Chilling. Engrossing. Mysterious. Atmospheric.
Jane Harper knows how to write intensely atmospheric stories. She builds foreboding tension and suspense from the very start that keeps you captivated and hanging on until the very end. This book was no exception in that regard and it finished with a twisty, intense and unexpected ending which left me a satisfied reader.
The part that was lacking for me in this novel was the characters. I didn’t particularly like any of them which negatively affected my overall investment in the story. I was curious to see how things would come together but I didn’t truly care what happened and wasn’t rooting for anyone. It also took me a bit to understand “who was who� for the first portion of the book.
I’ve read and loved every one of this authors books. While this was a good read that I would recommend, it’s my least favourite of hers.
Thank you to Flat Iron books for the eGalley. Expected publication date is Feb 2nd.

Thank you Michael!
Since I am awful with the who is who routine, I think this one would not be for me, sadly. Excellent review, Lindsay!
I feel like this about the book I’m listening to now, Lindsay! Great review‼️
Great review, Lindsay! I’ve only read one of Harper’s books so far and from that agree, she writes a great atmosphere. Looking forward to this one!
Great review, Lindsay. I loved The Dry and The Lost Man. I listened to this by audiobook and was unable to go back to refresh my memory on the characters. None were memorable or distinctive on audio which was unfortunate.
Thank you Marialyce, Terrie, Brandice, Carolyn and Tina!
Terrific review Lindsay! Getting ready to start this one! Hope I have a better connection with the characters!🤞
Thank you Sheyla and Jayme! Kaceey - hope you love it!
Wonderful review Lindsay. Sorry the characters didn't grab you in this one. She has become one of my favorite writers!
Fantastic review, Lindsday! I enjoyed this one a little more than you, but I understand not liking any of the characters, lol!
Good honest review, Lindsay!
Sorry it didn’t totally work for you, Lindsay.
Terrific review, Lindsay! :)
Thank you DeAnn, Meredith, Kat, Angela and Melissa! 💛❤️💕
i won't start with this one then. I think I bought the Dry.
Nice review, Lindsay :)) Hope to enjoy this book too :))
Adina � The Dry is far better than this one! Hope you love it!
Thank you Beata! Hope you love it!
Great review, Lindsay!
Thank you B! Still laughing about our book mix up on this one 🤣
Wonderful review, Lindsay. The Dry was my favourite one, too. But I haven't read this book because it will not be released in Canada 🇨🇦 until next year. I have it on hold at the library.
Hope you love it Kathleen! 💚🤍
Oh, a little disappointing. Yes, I'm debating buying it so may need to wait and get this one from the library. An honest review.
Hope you love it Jen!
Love your review, Lindsay. For me it was the right book at the right moment. Loved it.
Thank you Margitte! So glad this was the right book at the right time for you! That really makes a difference.
Stellar review, Lindsay!! 💖
Thank you Julie!
Excellent review, Lindsay, while this one isn't my favourite of hers, I really enjoyed this more than I expected to. I'm disappointed for you, since I know how much more you are drawn to this genre than I typically am!
So glad you enjoyed it Cheri! I think my expectations were set too high and I would have enjoyed it more had I went in without rating the rest of her books so highly.
