ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. BASED ON REAL EVENTS. A refuge for the lost... or an incubator of hatred and revenge?Australia, Victoria. Detective Sergeant Eleanor Smith finally gets her first murder case. The body of a female local nurse has been found in Harrowford Hall, a shelter for unmarried mothers in the countryside; it is clear that she was poisoned. For decades, Harrowford Hall has been infamously known as a "shelter for girls in crisis." People like fourteen-year-old Jane McAvoy, who has no idea how she got pregnant. Or Marilyn Pollard, a scared, embittered teenage girl desperate to escape. Their parents, who were afraid of publicity, brought them here. But when Detective Smith arrives at the once majestic Gothic mansion, she discovers that it is almost empty — the orphanage is being urgently closed. But the overgrown cemetery nearby suggests to her that the poisoning of Nurse Chapman is not the first suspicious death in Harrowford Hall.… Where have all the "pupils" of this orphanage gone? And, most importantly, their children who were born here? It looks like the investigation won't be easy....____________________________________________________________"Exciting Page Turner". — New Idea"An amazing story full of murders and historical impotence of women. It is written from the perspective of three characters and is characterized by a fast-paced narrative." "Sisters in Crime" is an exciting detective story written with a scalpel—sharp pen. Jovart once again fills the fascinating criminal plot with literary subtlety. The result is one of the best detective novels I've read in recent years." — J. P. Pomare"A big and vivid story originating in dark times. A tale of lies and betrayal that will make you angry and keep you awake at night. Lyn Yowart is a writer to be reckoned with." — Hayley Scrivenor"Is a devilishly clever and surprisingly original book that reveals the secrets of a dirty world that have been hushed up until now. A fantastic sequel to the triumph of the Silent Listener, full of compelling characters and striking plot twists." — Ashley Blunt, "A poignant story of injustice and revenge. Lyn Yowart is an extraordinarily strong writer. I really liked it." — Margaret Hickey"Is as exciting as it is shocking novel. Lin Yowart has breathed such amazing life into this wonderful story that it is impossible to tear yourself away from it — and it will keep you in suspense until the most unpredictable ending." — Glenna Thomson "Jovart delivers a Gothic punch in the gut—creepy and incredibly smart. This novel gives a voice to a generation of women deprived of it. Brave, cruel and irresistible." — R. W. R. McDonald.
