Book Two of 'The Hollows' Series.
Winter, 1889.
Jack’s back.
After months in hiding by the seaside while the dust of Percival Fitzwilliam’s death settles, Jack Thomas returns to Brisbane with Louisa, hoping at last to begin the life he fought so hard to claim.
But the colony has a long memory.
Louisa is pregnant, and the child must remain secret while the shadow of her late husband, Percival Fitzwilliam, still looms over the city’s powerful families. While Jack settles into a life of silk sheets and butlers, whispers about the past begin to circulate once more. Fortune seekers begin to circle. Justice seekers come looking for answers. Beyond the city, the diggings begin to stir. From the drawing rooms of Brisbane society to the camps of the goldfields, pressure starts to build, and the fragile life Jack and Louisa have created starts to crack.
Because when the reckoning comes, someone always pays the price.

Totally enjoyed the second book as well. Again I could see the images of the story in my mind . I hope there will be more only problem I read these books to fast what do I read now ?😂
Loved Reckoning as much as I loved The Hollows.
Great storyline , easy reading along with enthralling reading.
Cannot recommend enough.
Looking forward to more books from Foster♥️
Have just finished reading ‘Reckoning’ …. a totally brilliantly written novel with a most exciting & somewhat neatly-wrapped conclusion. LOVED it! Very much looking forward to your next novel, Foster.
I bought the ‘Hollows’ and from the first chapter I felt at one in the space the story was set. A chapter or two on, they rode into ‘Murwillumbah’
(My home town). I lived in the story and the drama. I will read it again.
I have the ‘Reckoning’ and have begun reading, it is shaping up to be equally as enthralling. I know they are fiction but they carry me off to a place of reality, the story feel like stories I have had relayed from my Husband’s family, Pioneers of the Tweed Valley.
Thank you Foster Burton. Fabulous gripping story telling. I feel the roller coaster emotions in the story. Love love your books.
A good fun follow up to the original book The Hollows. Anyone who loves Australian historical fiction set around the colonial/gold rush days will enjoy both books. I would have liked to have seen his brother be part of this story as that would have made a good pay off from the first book. I felt the story strayed a little at times and some of the characters were a bit cliched and one dimensional. But it still had me engaged enough to keep turning the pages. I got the feeling that this book was a little rushed to get it out as a sequel after the success of The Hollows, and it could have benefited from more early drafting and structural work. However, Foster has a natural gift of creating a detailed world for his characters and that only comes from good research. Overall, I would recommend it to those who enjoy a good historical drama. It's an easy read and has enough in it to keep you engaged.
