The Dry (Aaron Falk, #1)

Holy Cow! What a wonderful book! This book definitely had all my senses on high alert while reading this one!
The mood, the atmosphere, the setting, the tone, the format…..
"Her goodbye as she left was as dry as the fields."
THE DRY by JANE HARPER is an absolutely engrossing and compelling whodunit crime mystery / thriller that drew me in right from the very first chapter to the very last page!
JANE HARPER delivers a clever, atmospheric, suspenseful, impressive, and very descriptive read here which was well-written and told in tandem from a past mystery and linking events of a family murder in the present. What really grabbed my attention with this story was the extremely vivid portrayal of place and time. The setting surrounding the dry conditions of this small town in Australia was so vivid that it had me desperately wanting and waiting for the rain to pour!
The novel kept me guessing as the mysteries gradually unfolded, although there was nothing real surprising with the reveal it was the way that the author delivered this story that made this book an exceptional read. I also really enjoyed Aaron Falk’s character and will wait patiently to read the next book in this series.
To sum it all up it was an entertaining, exciting, tense, steady-paced, and a quick read with a very satisfying ending. Highly recommend!!

Coulee: a term applied rather loosely to different landforms, all of which refer to a kind of valley.
