The Devil’s Eye by Ian Townsend Harper Collins
The Devil’s Eye by Ian Townsend Harper Collins
A forgotten fragment of Australia’s past inspires a powerful new novel from the author of Affection …It is the end of the nineteenth century, and one of the most powerful storms in history is born when a hurricane named Mahina moves across the Coral Sea.
To a remote part of the Queensland coast come the hundreds of sails of the northern pearling fleets and a native policeman trying to solve a murder. Nearly two thousand men, women and children are gathering around Cape Melville, right in the path of the storm that is about to cause Australia’s deadliest natural disaster.
Based on real events, this is the story of an unstoppable force of nature and the birth and death of an Australian dream.

Hello Booktaggers,
We think free books are great, we've been very grateful for the free books we've received from Publishers. I hope you are too :). If you've received a free book please write a review for it. We all want to know what you thought of the book (and it was a condition of receipt).
To write a review hover over the book and select Book info. Then on the Books profile page select Write a review from the menu next to the book image.
I look forward to hearing what you think of the books you've been reading lately.
Kind Regards,
Jeremy

Well, I only just got the book yesterday but given the intriguing characters seen in the first chapter of The Devil's Eye, I am certain that this period piece will be worth doing a podcast review about when I have finished reading it. I especially like the aging judge Douglas, who begins the tale in the middle of a family crisis. I will post an abridged review when I have finished, but it could take a while given that I also have another book to review.
