Amber Dickson reviewed Brumby's Run by Jennifer Scoullar
Review of "Brumby's Run" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Great story, but one thing really bugged me all the way to the end. At the start of chapter eleven (page 58 in the copy I read), in the 6th paragraph, the Chandler's housekeeper, Mai, says "Mrs Carmichael always have me decorate on Christmas Eve." It should have read "Mrs Chandler". Pity an editor didn't pick up this mistake. My mind just started trying to figure out the connection between the Chandler's housekeeper and the Carmichaels. I didn't realise it was a red herring error until I got to the end of the book and it wasn't revealed to be a plot twist!
