Learn more about the book and the author below, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the end of this post:
Crimson Lake, by Sydney-based, Ned Kelly Award-winning author Candice Fox, is a thrilling contemporary crime novel set in Queensland, Australia, perfect for readers of authors like James Patterson, Harlan Coben, Lisa Gardner, and Tana French.
How do you move on when the world won’t let you?
12:46: Claire Bingleystands alone at a bus stop
12:47: Ted Conkaffey parks his car beside her
12:52: The girl is missing . . .Six minutes in the wrong place at the wrong time—that’s all it took to ruin Sydney detective Ted Conkaffey’s life. Accused but not convicted of a brutal abduction,Ted is now a free man—and public enemy number one. Maintaining his innocence, he flees north to keep a low profile amidst the steamy, croc-infested wetlands of Crimson Lake.
There, Ted’s lawyer introduces him to eccentric private investigator Amanda Pharrell, herself a convicted murderer. Not entirely convinced Amanda is a cold-blooded killer, Ted agrees to help with her investigation, a case full of deception and obsession, while secretly digging into her troubled past. The residents of Crimson Lake are watching the pair’s every move . . . and the town offers no place to hide.

I think the setting makes this really appealing. There are just so many scary and poisonous things in Australia, I’d love to see if any of them show up:-)
Sounds really good!

It does, next time I’m in the mood for a thriller…
This is sounds interesting! I especially like the “croc-infested wetlands” part! 🙂
I’m a little scared about that part, but I’m sure it will make the story that much more interesting:-)
Sounds intriguing – I find myself more and more interested in crime novels.

Me too, especially after I read a really good one.
This sounds interesting!!
It does sound good, I wish I had more time to read it:-)
Every so often I enjoy something outside the speculative genres, and this looks like an entertaining read. I love books set in locations I’m less familiar with especially when the author is very familiar with them. I get to learn a little about the location/culture while being entertained by the story.
I agree, it’s a nice change of pace to read thrillers every now and then:-)
Pretty cool giveaway! I’ve seen the cover around, but you’re definitely making me wonder if it’s as good as it sounds! Thanks for hosting! 😀

Nice, I haven’t heard of this one. I should pay more attention to stuff from Forge, they put out some great suspense thrillers 🙂
