, the other is behind bars....

Snow Delaney was born a generation and a world away from her sister, Agnes.

Until recently, neither even knew of the other's existence. They came together only for the reading of their father's will - when Snow discovered, to her horror, that she was not the sole beneficiary of his large estate.

Now Snow is in prison and Agnes is missing, disappeared in the eerie red dust that blanketed Sydney from dawn on September 23, 2009.

With no other family left, Snow turns to crime journalist Jack Fawcett, protesting her innocence in a series of defiant letters from prison. Has she been unfairly judged? Or will Jack's own research reveal a story even more shocking than the one Snow wants to tell?

Overington's brilliance is her restraint...

...And vice versa.

I'm not terribly interested in criminology or crime reporting, but I am grimly and endlessly fascinated by the flawed social machinery which manufactures criminals and victims, often interchangeably, and always with impunity.

Overington writes inside the blurred margins where everyone is to blame and no one is accountable.

Through shifting and cyclical POV, she creates an elegant literary democracy and eschews traditional black and white portraiture in the service of this democracy.

Forget that other franchise, the shades of grey offered here are perplexing, elegant and unerringly genuine.

Surprisingly good story

when I first started to listen, I didn't think I was going to like this story, but draws you in. I was not expecting the plot twist! the ending was also not what I expected, but it was fitting. Definitely recommend.

Ending was disappointing

While I really enjoyed the book, the ending left the story hanging out in limbo, which was a disappointment.

Ugh- the ending

It was a really GOOD story and very well narrated but the ending…. I was hoping for a different outcome.

Interesting perspectives,

I found this story captivating. I liked how the "criminal's" perspective of events were given and her lack of remorse. How she blamed everyone else. And the reporter's view differed.

Cliff hanger

Loved the book! Wish it didn’t leave us hanging… Is there a book 2??? I would love for Snow to answer Ruby’s letter!

Really good book, but not satisfying.

I do like the book, but the ending is so open. You get vested in the characters and their world but are then left hanging. Not enough clues to assess a possible conclusion. That part is frustrating.

Are you kidding with that ending?! Wouldn’t recommend this. Where is the other half of the story??

Not at all what I expected!

I do not want to spoil the surprises in this addictive tale, so all I will say is that this story had twists and turns I never saw coming!

interesting story

Endings don't always have to be what we expect. Life doesn't work that way. This was quite an interesting storyline and certainly never got boring. The narration was top notch.
