The Dry by Jane Harper

5.0

5 stars might be influenced by the fact I read this whilst camping in the sweltering heat in a small town so it added some extra realism to the story! This was a taut and gripping story with a satisfying ending - that perfect mix of thrill and annoyance that I ALMOST guessed whodunit correctly. Coming from a claustrophobic farming village, I felt the sense of tension ratcheting up and everyone being in your business was very accurately portrayed. Falk was a great sympathetic but flawed protagonist and I want to read more of Harper's stuff immediately.
