The Dry by Jane HarperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Page turning mystery
Set in Australia, the book opens during a lengthy drought with the discovery of the bodies of a young farming couple and their five year old son. The man's childhood friend,now a cop in Melbourne , returns for the funeral. He received a message from the man's father who says he knows the boys lied about their whereabouts in the day,twenty years ago, when another friend was killed. Is this triple murder related to that still unsolved murder? Aaron Fall and the local cop,Sgt Raco set out to solve the mystery. Long buried secrets, less hidden animosities and suspicions hinder the investigation at every turn . The answers to both crimes are surprising and, at least in one case,totally unexpected. A sad story of mob mentality and emotional thinking.
