Well, I didn't figure that one out and that's a good thing. Enjoyed enough to want to read book #2

A gripping atmospheric thriller that I rushed through in only a few sittings. Oddly enough, the pace sometimes should have seemed slow, but every scene was meaningful and keeps you hooked. The characters were vivid and felt like people you'd actually know from a small Australian town. Fantastic storytelling from Jane Harper, looking forward to the rest of Aaron Falk's investigations!

4.5-really well done mystery. The setting, farmlands of Australia, was refreshing and the author captured the small town mind set so well, the gossip and distrust. Surprised to find its a first novel. Will definitely read the second installment when it comes out in Feb.2018.

Надзвичайно динамічно і дико захоплива книга! Читати - не відірватися!
Вона повнісінька несподіванок та речей, які змушують вас читати - загадки минулого, страшні таємниці, драми, трагедії, містечковий осуд, сила волі, прийняття себе.
Направду сильна книга.
Дивлюся, що незважаючи на переклад, дуже мало українських читачів читали цю книгу.
Рекомендую її, якщо ви полюбляєте психологічні трилери, детективи та просто атмосферні книги, які забирають у полон.

A very quick and entertaining mystery. There are some twists and turns along the way. Would recommend for someone looking for something to speed through!

A very solid mystery. Harper makes every place in Australia feel like a different planet. I'm looking forward to continuing the Aaron Falk series, and very interested to see the movie version of this one.
