Better Reading Preview: Lyrebird by Jane Caro.
Twenty years ago, ornithology student Jessica Weston filmed a lyrebird mimicking the dying screams of a woman in the Barrington Tops National Park. Terrified, she took her recordings to the Maitland police to report a murder. Despite support from newly minted detective, Megan Blaxland, no one was reported missing in the area and no body found, so Jessica’s claims were mocked and dismissed.
Twenty years later, a body is unearthed. Exactly where Jessica said it would be.
Megan Blaxland, now a retired senior sergeant, is persuaded to return and lead the cold case investigation. The first thing she does is contact Jessica Weston, now an Associate Professor at Newcastle University.
Jessica and Megan both feel that they have let the dead woman down and are determined to find the killer, whatever it takes. But what they don’t realise is that they are not only putting themselves in danger, but those close to them . . .
