Skimming now. Repetitive, dull, so much fluff. So little of any import. I can't believe this got so many 5-star reviews. The characters in the town are caricature clichés, the "hero" is guilt plagued on almost every page, it's clear what was going on when he was young with Ellie et al. And I suspect there is some truly repulsive history that’s going to "surprise us" near the end. Ugh.

.... serious pacing problems here. First-time author, but frustratingly slow

... not sure why the italics of memories come and go. Some memories are plain text, some italic.

... Aaron standing in the dry river bed... "Alone, in that monstrous wound, Falk put his face in his hands and, just once, screamed himself."

.... slowly,sadly, you can feel The Dry killing the town and its people. Heard, unyielding and without hope
