From the bestselling author of Thornwood House

When all that you know comes crashing down, do you run? Or face the truth?

Ruby Cardel has the semblance of a normal life - a loving boyfriend, a fulfilling career - but in one terrible moment, her life unravels. The discovery that the death of her sister, Jamie, was not an accident makes her question all she's known about herself and her past.

Travelling back home to Lyrebird Hill, Ruby begins to remember the year that has been forever blocked in her memory . . . Snatches of her childhood with beautiful Jamie, and Ruby's only friendship with the boy from the next property, a troubled foster kid.

Then Ruby uncovers a cache of ancient letters from a long-lost relative, Brenna Magavin, written from her cell in a Tasmanian gaol where she is imprisoned for murder. As she reads, Ruby discovers that her family line is littered with tragedy and violence.

Slowly, the gaps in Ruby's memory come to her. And as she pieces together the shards of truth, what she finally discovers will shock her to the core - about what happened to Jamie that fateful day, and how she died.

Came across this author, Anna romer, by accident. You know what it's like - a liked the look of the cover. That was Thornwood house, her first novel. Had to buy this one by the same author. This is an incredible story that takes you to different times and places. A little suspense, a little romance. Very well written and can't wait to read more of her novels.

I recently discovered Anna Romer's books when I read her latest "Beyond The Orchard". Lyrebird Hill is a story of family...secrets, danger and revelation. I have now read all three of Anna Romer's books and really love the atmosphere and feeling within the pages. I certainly look forward to reading more of her books and would recommend Lyrebird Hill and the other two books.

I will buy any novel this author writes. Lyrebird Hill is Anna Romer's second novel, and just like her debut Thornwood House, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. You can’t put it down, but at the same time you don't want it to end!
Another wonderful mystery full of unexpected twists. You'll be thinking about this story long after you've finished.
The dual narrative is so well done. The story lines are so captivating, I just couldn't decide which was my favourite timeline, flipping from modern day NSW to 1890's Tasmania. I loved them both as much as the other!
