Never Never is the second book in the Harriet Blue detective series. Harriet, always known as "Harry," Blue is a top-notch sex crimes investigator in Sydney, Australia.

Plot

When Harry's brother is arrested for the murders of three young women, her boss needs to get the mercurial Harry away "for her own good" from Sydney and a merciless press. She is assigned to a mining camp in Western Australia with a new partner from Perth to solve the disappearance of a young miner. Soon this disappearance turns into more and Harry finds she can trust no one, not even her partner, in her new rough and tumble surroundings.[2]

Reviews

The AustCrime website likes this book with some reservations. Incidentally, it was available in Australia much earlier than it was in the U.S. The review on AustCrime said, "Never Never is a paint-by-numbers thriller, one that clearly comes from the type of book factory that can turn out a number of “co-authored” novels per year. But it is enjoyable for what it is and thriller fans will be kept happy as the pages turn."[3]
