A Darker Music is an incredible debut novel, quiet and dark, there is no happy ending. The stunning climax will haunt me for sometime yet.

Maris Morton has written a gripping tale of endurance and loss, a tale in which the errors of the past wreak havoc in the lives of all concerned.

An amazing story by an undoubtedly clever and erudite wordsmith. A very enjoyable read, and one which I highly recommend. What piqued my interest, is that it is written about an area of Western Australia in which I have worked ! I would like to read more of her work, but there appears to be very little around.

It was the last page that pushed this to a 4 star book and gave me a good laugh to boot. The language was a lot of fun just trying to figure out what the heck things were that they were talking about, lots of tongue twisting and quirky Australian words, sayings and phrases!
