Publisher's summary

"An outstanding debut-confident, compelling, with a surprise around every corner. I loved it." (Jane Harper, New York Times best-selling author of The Dry)

Producer Jack Quick knows how to frame a story. So says Curtis Wade, the subject of Jack's new true crime docuseries, convicted of a young woman's murder four years prior. In the eyes of Jack's viewers, flimsy evidence and police bias influenced the final verdict...even though, off screen, Jack himself has his doubts.

But when the series finale is wildly successful, a retrial sees Curtis walk free. And then another victim turns up dead.

To set things right, Jack goes back to the sleepy vineyard town where it all began, bent on discovering what really happened. Because behind the many stories he tells, the truth is Jack's last chance. He may have sprung a killer from jail, but he's also the one that can send him back.

Many diversions

I listen to this book in 2 days. Not being from Australia the accents were hard to get into but the story line kept me engaged. There are many twists so I didnt predict the ending.

A Best in Mysteries

This was one of the longer books I have listened to but I could not put it down. There was a twist and turn all the way through. The characters were so real. The story so spellbinding. Highly recommend.

What a Surprise!

Got a little confused right from the start. Little kids and then a tragedy and back to now. Then they bounced back and forth. would I read it again - probably not.

A little boring

Story was ok, felt a little long and drawn out. The narrator’s voice made me want to fall asleep instead of drawing me into the story.

The WHOLE thing is important

(As posted in GoodReads)
How complex and convoluted! As soon as you have it figured out, there's another change – and the epilogue is critical too.

Intriguing concept & location, poor execution

Intriguing and unique concept, but too long and convoluted. Male narrator gave a bad performance attempting female voice.

Absolutely fantastic.

This is one of the best books I've read / heard in a long time. The characters were well developed and nuanced, and the story was a really fascinating and meandering journey. I don't agree with the reviews that indicated it was too long - I loved the way the story unfolded and how the depths of the characters were gradually revealed.

pretty darn good

at one point or seemed as if the Who Done It question hardly mattered. the character study was much more important. but then there is a twist and who done it and why becomes central again. characters are well done and well revealed. good story.

Not Very Good

Too much self flagellation from the protagonist, I mean, it got boring! The minute his "acrobat" got mentioned, I zoned out. Also, I didn't care for the staccato and monotone narrator. It's almost good, but not. Skip it, since there are many better books out there.
