Hard to believe we're already half way through 2020 (though to be honest, I, like most, will be glad to see the back end of 2020). Despite the hardships and difficulties many of us are going through, there is one thing which helps to provide a distraction from the weight of the world - books.
Being half way through the year, means I'm also at the half way mark of my 2020 Goodreads reading challenge (of 120 books). I'm happy to say I'm ahead, though my output is slowing in recent months.
In June I read 10 books with, as the above imagine suggests, The Bluffs by Kyle Perry being the pick of the bunch.
From the back of the book:
When a school group of teenage girls go missing in the remote wilderness of Tasmania’s Great Western Tiers, the people of Limestone Creek are immediately on alert. Not long ago, six young girls went missing in the area of those dangerous bluffs, and the legends of ‘the Hungry Man’ still haunt locals to this day.
Now, authorities can determine that the teacher, Eliza Ellis, was knocked unconscious, so someone on the mountain was up to foul play. Jordan Murphy, father of missing student Jasmine and the town’s local dealer, instantly becomes prime suspect, but Detective Con Badenhorst knows that in a town this size – with corrupt cops, small-town politics, and a teenage YouTube sensation – anyone could be hiding something, and bluffing comes second nature.
When a body is found, mauled, at the bottom of a cliff, suspicion turns to a wild animal – but that can’t explain why she, like all victims past and present, was discovered barefoot, with her shoes found nearby, laces neatly tied.
What happened up there on the bluffs? Somebody knows… unless the local legends are true…
