Read Ill-Gotten Gains Storyline:

The country town of Majic is about to celebrate a milestone. It's
been 150 years since the founding father, Petar Majic, rode into the
bush after a liquid lunch, vowing to build a house at whatever spot he
reached by sunset. However, what happened next isn't quite what town
legend would have you believe.A minor act of
cemetery vandalism lands local columnist and amateur detective Nell
Forrest right in the path of historical inevitability. An apparent
murder-suicide leads to the unveiling of a century-old scandal and a
trail left by a trio of long-dead women.Nell's
investigations are hampered both by the arrival of the handsome district
detective and by her family - whose dramas almost eclipse that of the
town itself. With directionless daughters, unplanned pregnancies, a spot
or two of adultery and an ex-husband who wants her house, Nell barely
has time for the case, let alone the energy to keep her wits about her
at the same time.And Nell will need her wits about
her as the mystery of Majic begins casting its shadow into the present
day, putting Nell and her family in grave danger. In the end, Nell must
decide whether it is a tale of epic fortitude, or treachery and
ill-gotten gains, before the past catches up with her.
