Wild Place by Christian White
4.0
Wild Place is the third novel by author Christian White. I've read The Wife and the Widow and loved it so was excited to hear about this one.
Set in a small town in Victoria, Australia the story follows a community on the brink following the disappearance of 17 year old Tracie Reed. At first the large number of characters felt confusing but as you learn how they all tie together it becomes easier to follow. The main character, Tom who was Tracie's English teacher searches for answers and a suspect. The characters are realistic and believable and the author portrays the grieving and impacted family and friends well.
The story is full of shocks and twists as it races towards the chilling ending. I read the book in one sitting. The pace moved quickly and kept you engaged throughout.
Overall, I'd recommend this novel to anyone seeking an easy to read suburban thriller. I'd definitely read more by this author.
