Jane Harper does it again!!!
This was my fourth read by Jane Harper - though I wouldn’t say it was my favourite, think my fave is still The Lost Man.
Kieran and his girlfriend Mia return to their hometown to introduce their newborn daughter to his parents. 12 years earlier Kieran’s brother Finn and other local boy Toby were killed in a drowning accident, but we are unsure of the particulars - this is revealed over time.
As always the atmosphere is gripping and dark. So many secrets and hidden agendas. When a young woman who was staying for the summer is found dead on the beach, all the old suspicions come back.
I won’t say too much only that there are plenty of characters so you’re never sure who it could be and the reveals are very satisfying. My only gripe would be that I would have liked a bit more info at the end - after the fallout. (view spoiler)
Would have loved maybe just a epilogue covering the final bases.

Library copy available for pick up

@Marilyn: Heck yeah!! 😊
Would consider trading a kidney or an appendix for an advance copy of this. Just putting that out there:
Pending on EW...fingers crossed! 🤞
@Christina: Desperate times call for desperate measures 😂
@Marilyn: Aaah I have everything crossed for you 🤞

Thank you Holly 😊
I liked the book but was very disappointed with the abrupt ending. SPOILER: Where was Gabby's body? Why did the police officer take the backpack and lie about it?
