The Dry by Jane Harper

4.0

Set in a small town in Australia during a drought, this book is like a slow burn with some twists at the end. Aaron Falk returns to his hometown after years away for his childhood friend’s funeral. Believed to be a suicide after killing his wife and child, his friend’s death brings up memories and raw feelings from a suspicious death 20 years before. Not particularly fast paced, the story is drawn out to fill out the characters and fill in the gaps from Aaron’s past. Great read.
