Crimson Lake, by Sydney-based, Ned Kelly Award-winning author Candice Fox, is a thrilling contemporary crime novel set in Queensland, Australia, perfect for readers of authors like James Patterson, Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, and Tana French.

How do you move on when the world won’t let you?

12:46: Claire Bingley stands alone at a bus stop
12:47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her
12:52: The girl is missing . . .


Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time—that’s all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey’s life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction,Ted is now a free man—and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amidst the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.

There, Ted’s lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold-blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair's every move... and the town offers no place to hide.

I have read others in this series, but I had not read the first one where it all started. Ted Conkaffey was a cop working in the drug squad, married with a baby girl and in a matter of minutes it was all taken away from him. He was accused but not convicted of a young girls abduction, he spent eight months in prison, but there was not enough evidence so he was released. He escaped north to Crimson Lake, just outside Cairns. He meets Amanda Pharrell, who has set up as a Private Investigator, and she knows what it is to be an outcast as she was convicted of murder as a young girl. Her latest client is the wife of a missing author, Jake Scully. They are hampered by two cops who are constantly harnessing Ted, as well as the vigilantes and journalists that are harassing him. You can really feel the heat and humidity in the tropical region of Australia. A good read.

Excellent crime drama from Aussie Candice Fox. This is a beautifully written story with a compulsive narrative. The main characters are so complex and interesting and even the minor characters are remarkably well drawn.
