Menace and mystery within a close-knit rural community reminiscent of Jasper Jones and Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go, Bernadette? It wasn't just one person who went missing, it was two people. Two very different people. They were there, and then they were gone, as if from a crack in the sky. After that, in a small town like Goodwood, where we had what Nan called 'a high density of acquaintanceship', everything stopped. Or at least it felt that way. The normal feeling of things stopped. Goodwood is a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone. It's a place where it's impossible to keep a secret. In 1992, when Jean Brown is seventeen, a terrible thing happens. Two terrible things. Rosie White, the coolest girl in town, vanishes overnight. One week later, Goodwood's most popular resident, Bart McDonald, sets off on a fishing trip and never comes home. Praise for Goodwood People die in Goodwood, of course, but never like this. They don't just disappear. 4.5/5 stars ‘laconic wit and As the intensity of speculation about the fates of Rosie and Bart heightens, Jean, deft plotting… a touching who is keeping secrets of her own, and the rest of Goodwood are left reeling. sense of nostalgia.’ – Books + Publishing Rich in character and complexity, its humour both droll and tender, Goodwood is a compelling ride into a small community, torn apart by dark rumours and mystery.

Rose was lit by the sun, her beautiful face giving nothing away. Her elegant hands diligently making notes, her writing perfect compared to my own crude scrawl. Even back then, she was a mystery that I wanted to solve. Detective Sergeant Gemma Woodstock is a lead homicide investigator in the large rural town of Smithson. As Gemma views the body of her old school friend Rosalind Ryan, splayed open on the autopsy table, she suffers the same feeling of inscrutability that has coloured her relationship with Rose for so long. And Gemma is hiding her own secrets. She has a young four-year-old son, Ben, and has recently moved in with the boy’s father, Scott. But the relationship is troubled and she is having an affair with a colleague that she works closely with, Felix, who is married with two teenage daughters. She knows that Rosalind recently moved back to Smithson to teach drama at their old school, but Gemma had not made contact and now she wonders why the incendiary Rose really came back to this country town? Rose lives alone in a small run-down apartment, even though her father is one of the town’s richest men. She is a loner but as the novel unfolds we realise what drives Rosalind is her love of drama and the need to be loved, and not only to be loved, but to be adored. SARAH BAILEY has a degree in journalism and has worked in advertising. She is the mother of two young children and lives in Melbourne. The Dark Lake is her first novel.

Power has to be exercised or it does not exist. It must be done to us. By you. It's one way. But watching, that goes both ways. You watch us: for control, for survival, for pleasure. We watch you: for survival, for fear, for love.
