As long as I cannot see them
bugs don’t bug me.
I discovered on of these climbing our front door
not long after we moved.
It was huge as far as I was concerned
and then it simply multiplied and I
had 20 or 30 smaller versions running around.
I had never seen anything like it previously.
Breakfast in the garden. Yuk!
This series I don’t mind as the garden
and all plant life benefits.
However, on the farm, because the house
was built circa 1920s or earlier.
At this time of year bees would find
any little crevice and invade our walls.
They even came down our chimney/flue
and we often had a small spring fire lit
when the temperature was
first hitting 30 degrees Celsius.
Here, in the garden is where they belong.

Book Review-Crimson-Lake
Crimson Lake
by
Candice Fox
Crimson Lake, by Candice Fox sees a then teenage girl convicted of murdering another teenage girl and an ex-cop accused of abducting and assaulting another teenage girl join forces in an interesting murder mystery set in Australia’s Far North Queensland’s city of Cairns. Although a convicted murderer Amanda is a licensed private investigator who takes ex-cop, Ted under her wing while they investigate local deaths.
Because Ted has been accused of abduction and assault (no conviction) of a teenage girl he draws a fair amount of attention from both do-gooders and two ageing cops who have not been promoted during their years of service. Ted wonders why the beat cops have not been promoted?
Amanda notices inconsistencies with Ted’s case and quietly looks into that, with fresh eyes. Together they try and solve a local disappearance which may have been murder or accident.
Narrator Lani Tupu does a good job of narrating Crimson Lake. His vocal range captures everyone from hot headed, disrespectful teenagers and Ted’s gravelly cadence, to the oozing slime generated by the aforementioned cops.
I thought Crimson Lake not quite a four star audio book. However, a half star for the narrator’s contribution and it scrambles into the four star category.
I have rated
Crimson Lake
as a
audio book.
Three and a half for the story
and half a star for
the narrator’s contribution.
Crimson Lake
can be purchased on-line at
Booktopia, Fishpond and Amazon
At the time of writing my review,
other Goodreads readers

Crimson Lake
an average of 3.98 stars
