The Things She's Seen - Ambelin Kwaymullina (Paperback)

A fire of unknown origin and a dead body charred beyond recognition ought to set off some alarms. But the local police deem it a tragic accident and want to move on. The only ones investigating are Beth Teller and her father. And no one's listening to Beth.

Well, no one can actually hear Beth aside from her father. Not since she died.

But Beth is still here, and she sees things - things and people that others miss. Like Isobel Catching, a potential witness. Aboriginal by birth, like Beth, Isobel seems lost and isolated in the world; and the riddles she speaks in - tales of glass-eyed monsters and stolen girls - are easily disregarded. It will be up to Beth to see the truth. And to convince her father that something dark lies deep in the heart of this Australian town.
