About this ebook
A suspenseful novel of rural life and real country issues from our genuine Voice of the Outback, author of the bestselling Where the River Runs.
'Engaging, complex, enlightening and authentic ...' Mrs B's Book Reviews on Without a Doubt
When twenty-five-year-old journalist, Zara Ellison receives her mother's ominous text message, Call me when you can, Zara knows it's not good news.
Two weeks later, Zara has left her much-loved city life to relocate to Barker, the sleepy country town in which she grew up. For Zara, family comes first.
But she needs to work too, and the town's police force is a rural journalist's best source of information. Meeting Detective Dave Burrows and Dave's second-in-charge, Senior Constable Jack Higgins, is a priority.
Amid her family's troubles, and reporting on farming accidents and violently clashing activists, Zara is shocked to witness Jack Higgins in a role she'd never have believed. How could he possibly justify this? And what was she going to do about it?
Wrapped in the love of family, friendship, crime and mystery, Starting From Now is another compelling novel from the authentic voice of Fleur McDonald.
'Where the River Runs is a novel I highly recommend. This delightful cast of characters deliver a cracking story from start to finish.' Theresa Smith Writes
'Without a Doubt is another fabulous romantic suspense - high on the suspense - novel. I really enjoy Dave's character; he's a normal, down to earth guy, strong, tough and caring. Highly recommended. 5 stars.' Reading Writing and Riesling
