Miles Off Course Zusammenfassung

Miles Off Course Sulari Gentill

It is 1933 and wealthy Australian artist Rowland Sinclair is enjoying a leisurely sojourn in the luxury Hydro Majestic Hotel in the Blue Mountains. As ever, he is accompanied by his entourage - a poet, a fellow painter and a brazen sculptress. The Depression-era troubles of the wider world seem far away; until long-time Sinclair family ally and employee Harry Simpson disappears.

Rowland must leave for the High Country to find Harry. He encounters resentful stockmen, dangerous gangsters and threatening belligerence all round. With his trusted friends' help, he uncovers a dark conspiracy which suddenly renders the beautiful Australian outback very sinister...

Sulari Gentill expertly weaves real events and personalities into her tension-fuelled murder mysteries which are sure to enthral lovers of deep intrigue and history.

Miles Off Course Bewertungen

The plot is a grand adventure with plenty of twists, turns and tight spots which held me glued to the pages throughout -- Elaine Tommaso * Goodreads *
The plot of Miles Off Course is a brightly splashed canvas, one that Gentill takes obvious delight in painting. This is the kind of book that is so fun to read that one can't help but feel that the author must have gotten a real kick out of writing it -- John Purcell * Booktopia *
Gentill's combination of factual events and places, built around the fictional undertakings of her cast of characters help to give the books a fantastic grounding, and a firm sense of place. Done, mind you, with the lightest of touches, and with the flair of a real storyteller, the books feel right and real and authentic, the stories are fast paced, nuanced, often funny, frequently insightful and just flat out darned good yarns. -- Karen Chisolm * Aust Crime Fiction *
This is a great romp in picturesque locations, but not without danger -- Patty Mac * Goodreads *
Just the right mix of humour, tension and history to make a delightful amateur detective tale. -- Imogen * Goodreads *
