After the tragic death of her husband in a light-plane accident, Gemma Sinclair is left with the daunting task of managing the vast outback station he has bequeathed her. But she remains haunted by Adam's dying words, not to mention persistent whispers that his death was not an accident.

I did enjoy the setting, the farm work, & the bit of insight into stock & station agency. The work is hard, the workers are on the go at all hours, but at least this area isn't in the midst of a gruelling drought & the wool clip is good.

Stock stealing, duffing, rustling... that's the name of the game. Billbinya, Gemma's property, seems to be involved somehow. Gemma isn't quite sure what's going on, & with her husband recently dead she's doing it on her own. The men in the area think she should pack it in & sell up but Gemma doesn't agree.

Interesting to read this author's debut novel - it's a bit simplistic with little character development & the romantic relationships lack chemistry, but I can see it shows promise. I'll have to read her latest to compare.
