An enjoyable story by Janet Gover, who defines the Australian style so clearly and makes this book unique because of it. Great characters and wonderful descriptions.

Janet Gover has done it again!!!

I loved The Wild One and reading Little Girl Lost and going back to Coorah Creek is like visiting old friends. Characters I know and love pop into the story but the main focus is on Tia Walsh, Max Delaney, Sarah Travers and Peter Rankin.

Tia is working on the Goongalla Mines and trying to escape a dark past. She is broken but strong. Max was a big city cop transferred to outback Coorah Creek as punishment for sticking by his morals. He has high morals and a kind heart. Sarah is back in Coorah Creek as her father is ill. Will she stay or will the big city call her back? Peter is a truck driver who believes in doing the right thing only sometimes the right thing can be wrong for everyone.

What I love about Janet Gover’s stories is that the characters are such real people with problems and dreams that I can relate to.

Gover’s stories have a wonderful recurring theme of communities coming together in times of tragedy and for a common cause. In this story the town comes together when a little girl is lost in the national park.

Little Girl Lost has multiple storylines that interweave to produce a feel good novel that evokes many emotions and is very hard to put down.

Recommended for readers that enjoy their romance with a little mystery and suspense.
