Baggage - An unputdownable thriller about digging up the past (Paperback, New Ed)

This is the second novel from Emily Barr, experienced travel writer and author of Backpack. Set in England and Australia, it tells the story of Daisy, who after something terrible happens fakes her own suicide and embarks on a journey that she hopes will bring her a new life, away from England and everything that reminds her of it. Daisy travels through Asia, adopting a baby boy called Red along the way, and finally, in the Australian Outback, meets Tony and finds a new beginning. But ten years later her English best friend Sophie turns up out of the blue and recognizes her straight away. Desperate to avoid detection, Daisy denies ever meeting Sophie before. But Sophie is convinced that Daisy is the best friend who had supposedly committed suicide all those years ago. When Sophie returns home to England and her journalist boyfriend she explains that Daisy is alive, well and living in Australia. Although at first he isn't particularly convinced, Lawrence knows that if Sophie is right then this could be the story to set his career alight. If, that is, he is the one to bring her home.... This is an ingenious and eminently readable story that twists and turns between friends and enemies, as the distance between the two countries that connect them shrinks and shrinks. (Kirkus UK)

At eighteen, your closest friend commits suicide. At twenty-nine, you're backpacking in the Australian outback when you see her. She has a husband. She has a ten-year-old son. She has a baby on the way. She claims to be someone else. But you'd recognise her anywhere. Back in England you tell your journalist boyfriend. While he never knew her, he always knew of her - her name is Daisy Fraser and she was awaiting trial over the deaths of four people when she jumped off the Severn Bridge. He thinks: This could be the scoop of the century. He says: Happy Christmas - I'm taking you to Australia to find Daisy.
