This book got in my blood and ebbed and flowed like the Australian river Sabine Kelly lived on. It ran through her veins and I too felt a part of that life. The story was gripping beyond words. Once I started reading it, I was hooked and didn’t expect such a powerful, heartfelt and emotional tale. 

 

The beautiful and stunning scenery, the nature of river life and the feelings of the characters involved, were depicted perfectly and each scene played out vividly in my mind. 

 

Sabine’s story was truly a sad one and my heart bled for her at how she had to live a life on the run after such an abusive childhood. She met her match in Rachel, a freelance journalist but together, using their own reasons for the investigation, they set out to solve the crime Sabine is accused of thirteen years ago. Highlighting corrupt police, criminal injustice, cover ups and the betrayal by the upper echelons of society who you believe are there to protect you, makes this story an intriguing read. 

 

Not forgetting the real heroes of the day, Blue - Sabine’s dog and ‘Pop’ -Sabine’s grandad with his own back history and health issues, these two combined to make the story a brilliant family affair looking out for Sabine and it’s genuinely taken me a few days to stop thinking of them all and create a review to hopefully do “To the River” justice.
