The Survivors by Jane Harper
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.25
I picked up this book as a recommendation for a thriller that captures Australian culture, and although I can only speak as an outsider, I thought the small-town atmosphere where everyone knows each other and everyone gossips and everyone is connected somehow was executed really well.
Frankly, I engaged less with the thriller and mystery than I did with the small-town vibes, shared trauma, worries of adulthood. Initially, I struggled to keep up with the cast of characters and how they are connected, particularly across two timelines. Overall, I think it was good though, somewhat sad.
