Review No 4 - Nurses Of The Outback by Annabelle Brayley

14/4/2014

2 Comments

 
Following on from her first book Bush Nurses, Annabelle Brayley has again placed the spotlight on the amazing men and women who choose to work in some of the most remote areas in Australia, if not the world. Nurses of the Outback follows the journey of several of these dedicated health professionals.

Although they are up against many odds such as extreme heat and dust, very limited resources and equipment and lack of support from other medical staff each of the nurses profiled have found the niche in the outback. Medical services in extremely isolated places are often the focus of the community and as such Outback Nurses are often on call for weeks on end and struggle to take holidays as there is nobody to replace them. Yet despite these hardships, all the nurses have willingly worked tirelessly to maintain and improve health services to those who need them most.

Elly Cartwright has nothing more on her mind that a quiet night in away from the Melbourne chill when the shocking murder of her elderly neighbour shatters her world completely. Working as a technical writer for a software company she doesn't consider herself the intended target until the murder of a colleague a short time later. Suddenly Elly realises she is the common denominator and that she must immediately take steps to keep herself safe.

Fleeing to Sydney under a different name, Elly goes into stealth mode, making sure her tracks are covered and always watching her back. At first things seem safer there, but soon Elly realises she is still in danger and that she must uncover the reason she has a target on her back.

    Why Review?

    It wasn't until I became an author that I came to realise the true value of book reviews. It is the single best way of getting your book out there in the world.

    Reviews do not have to be long and detailed - just a short summary of your thoughts on the book and a rating is enough to help other readers discover new
    authors.

    Major global sites like Amazon and Goodreads can give unknown authors a huge leg up in being discovered. So if you enjoy a book why not take a moment to leave a review?
