A review by lattemommyreads
Wake by Shelley Burr

5.0

What is it about Australian crime fiction that makes it so good?!? This is a slow-burn literary mystery that unfolds beautifully, revealing itself to the reader bit by bit, right to the last sentence. The characters are complicated and nuanced, and you can sympathize with their choices, even if you don’t always agree with them. Wake is a fantastic debut, and I can’t wait to see what the author writes next.
