Devil Tree Road
About this audiobook
Jasmine Apple has just moved into her new home in the Australian bush. But when property developers come knocking, followed closely by National Parks, will her new start become a false start?
Hardly 5 minutes after she moves into her new house - an inherited cement bunker like place nestled in the middle of nowhere in the Australian hinterland - National Parks come knocking accusing Jasmine of environmental crimes. It doesn't help things that National Parks worker Hugh Samson, with years of experience of entitled landowners, has an axe to grind and holds a mean grudge.
Hot on the heels of National Parks come the property developers. Jasmine discovers that a plot like hers is worth a packet to the right people. And money would come in handy now she has finally divorced her self absorbed ex husband and is bringing up their 5 year old son by herself.
Should she stay or go? Will the mystery around her fathers death help make up her mind or harden her resolve to stay?
Will she chuck it in and head back to where she came from? Or stay and face down the threats lining up to knock her down?
With themes of conservation, connection to place, community and beginning again, this is your must have holiday suspense read.
