What!? It was really hard for me to get into. Once I finally did, it was okay but I'm not sure I have any idea about the ending? I Now understand what happened with Gaby, but am I supposed to know what happened with Bronte? Also, the excuse and how the situation with Gaby went down.. Lame. So so lame. Disappointment overall. I still liked the book enough I suppose. I did enjoy a few of the characters. It's unfortunate, because I enjoyed and the author's first book I read.

Another excellent slow-burn by Jane Harper. Enjoyed the haunting, atmospheric setting of a small coastal town riddled with tragedy and filled with residents all hiding their own secrets and suffering from their own guilt. The main character was relatable and likable and I found myself rooting for him and his new little family the entire time. I couldn't put this one down and the twisty turns and red herrings kept me flipping through the pages of this whodunnit. My only disappointment was that it felt a tad anti-climatic at the end however was grateful for a happy ending for our protagonist. I am a Jane Harper fan for life!

My new favorite Jane Harper novel. Secrets galore, small-town gossip, and an old tragedy, guilt and grief all coming together in a fantastic Tasmanian setting. So, so good.
