Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book for an honest review.

A gentle Australian drama set in NSW telling the story of a young constable dealing with bolters and conflict between white settlers and local Aboriginal tribes. Not a difficult read and certainly one for fans of Colleen McCullough.

I'm a fan of West&Carlyle mysteries but I didn't like this stories as I found the characters a bit underdeveloped and the plot didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I received this from Netgalley.com.

A quick but not very compelling read. The characters were rather one-sided and immature.

New South Wales, Australia, 1820 Young and eager to prove himself, Matthew Bradbury accepts a post as a police constable in a dangerous district of a former convict colony. While tracking down a notorious gang, he is shadowed at every turn by a mysterious bounty hunter calling herself Nellie Chambers. After learning that Nellie is on the hunt for her lost child — seemingly stolen by the gang — Matthew vows to aid her in her search. But their mission is complicated when the unlikely pair find themselves increasingly drawn to one another. And despite his growing attraction to her, Matthew can’t shake the feeling that Nellie isn’t all that she seems…
This is the second book in this saga & takes place over thirty years after the first. Another well written page turner, which I read in a sitting. Strong characters & vivid descriptions had me engrossed. A lovely mix of intrigue, mystery & romance. I loved both Matthew & Nellie & loved how their relationship developed all set against a stunning backdrop. I look forward to the third part
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
