This was not my first encounter with Ms Harper's writing so I must say it felt somehow different from her other works which are set in the outback. Here water is in the backgorund of the events and descriptions.
Atmospheric and dark, a slow-burner, set in a small seaside town haunted by the events from the past and another tragedy, was a truly good listen that engaged me fully. I found the plot intriguing and appreciated the gradual unravelling of the truth. Not connecting to any of the characters did not spoil the enjoyment for me. The narration is top-notch, a perfect voice for this book.
*A big thank-you to Jane Harper, Hachette UK Audio, and NetGalley for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.*

An intriguing review, Beata. Water isn't the first thing I think about when I think about Australia, despite the fact that I've never been in the Outback, never farther in than a couple hours drive from the beach. Still, dryness seems to fit the image of Australia better than a lot of water. Glad you're enjoying these books!
Wonderful review, Beata. I enjoyed this one too and do love Jane Harper.
I like how you bring up that the other works you read were in the outback and these were seaside. I imagine that showed a different side! Sounds cool!
Is it narrated in the third-person, Beata?
I'm saving this one for a trip, so pleased to see that Ms. Harper continues to raise the bar. Nice review!
Great review Beata!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 💖
She is a great author and glad you enjoyed it, Beata
Fine review, Beata. I also don't think I'll mind whether I connect these characters to her other books. Look forward to each story Harper brings, and hope to pick this one up this year. PS. Lost Man was very good, and I see you liked it just a bit more.
Yay glad to see you enjoyed this too, Beata, even if you didn't quite connect with the characters! Great review! :)
I love that you’re a fan, Beata! The Outback descriptions are eerily disturbing so I’m glad she did a seaside story and didn’t disappoint you� Love your excitement on Harper and great review!
