Larrimah by Kylie Stevenson, Caroline Graham
challenging
informative
tense
medium-paced
3.5
Trigger warnings: death, disappearance of a friend, animal death, snakebite, terminal illness, casual racism, systemic racism, alcohol abuse.
Despite the premise of this book sounding like pure fiction, it's like a strange combination of a travel guide to an extremely random outback town and a true crime book about an elderly man and his dog who disappeared mysteriously, never to be seen or heard from again.
And it was a good time! Very compelling and full of fun stories. But ultimately the true crime side of things fell flat for me purely because there are literally zero answers. Sigh.
