Easy to read, loved reading about an Australian town in the 1980's.

Story felt a little slow, or maybe I just wasn't that invested in the story. The twists and reveals didn't feel super suspenseful or shocking.

I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed The Nowhere Child, and The Wife and the Widow.

I didn't feel like the characters had much depth, and didn't feel overly connected to any of the characters. 

The developments felt just dropped into the story out of nowhere, with no lead up, I think for the shock factor but just felt disconnected.
