A review by mhverney
Exiles by Jane Harper

3.0

Maybe it’s because I had such high expectations… ok, in any case, it’s probably a 3.5 maybe 3.75. But it doesn’t quite cut the mustard. It lacks the intensity of The Dry, which I adored, the sense of place is not as strong, and Gemma did not convince me as a love object. The biggest problem though, is actually a technical one: I did not like the way in which we finally get the truth on who killed Kim, it felt clunky. I still love this writer and will keep reading her, but that was not her best.
