The Shearers Wife

'Fleur McDonald weaves her magic once again . . . The Shearer's Wife is spellbinding.'

— Blue Wolf Reviews

'Another intelligent, poignant, engaging mystery from this great writer of small town Australian novels. Detective Dave Burrows is my hero!'

— Reading, Writing and Riesling

‘The Shearer’s Wife is a perfect weekend read. It was just the right book to sit down and read over a lazy Sunday afternoon. Fleur McDonald tells the story well, switching timelines just when the reader becomes desperate to know what’s happening with Rose (or Dave and Zara). It’s a great mix of police procedural entangled with the lives and consequences of regular people who find themselves in extraordinary situations.’

— Sam Still Reading

‘McDonald deftly captures the essence and pace of rural living and her characters feel like old friends. Grab a copy of this book, find yourself a hammock and a glass of something cold, and relax into this satisfying and enjoyable read.’
