A Breath of Fresh Air in Australian Crime Fiction
In a genre often dominated by foreign crime detectives and agents, Clare Anne McGrory delivers an initially slow-burning, and emotionally charged literary thriller that soon leads to fast-paced action and explosive revelations. Best of all, it is all set right here in Australia.
This is not just another story of excitement about a distant land, it is about the here, the now, and the soon to be tomorrow. Topical, and yet sensitive to the very similar and real threats emerging all around our world right now, those drawn to embrace both the deeply personal, and the wider political picture, will find that this novel strikes a rare and resonant heart-felt chord.
A Story Told with Presence of Mind
The novel opens just as a central tragedy is beginning to unfold: the shock loss of a large passenger airliner. Finding out why it all happened, takes the reader on a journey in which they will enjoy the kind of suspense that seeps under the skin, and will be lingering on in their minds long after the final page is closed.
The Romance that Grows in the Midst of It All
At the heart of the novel is the burning attraction between Australian Federal Police Officer Brian and the elite female officer Elsie he gets partnered with to solve this perplexing mystery.
More Than Just a Mystery: A Journey into the Exploration of Our Own Identity and It’s Complex Interplay with Real International Power
For fans of smart, socially aware thrillers, The Sky’s Edge will be a fascinating read. It will likely be the most exciting Australian mystery you read all year.
Clare Anne McGrory has been described by readers of her other works as making “the characters feel so real”. Of another espionage themed novel penned by her, one reviewer said “the drama had me hooked from the start”. She is a Brisbane-based author, originally from Scotland, who has lived here for many years.
