He captured feelings and moments, made your heart race when they were getting close. It was clear he lived in the story with Jake and August and drew the listener into the story with his melodic and captivating voice. Everything from the pacing and enunciation was spot on. There were so many things I loved with Ferguson’s narration or performance. But to my untrained ears it was brilliant and I will gladly listen to many more of his productions in the future. Now I say this as a non-native English/Aussie speaker, so make of that what you will. I loved Ferguson’s accent, it did so much for the feel and authenticity of the book. The two set out to bring justice for all the men who were murdered and are set to take them down, no matter who stands in their way. That is until Jacob Porter discovers a body in his territory and calls Shaw for help. A serial killer no one but him believes exists. We follow August Shaw, a cold case detective who’s been hunting a serial killer for years. It really came alive in a way that I can’t fully describe.

And listening to Antony Ferguson performing it made it so much more. I loved everything about it, the mystery, the characters and the thrill of the hunt. Tallowwood is definitely at the top of my ever growing list of favourites by N.R. I’ve been on cloud nine all day listening to this book. But when the body of a fellow police officer turns up under the same MO, it can't be ignored anymore.Īugust and Jake must trace the untraceable before the killer takes his next victim or before he stops one of them, permanently. Even when more remains are found, they can't seem to gain ground. With Jacob now firmly in August's corner, they face one hurdle after another. When human remains are found in the camping grounds at Tallowwood Reserve, Jake's new case turns out to be linked to August's cold cases, and Jake agrees they're not suicides at all.

He runs summer camps for the local Indigenous kids, plays rugby with his mates, has a close family, and he's the local LGBTQIA+ Liaison and the Indigenous Liaison Officer. Senior Constable Jacob Porter loves his life in the small town of Tallowwood in northern New South Wales. His work is his entire life, and he's convinced a string of unsolved cold-case suicides are linked to what could be Australia's worst ever serial killer. Sydney Detective August Shaw has spent the last decade of work solving cold cases. Cold cases, murder, lies, and an unimaginable truth.
