Review:
If you know me at all, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Jane Harper's work, so I've been excited to read this book since I heard it was coming out. True to Harper's style, this was a great read.
I absolutely love the setting of this book and getting to know this small town and the people living in it. I really liked getting to know our characters, they're all really well done. One of the things I love so much about this authors books is how she creates atmosphere in her novels and in this one, it's no different; it's just fantastic.
I loved how we're trying to solve two mysteries at once; one is what really happened all those years ago and the other is the current mystery of the murder on the beach. One of the things I love so much about small town mysteries is that you know it has to be one of them, and it's so fun to try and find out who it is. It was hard to figure out and kept me guessing, and I really liked the suspense.
This is a slow burning mystery for sure, so if you don't like that kind of thing, this may not be for you. If you don't mind though and you like small towns, great settings and mysteries in tight knitted communities though, this is a great one.
