Reviews of Death Among The Dunes

‘Infante has been compared with Agatha Christie as a crime writer … (her) ability to capture the surroundings of the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast settings has gained her a number of British fans.’
Westside News, Brisbane

‘Clues are systematically laid down as the story is told – and very enjoyably, too.’
John Cokely, The Sunday Mail

 

 

Sleeve Notes:

When popular children’s author Micky Douglas takes his niece and nephew for a caravan holiday on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, he’s expecting nothing more exciting than three weeks of sun, sand and swimming. And he wouldn’t mind getting to know fellow camper Lorraine Marshall a little better, either.

The holiday begins to turn sour when the strangled body of a local teenage girl is uncovered by children digging in a sand dune. The police are confident that, despite an epidemic of summer ’flu, they can solve the murder quickly; until Micky, enjoying an early morning run on the beach, comes across the body of another local teenager.

Micky’s friend from Brisbane Homicide, Inspector Reeves, is called in, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is at large with two more victims are discovered.

Can the murderer really be one of the seemingly innocent holiday-makers? Micky can’t believe it, but he takes up the Inspector’s challenge to solve the murders. He has all the clues, yet he’s almost too late in putting them together as he battles frantically to save himself and his companion Lorraine and bring a dangerous murderer to justice.
