Captivated by your most eloquent & descriptive work. B McN.
Yesterday, I downloaded your book from Amazon. I'm now totally absorbed. The Olympics can carry on without me, while I sit here in front of the fire and read. I am so enjoying the storyline and will consume this book in no time. MB
A mosaic of adventure, intrigue, and mystery, that carries the reader from the calm almost lyrical opening into a sudden surprising and shocking revelation, that sees the tranquility spin into a complex and exciting tale of secrets, crimes, and deceit spanning the decades. Highly recommended.

A beautifully written, intriguing tale of a woman's journey from certainty to dealing with complete disruption. The author's descriptions of Australian snowfields, London offices, country retreats and Moroccan mountains are evocative, her story compelling, and her characters constantly engaging.

A fascinating story that crosses decades and continents
The novel explores the damage done to those left behind when people go missing .. and the difficulty, yet restorative power of unburying family skeletons. The release in laying the past to rest, and the healing and hope for the future

Oh Wow! I started the book very early this morning, had to stop for some work, came back to it and now have to get ready to go out to dinner! I CAN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN. Half way through and can’t wait to get back to it when I get home tonight.
I’m enthralled.

Just finished reading Evelyn Cronk’s novel, and “Without Question” is a cracker!
As an aficionado of crime and political thrillers from Baldacci, Connelly, Grisham and Silva, I enjoyed this page turner with an exotic feminine twist, travelling from Yarra Glen to London, Geneva and Tangier to unravel the mysteries to the heroine's family past.
