's review

it was amazing

So this is a really good debut novel about a farming community in Australia, the murder of a young family..father, mother, young son, but their baby left unharmed.
This story also goes back and forth from present time to 20 yrs earlier when this father and his group of four friends were growing up there.
One of the group, Falk, is now a cop from the another city, who comes to town for the funeral of his friend and his family, and ends up on the case to try and find the killer. There are lots of possible suspects.. really keeps you guessing. I enjoyed the book, especially liked Falk.

Iris P Very nice Karen, a good mystery to keep handy then! I hardly read any novels by Australian authors so this might be a good choice :)
