THE DAZZLING NEW NOVEL FROM THE MASTER OF CRIME..
Karen (retired bookseller) wrote; I love the way Jane Harper's writing took me on a journey with her captivating drama, mystery novel, centred around a grieving family and the community of a small rural Australian town. Vivid descriptions of the land, it's beauty and vastness contrasting with the ever increasing scale of the nearby mining. It's constant noise and destruction of the environment wreaking havoc on the once productive close-knit community.
A beautifully written book exposing the trama & grief deeply altering characters relationshios and lives.
He had been here, that was clear from the marks in the dust. And he had been alone.
In a dying town, Ro Crowley waits for her son on the evening of his 21st birthday. But Sam never comes home. His footprints in the dust of three abandoned houses offer the only clue to his final movements. One set in. One set out.
Five long years later, Ro returns to Carralon Ridge for the annual memorial of Sam's disappearance. The skeletal community is now an echo of itself, having fractured under the pressure of the coal mine operating on its outskirts. But Ro still wants answers. Only a few people remain.
If the truth is to be found in that town, does it lie among them?
