Joan Sauers - author of Echo Lake - talk and book signing - FREE event

A date for your diary! Joan Sauers is coming to Good Earth Bookshop to talk about her new book 'Echo Lake'.

All are welcome to this FREE event on Saturday 22 July at 11am. 

'Echo Lake' is a compulsive debut thriller that will haunt you long after you've turned the final page.

In the sleepy, scenic Southern Highlands of New South Wales, a beautiful young woman goes missing.

Six years later, recently divorced historian Rose McHugh leaves the city to start a new life in the Highlands and finds a roll of film buried in her back garden. On it are photos of the missing woman.

Against the advice of an enigmatic detective, she uses her powers of persuasion and her knack for deciphering clues to pursue the case. As Rose searches through tangled secrets and hidden places haunted by the past, she realises there is a killer at large.

As she makes new friends, and dangerous enemies, Rose closes in on a suspect—but will she solve the mystery too late to save herself?

Set in the atmospheric villages and forests of the Southern Highlands, Echo Lake is a compulsive read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
