Description
An isolated town with a dark past -
In secluded Devlins Reach, on the shores of the Hawkesbury River, three bodies are unearthed in an excavation site. When a wilderness expert, Park Ranger Taylor Bridges, is called in to assist local police, he soon discovers the town has an unsettling history one to match Taylor's own haunted past.
But the quiet location and picturesque beauty of The Reach are hiding something darker than Taylor could have anticipated. Within the town's tight-knit community of loggers, store owners and tight-lipped locals, someone is targeting the residents one by one.
As a torrential storm surges ever closer, and the river swells at the levee walls, The Reach goes into lockdown. With no way in or out, Taylor finds himself in a race against the power of nature to find a desperate killer before the whole town goes under.
'THE REACH, B. Michael Radburn's taut Australian rural thriller, is a skilfully woven tale of empathetic characters, vividly drawn locations and edge-of-your-seat tension. Don't make any other plans you'll have to read to the electrifying conclusion of this hunt for a killer in an isolated logging community.'

Thank you to NetGalley and Pantera Press for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review
This series is for fans of C.J. Box and Paul Doiron. The natural setting and Mother Nature are characters just as much as Park Ranger Taylor Bridges in this intricately woven mystery. When three bodies turn up at an archaeological dig, the case seems to be a cold one. And yet, it quickly heats up as Taylor works with a newly minted DS to try and figure out what a mysterious drawing means while racing against a severe weather pattern that cuts them off from precious resources.
Radburn truly brought the landscape alive and its ominous beauty was a significant part of this story. Not only was there the tension of multiple murders, but the added stress and drama of an impending storm cutting an already isolated town off even more from the modern world and all of its relatively safety. Secrets, storms, murder, and revenge all combine into a maelstrom of tensions and mystery that works very well and crafts a good read.
