To the River



Buy from…

A compulsively readable psychological thriller from the award-winning author of After You Were Gone.

The Kelly family has always been trouble. When a fire in a remote caravan community kills nine people, including 17-year-old Sabine Kelly's mother and sister, Sabine confesses to the murders. Shortly after, she escapes custody and disappears. Recently made redundant from marriage, motherhood and her career, journalist Rachel Weirdermann has long suspected Sabine made her way back to the river—now, twelve years after the 'Caravan Murders', she has the time and the tenacity to corner a fugitive and land the story of the year.

Rachel's ambition lights the fuse leading to a brutal chain of events, and the web Sabine weaves will force Rachel to question everything she believes.Vikki Wakefield's compelling story is about class, corruption, love, loyalty, and the vindication of truth and justice. And a brave dog called Blue.

Praise for To the River

Blue, the wonderful dog companion, is a really fabulous secondary character…To The River builds up steam and draws the reader in, not least because of its sense of place. You can feel the hot, clammy Australian weather, the ebbs and flows of the river reflected in the way the story is told.

RNZ Nine to Noon

Sabine and Rachel find a semblance of common ground in their quests for vindication and justice. A hectic thriller with a dog one has to adore.
