Description

Nat Spiller, an admired climate change activist, has accidentally drowned. That’s the police verdict. But was it an accident? His partner Ellie thinks otherwise. Pam, Ellie’s aunt, draws a reluctant Lauren Fraser into the mystery. The formidable Lloyd, Nat’s father, head of Spiller Developments, tells Lauren to butt out and it looks as if Nat’s brother Justin might follow through on Lloyd’s threats. But as Lauren investigates, suspects begin multiplying. Was it Harold the bird-watcher, envious of Nat’s charisma? Or Derek, whose shonky Antarctic climate science Nat was about to expose? Perhaps it was Rodger, obsessed with Ellie and wanting her for himself? Lauren enlists her circle of friends to help build the evidence for murder. The truth catches them all unawares.

Reviews

Praise for the first Lauren Fraser novel, The One That Got Away


‘A fun enjoyable story. A failed assassination attempt and a secret coverup. The investigation goes beyond the cold case … and takes on the people who are still around and willing to murder to cover their tracks. A ripping yarn.’ Radio New Zealand


 


‘A good yarn, very well plotted, and interesting characters.’ John Lapsley, Otago Daily Times


 


‘A good, fast paced read and I loved the political intrigue!’ Hon Grant Robertson, MP
