    Dirt Creek: 10

    Welcome back to Season 10 of Case Closed. We're starting the year with Hayley Scrivenor’s Dirt Creek, a small-town mystery with ‘sharp-edged tempers, accidents waiting to happen, and dark inheritances’. You won’t want to miss this one.

    Who's lying about what happened at Dirt Creek?

    When twelve-year-old Esther disappears on the way home from school in a small town in rural Australia, the community is thrown into a maelstrom of suspicion and grief. As Detective Sergeant Sarah Michaels arrives in town during the hottest spring in decades and begins her investigation, Esther’s tenacious best friend, Ronnie, is determined to find Esther and bring her home.

    When schoolfriend Lewis tells Ronnie that he saw Esther with a strange man at the creek the afternoon she went missing, Ronnie feels she is one step closer to finding her. But why is Lewis refusing to speak to the police? And who else is lying about how much they know about what has happened to Esther?

    Punctuated by a Greek chorus, which gives voice to the remaining children of the small, dying town, this novel explores the ties that bind, what we try and leave behind us, and what we can never outrun, while never losing sight of the question of what happened to Esther, and what her loss does to a whole town.

    We’ll release two new episodes every week beginning January 21st! Make sure to subscribe to Case Closed to get notified each week as episodes drop. We don't want you to miss anything. Be sure to listen or download by March 6th so you can hear the whole twisty story. Can't wait until next week? You can find Dirt Creek, read by Sophie Loughran, wherever audiobooks are sold.
