"Access Road is a novel of chilling tension and expansive humanity; a beautifully crafted work of literature and a seductive family story."
New Zealand Book Council
"Once again Gee scratches below the surface, finding the menace behind the mundane, the evil behind the everyday. A solid addition to a remarkable writing career."
WildTomato (NZ)
A literary offering that trancends typical crime thrillers.
As she watches her brother losing the battle with his memories, Rowan wonders how long she can keep her own past at bay.
The old family home in Access Road, where Lionel, Roly and Rowan grew up, is crumbling away - but after more than fifty years Lionel and Roly are back. Rowan too, otherwise safe in her 'upper crusty' suburb, is drawn more and more strongly 'out west'.
The past is dangerously alive. Clyde Buckley - violent as a boy; enigmatic, subterranean as an old man - returns to his childhood territory. What does he want? What crimes does he hide? And how is Lionel involved? Rowan must abandon safety if she is to find out …
Maurice Gee is a master storyteller. Access Road is at once a novel of chilling tension and expansive humanity; both a beautifully crafted work of literature and an effortlessly seductive family story.
"Gee is our greatest writer."
Paula Morris, NZ Listener
