The Dry by Jane HarperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Author Jane Harper has written a beautiful mystery book which is unputdownable. The plot is fast paced enough and the characters in the prose come to life with the excellent writing.
Aaron Falk, a cop working in Melbourne, is visiting his native village to attend the funeral of his friend Luke Hadler who is thought to have killed his family and took his own life but Luke’s parents believe there is more to it and wanted Aaron’s help in figuring out the real reason. There is also a past incident where Aaron and his dad were forced to move out of their village 20 yrs ago as they were suspects in Aaron’s friend Ellie’s murder. Aaron reluctantly tries investigating the case first but as he gets deeper in it he extends his visit and tries to get the root of the mystery. The characters are not too many and they fit nicely in the plot.
Will look forward to reading the next book by the author.
