In a small rural community north-west of Sydney, park ranger Cal Nyx finds a badly decomposed body in the bush. The remains are identified as someone she once knew, and the police are now treating her as a suspect. Determined to prove her innocence, Cal embarks upon a hunt for the real killer - but when it turns out the victim was wanted in relation to a previous murder, the case takes a complicated turn. With family issues bubbling away in the background, Cal starts to feel the heat. Then the police start probing into her private life, and she finds herself in a race against the clock to solve the crime. But the murderer has Cal in their sights, and she must make a choice - catch a killer, or do right by her family? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Nyx is living with plenty of family complications and skeletons in closets, which takes a probe of her personal life as part of the police investigation into murky territory indeed. There's a lot going on in THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD, perhaps too much, particularly early on as there is a lot of heavy lifting in the scene setting and introducing a cast of lots of characters. A complex plot at its heart, THE BEAUTIFUL DEAD also relies a bit on coincidences and connections to get lots of suspects, and a lot of motives lined up. It works in creating a lot of possible contenders, and a hefty dose of confusion, which was successful at some points, veering towards overcrowded at others.
None of which is all that terribly surprising in a debut novel, with a complicated, complex character at its heart. Certainly less surprising if we're heading into series territory here, for which there is plenty of potential, particularly with such a strong sense of place as well as an interesting central protagonist.
