Hello!
I just finished reading the book “The Dry” by Jane Harper.
It was my vacation read!
We were on vacation from Friday to Friday and I finished this up on Monday morning!! I had started to read it at home and was about a third of the way done when we went on vacation and couldn’t put it done! Thank goodness for a pool day and sleep in day for the boys!
From Amazon:
After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.
Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there’s more to Luke’s death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them.
I really liked this book! It grabs you in the first chapter and has great unexpected twists. Yummy!! If you like all the police forensics to prove a crime and proof due to evidence, this book doesn’t have that, but I guarantee you won’t question who did what. The author does an amazing job of answering ALL your questions.
What I really liked was how the author wrote the flashbacks. The flashback were included in the chapter, just written in italics. I really liked this type of writing, because a flashback is usually an entire chapter. This type of writing helped the story from being so choppy and going back and forth.
I would highly recommend this book to all and I can’t wait to read Jane Harper’s new book that came out in February.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5!
