Synopsis

Garry Hartshorn and Softie Monaghan were never love's young dream. Not even on their wedding day.

Softie was sophisticated, a career woman, who owned a nice apartment overlooking St Kilda Beach. Garry had a few rough edges, plus one failed marriage and an assortment of jobs under his belt. But Softie's body clock was ticking, and Garry wanted children ...

So they got married, and produced the only thing they ever had in common. Matilda. Now, two years later, their golden-haired child is at the centre of a bitter custody battle. Both parents insist that her well-being is the only thing they care about.

Yet, in truth, Matilda was always the one most likely to become lost.

What you don't hear about Child Murder 0 comments

EVERY single time you read a story in the newspaper about a child murder, you can be sure that the journalists know a great deal more than they are telling you. Most reporters feel sick about it. They want to tell the truth, the whole truth, but there are new laws that make it impossible in almost every circumstance to show the faces of young children who have been killed, or even to use their...

    Another cracking book by an Australian author who keeps getting better. It is a cliche put Caroline's books are hard to put down.

    This is not a normal genre I go for a good read... But once I started to read and the story just grab my thoughts and heart... I always look forward for that spare moment to keep reading and find out what happen next and how the story unfold. I love all the characters and the refreshing prespective. These characters you can related and identified with. I haven't read a book that I want to keep read every spare moment I've for so long. Thank you for the insights. I am glad someone told these undiscovered realities for so many who we may come across everyday,

    another great book by Caroline - keeps you hooked right to the end with twists and turns you'd never expect. This book was so realistic you wouldn't be suprised if it actually was real
