A desert highway. A remote town. A murder that won't stay hidden.

New Year's Eve, 1989. Eighteen-year-old Ingrid Mathers is hitchhiking her way to Alice Springs. Bored, hungover and separated from her friend, Joanne, she accepts a lift to the remote town of Cutters End.

July 2021. Detective Sergeant Mark Ariti is seconded to a recently reopened case, one in which he has a personal connection. Three decades ago, a burnt and broken body was discovered in scrub off the Stuart Highway, 300 kilometres south of Cutters End. Though ultimately ruled an accidental death, many people - including a high-profile celebrity - are convinced it was murder.

When Mark's interviews with the witnesses in the old case files go nowhere, he has no choice but to make the long journey up the highway to Cutters End.

And with the help of local Senior Constable Jagdeep Kaur, he soon learns that this death isn't the only unsolved case that hangs over the town....

Rural crime

If you love rural crime fiction you will love this book. The story really grabbed me particularly the second half which I finished in one sitting.

Adelaide based policeman , Mark Ariti is send to rural South Australia to investigate a historical crime. He had connections from his school days with some of witnesses. He ends up finding out a lot more than what he was looking for.

Another Australian author to look look out for !

Complex and satisfying Australian crime mystery

Reviewed in Australia on 27 January 2022

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book as it is the author's first crime mystery. I didn't expect a complex, polished, moving, laugh-inducing and suspenseful mystery that captured life in the Australian outback towns and the fear that stalks the highways. As well as being an entertaining read it is has a lot to say about serious issues. Hickey is an author to rival Garry Disher and Peter Temple in style, subject matter and the pure pleasure of reading a well-written mystery. Absolutely five star material.

Australian drama well written

Reviewed in Australia on 26 September 2021

This book has an interesting protagonist who is a bit flawed but still gets the job done. The plot covers over 30 years and there is enough to keep the reader guessing. It’s a bit of a slow burn but ultimately satisfying.

Rare Australian Crime story

Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2022

Good well woven plot, and plenty of description in the Australian landscape. A little slow moving in places but well linked together at the end. I would probably look at more books from Margaret Hickey as there are not too many Australian crime fiction books.

The way she captures the Australian landscape is outstanding. The vivid imagery reminded me of my own memories of roadtrips through small towns around Australia.

Great plot, but slow

Reviewed in the United States on 8 February 2022

I chose to read Cutters End while confined to the house during a raging blizzard and more to come. I always felt transported by the heat and atmosphere of Aussie outback noir thrillers. I noticed very few mentions of the heat and dryness, but the book was cluttered with Australian colloquialisms and references. Although I lived there for 3 years, I only understood a bit of the slang, and wonder how well the book would work outside that country.

The plot was well done and compelling, but I thought it was too slow-paced and stilted to be regarded as a thriller. This was a slow-burn novel that depicted a gruesome unsolved murder near the remote town of Cutters End thirty-two years earlier. The mystery was tantalizing, but the various strands did not flow smoothly. I felt there were too many unnecessary fillers, especially for junk food and beverages. Curried sausage legs? Is this a popular dish?

Sergeant Mark Arti, on home leave in Adelaide, is assigned a cold case that eventually leads him to the outback town of Cutters End. His marriage to a lawyer is dissolving. Two of the witnesses he interviewed were old girlfriends from High School who were backpacking near the death scene at that time. Reading the case file and witnesses' reports led to a dead end in his investigation. He joins up with police officer Jagdeep Kaur in Cutters Creek to look further into the case. In 1989, the, badly burned and broken body of Michael Denby was found near his vehicle. Denby, a local man, was considered a hero for saving the life of a famed TV personality and her mother during a flood. Denby's death was considered accidental, but she demands it to be exposed as murder. Police want it quickly resolved as an accident, and the case closed again.

Arti and Jagdeep discover some worrisome instances in the hero's past. It seems Denby's was not the only unsolved murder or disappearance in Cutters End. I thought the twists and revelations of what happened to Denby to be startling and horrifying. But was justice ever done? This should have been a terrific thriller but was not feeling the suspense and the resolution of the case bothered me. Cutters End is inclined to keep its secrets. I would have given 4 stars for the plot, but the story was too long and uneven for me.
