A novel filled with twists, surprises, and a plot that keeps you guessing. ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN is not to be missed." --Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling a uthor of PRETTY GIRLS "Fascinating and at times shocking, ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN is one book you won't easily forget." --Mary Kubica, author of The Good Girl You can erase the memory. But you cannot erase the crime. Jenny's wounds have healed. An experimental treatment has removed the memory of a horrific and degrading attack. She is moving on with her life. That was the plan. Except it's not working out. Something has gone. The light in her eyes. And something was left behind. A scar. On her lower back. Which she can't stop touching. And she's getting worse. Not to mention that her father is obsessed with finding her attacker and her mother is in toxic denial. It may be that the only way to uncover what's wrong is to help Jenny recover her memory. But even if it can be done, pulling at the threads of her suppressed experience will unravel much more than the truth about her attack. And that could destroy as much as it heals... ...Show more

The Night Whistler by Greg Woodland

Category: CRIME

Are you lonesome tonight... It's 1966. Hal and his little brother, newly arrived in Moorabool with their parents, are exploring the creek near their new home when they find the body of a dog. Not just dead, but recently killed. Not just killed, but mutilated. Constable Mick Goodenough, recently demoted from his city job as a detective, is also new in town--and one of his dogs has gone missing. He's experienced enough to know what it means when someone tortures an animal to death: it means they're practising. So when Hal's mother starts getting anonymous calls--a man whistling, then hanging up--Goodenough, alone among the Moorabool cops, takes her seriously. The question is: will that be enough to keep her safe? Nostalgic yet clear-eyed, simmering with small-town menace, Greg Woodland's wildly impressive debut populates the rural Australia of the 1960s with memorable characters and almost unbearable tension. ...Show more
