tien 's review for:
The Great Divide
by L.J.M. Owen
I thought this book would be right in the middle of my comfort zone and it was. The mystery was intriguing and drew me throughout the story. It's not a big book, falling short of 300 pages but it really did have me enthralled for a number of hours, at the least.
I'm always happy to find a detective who isn't totally broken (I think that's quite rare these days) because that means I'm not bogged down in their personal history though that doesn't mean he's boring. Detective Jake Hunter was definitely in hiding. His expectations of a remote posting, however, did no include a complex inter-connected multiple murders that reached back into the past nor a community with its own hidden secrets / conspiracies. Plus all that fog... makes driving a hazard!
Set in a remote town of Tasmania, featuring a big-city detective on a run from something, and a semblance of gothic atmosphere, The Great Divide is a mystery novel to tickle your little grey cells.
