Über diesen Titel

For forty-four years Stella Templeton has been a dutiful daughter and a good citizen living in Maidenville, population 2800, a town where nothing happens. Until one hot summer afternoon...

An ugly act has lifted the respectable skirts of Maidenville and mystery starts to surround the daughter of the local minister. Then the disappearance of a sixteen-year-old-boy adds to the neighbourhood's confusion. Does something sinister lurk behind the neatly trimmed hedges and white picket fences that divide this sleepy town? No one comes close to knowing the horrifying truth - but after forty-four years of self denial and duty, Stella Templeton is finally beginning to blossom.

Beschreibung von Audible

Joy Dettman’s Jacaranda Blue is a tense and startling novel about a small town that furtively holds a whole lot of secrets - secrets that begin to come out when a teenage boy disappears without a trace.

Voice actor Diedre Rubenstein has a warm, commanding voice, and displays great acting range in her performance of this gripping audiobook. Rubenstein has mastered a style of narration that is both authoritative and intimate, and her foray into Dettman’s dramatic work is successful, gripping, and eminently listenable.

Kritikerstimmen

"Exciting to the end." (Australian Good Taste)
"Dettman is brilliant at depicting the seemingly inconsequential murmurs of small-town life. A gripping small-town mystery." (The Sun Herald)
"Australian novelist Joy Dettman shows mastery of her craft with a gripping story that first presents as a rather predictable tale of life in a small Outback town. Within the first few pages, however, things become complicated, dark, and anything but predictable. Deidre Rubenstein's broad Aussie accent is easy on the ears and allows her to convincingly portray the main character, Stella Templeton, a minister's daughter on the verge of spinsterhood. Rubenstein adds a deft handling of pace and intensity to her facility with characters young and old, male and female. The story unfolds with increasing depth and drama, making for an audiobook that’s impossible to put down." (AudioFile Magazine)
