The last in this series about Australia and its late 1700s history of the Bradbury family, Englishmen in this far flung continent. Well written historical fiction, well worth the read!

Victoria, Australia, 1850 & lawyer Jack Bradbury is called upon to travel to the newly established Colony of Victoria to defend a man wrongly accused of attempted murder during a confrontation between the authorities and a group of gold prospectors. Following his success he’s recruited by the miners’ leader to assist them in their battles against the colonial government and is joined in his new home by his wife and children. But Jack and his family soon find themselves caught up in the affairs of the Kelly family whose black sheep Edward, known to everyone as ‘Ned’, courts trouble wherever he goes.
This is the fourth book in the series following the Bradbury family. It could be read on its own but I love to read a series from the beginning. Another well written entertaining read, which I read in two sittings. The characters are well portrayed & have depth, the pace is good & never lagged& at times at me on the edge of my seat. An engrossing read, which I thoroughly enjoyed
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
