THE PAINTED SKY by Alice Campion

In December 2015 we read The Painted Sky



Nina never knew what happened to her father, the celebrated artist Jim Larkin. One minute he was her devoted dad, the next he disappeared without trace. Seventeen years later, she is still haunted by the mystery.

Until a call from outback Wandalla changes everything.

At first Nina's inheritance of a waterless property and a farmhouse stuffed with junk seems more like a burden than a gift. But this was her father's childhood home – and possibly her last chance to discover the truth.

So what is the local solicitor, Harrison Gray, not telling her as he hands over the keys? Why does the areas's wealthiest resident, Hilary Flint, seem to hate her so much? What is the significance of the gold locket with cryptic engravings that Nina always wears?

And why, on top of everything, is she inexplicably drawn to her soon–to–be–married neighbour, Heath Blackett.
