Falk goes into the country for the christening of Greg Raco's (character from The Dry) latest child and finds himself at the centre of a mystery disappearance of a relative of Raco's at a local wine fair. Deep characters and well plotted with the heart of the mystery only solved and recognised near the end of the book with all loose ends neatly tied off. ( )
This series is more cerebral and interpersonal than action oriented detective stuff. I certainly don't mind that but I must have been more in the mood for the latter as I find this a litle slow. I did like characters and setting just hoped for a little more to be going on. Still a good series. ( )
Aaron Falk has gone to Marralee to undertake his being named godfather for a close friend’s baby. The event was postponed after a woman disappeared a year beforehand at the annual wine festival. Everyone in this close community wanted to find the woman, and Falk, a Melbourne investigator, inadvertently started following the clues to find her. Third and last in this series, I have come to realize that Harper always has an unexpected twist and this book was no different. I especially liked how surprising the ending was because it demonstrated well how normal someone can be to the outside world, but quite destructive within a family. ( )
Just finished. I enjoyed. Good characters, good writing, languid pacing. This is the first and only book I have read bu Jane Harper. I'd be willing to try another in the series. ( )
