Description
Write down something about yourself, as a mother, that worries you. Psychologist Isabel Harris has come to the outback town of Riley because her husband Dean is assessing the hospital-the hub of the community-with a view to closing it down. Isabel, mostly occupied with her toddler, will run a mother-baby therapy group. But on the first day she gets an anonymous note from one of the mothers- The baby killer is going to strike again. Soon. Then a series of small harassments begins. Is it an attempt to warn Dean off? Or could the threat be serious? A child was murdered in Riley once before. As Isabel discovers more about the mothers in her group, she begins to believe the twenty-five-year-old mystery of a baby's death may be the key to preventing another tragedy. "This mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat."--Buzzfeed, Best Australian Books Of 2015 (on Medea's Curse) "[A] well-informed, fast-paced look at the dangers in the child welfare system." Kirkus (on This I Would Kill For) "In The Long Shadow, Buist continues to impress with her smart brand of psychological thriller. A brooding story about small town secrets and the lies we tell to protect ourselves."--Emma Viskic, author of Resurrection Bay "Buist's own extensive background in psychiatry shines through."--Herald Sun "Suspenseful Aussie noir at its best."--New Idea
