The Mud 2017 Mick Stone

Emily Lewis lives in an extraordinarily beautiful place. Her family home looks on to dunes running down across the golden sand of Ohope Beach, where gently rolling waves swing in melodically from the Pacific Ocean. Emily is instead drawn to Ohiwa Harbour hidden behind high-rises and multi-storied houses growing around the once tiny beach-side settlement. The waves of the op sea cannot wash away the secret Emily tries to hide in the mud of her life, until the truth surfaces when her mother is found with a knife in her back. 'The Mud' is the sequel to Mick Stone's novel 'The Last Newspaper in the World'. Mick Stone once more takes readers into the Bay of Plenty town of Whakatane, where relationships and tragic lives are set against the beauty of the place.
