Summary

FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING NUMBER ONE AUTHOR OF THE DRY

An outstanding novel, a brilliant mystery and a heart-pounding listen from the author of The Dry, Force of Nature, The Lost Man and The Survivors.

A mother disappears from a busy festival on a warm spring night.

Her baby lies alone in the pram, her mother’s possessions surrounding her, waiting for a return which never comes.

A year later, Kim Gillespie’s absence still casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather to welcome a new addition to the family.

Joining the celebrations on a rare break from work is federal investigator Aaron Falk, who begins to suspect that all is not as it seems.

As he looks into Kim’s case, long-held secrets and resentments begin to come to the fore, secrets that show that her community is not as close as it appears.

Falk will have to tread carefully if he is to expose the dark fractures at its heart, but sometimes it takes an outsider to get to the truth . . .

Back on form

Excellent read. Although it ended how I thought it would, but that didn’t spoil it. Likable characters for me to become invested in. I could listen to this narrator all day long.

Spun out

I have enjoyed previous books but this was repetitive and slow. So many oh yeahs? Long meaningful looks. The story line was ok but took too long to get there. I felt another level of complexiity was required and more red herrings.

Long burn

This was a slow story with a climax worth waiting for. Could have done with editing but most of the detail becomes vital.

Amazing story. Brilliant writing. Couldn’t put it down.

Jane Harper is an excellent writer and I am reading all her books. Totally understand why she wins so many awards. Her style of writing is so easy to read and conveys so much insight into people and situations.She is skilled at giving you just enough clues for you to think you’re working it out. Love the characters and cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Back to the standard of Book 1

An engrossing story with i intelligent detective work. Excellent narration. Only 4 star though as the editing had scope for being sharper.
