I loved it. Jane Harper does the best combo of mystery, character study and Australian nature. In this one, someone was murdered in the middle of the night and left on the beach.

The small coastal town setting was wonderful (this time set in Tasmania, off Hobart), the characters were relatable, and the book atmosphere was unmistakably Australian (Surf and Turf ...more

Another fantastic read by Jane Harper that once again uses the Australian environment to great effect. I was slightly annoyed by the ending, but apart from that I enjoyed the book immensely (keeping me up way too late reading lol). Definitely give it a read :) .
4.5 stars.

Re read this book for my book club. Enjoyed it all over again.
I loved this book, so well written. Her descriptions are so evocative and her characters are really well developed and feel so authentic. Kieran Elliot and his partner Mia, and their baby Audrey return home to Evelyn Bay a small seaside town in Tasmania to help his parents pack and move to Hobart. A young woman is found dead on the beach and it brings up old memories for many people in this small town. Kieran is still haunted by even ...more
