The Dry (Aaron Falk, #1)

Whoa, well done, Harper! I did not see that twist coming and just when I thought I had it all figured out, that theory was shot to hell. Brilliant.
This story is set in the bush in Kiewarra, Australia, where a murder suicide has taken place in a community where a drought is on. Falk, a cop who has come back for the funeral, is coaxed into staying to dig into the truth of what really happened to the family. A past is reawakened, secrets are kept close and many don't want him there for the ties he once had.
This was a fast moving who dun it. Loved the style of writing as well as the different font to reflect the past. Don't bother to try to locate this one on the map - I tried and then read it's a fictitious town. I would have loved a bit more description of this land of desolation in a country so far from my own but, hey, I can always read a travel log.
And, the bestest thing about this novel - a sequel has already been born! 4.25⭐️

Thanks ZT, Kaceey & Dana!
Don't read who dun its , but glad it was a good one for you , Jen.
Great review hon =]
"shot to hell" is very desirable! It's in my Overdrive queue.
Can't wait to read this one! Great review Jen.

Thanks Melissa, Ace and Candace. Cathrine, really hope you enjoy this one too!

Fab review, Jen! Looking forward to this one!
I think you've swayed me to finally give this one a try!
Thanks Candi & Melisa. Hope you enjoy it, Melisa. I'm not sure why I removed it to begin with, but I'm glad I read it. And I am so looking forward to this character in the next one to be released in early 2018.
Great review. I'm so glad you liked it too.
Thanks Bianca
Awesome review, Jen! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Nice review Jen! Glad you liked it. I have this one in my audio queue and I'm looking forward to it.
Yay! I love when I don't see things coming! Great review, Jen! :)
Love the enthusiastic review, Jen, as this is one of my real favourites. Harper's fictional town is absolutely recognisable as any number of small rural towns in Australia, which just made it all the better for me. She nailed that!
Thanks Julie, PorshaJo, D, Jen and Patty. It does sound like she nailed it, Patty. It was a surprisingly great read and I'm looking forward to her future stuff - set right in the land down under :)
Terrific review, Jen :) I also thought this was a great read! Falk is an interesting character to build a series on and I'm looking forward to seeing where Harper takes this character. - And who doesn't love the land down under?!?
This sounds excellent, Jen. I'm glad ou liked it.
Great review for a great book Jen.
Wonderful review Jen! I just saw that this has a sequel! I'm debating to read it or not since I wasn't that in love with this one.
Wonderful review! Kiewarra felt too real to be a fictional town! :D I'm so excited to see that the sequel already has a cover and a release date!
Wonderful review Jen! Anxiously awaiting meeting Falk again 😊
Exactly Marilyn! A crime in another country
Fingers too fast - but the sequel sounds good about 3 hikers who go missing. Can't wait!
Thanks Esil, Maureen and Kendall. Kendall sorry you didn't like it more - maybe the next one will be more enticing as she has def set the bar
Thanks Holly, Taryn and Karen. Until we meet Falk again ... cheers
Fantastic review Jen! So glad to see you enjoyed this one. I am looking forward to the second one too!
Thanks Brenda! I think yours was the last review to push this one up on my list. Thanks for that!
Great review Jen! I cant wait to read this. I wil bevreading this very soon since I just got this at my library.
Oh good, Mary! Can't wait for your thoughts
Great review Jen! I hope to get to this soon!
Thanks Wendy! Hope you enjoy it too
