The pace picked up for this installment and resulted in an excellent mystery! I appreciated that most of the characters had distinct and strong personality in this novel (maybe the protagonist is still lacking). The interconnectedness of each character possibly being involved with the womans dissappearance meant the reader could sympathise with the likable characters, but they remained untrustworthy which added extra dimension to the reading.
The setting Harper has created within the bush was also superb - excellent descriptions of the dark and damp, the sounds of critters, the confusing walking tracks, being stuck hiking with painful personalities.
Aaron Falk seems to throw himself into danger to be heroic
Overall, a fun murder mystery with more drama and satisfaction than The Dry!
