My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟
Opal Country by Chris Hammer is set in the Australian outback, where they have opal mines. There’s been a suspicious death, and so the police are investigating. This is a thriller, with lots of things going on.
This is a very atmospheric book, with the hard life of living in the Australian little communities shown very evocatively, with the secrets and weirdnesses, including a local cult.
Opal Country was published on 6th January 2022, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
You can follow Chris Hammer on his website.
You can read my review of Scrublands, also by Chris Hammer.
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Headline.
