Book review: Whisky Valley by Joan Sauers
Whisky Valley by Joan Sauers is the second in the enjoyable series featuring semi-retired historian Rose McHugh. In my review of the first book in the series, Echo Lake, I commented that—as an historian and a background in research—she’s a feasible amateur (citizen) detective. Sauers also reintroduces characters from the first book, including Rose’s son Sam and her sister Kim, and local friends George and Detective Inspector Joe Blackmore and his wife Grace. I also commented on [Echo Lake] being an atmospheric read, based in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, and again here the song sense of ‘place’ resonates.
