The Dry

 

The Dry by Jane Harper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Aaron Falk returns to his childhood home when his old friend seemingly commits suicide after killing his family. Aaron is a financial detective but even he can see that there is more to the story after he starts looking into it. There are old mysteries to unravel and old relationships to navigate and the landscape plays a part as not only setting but perhaps part of the motivation, an accomplice in more than one way. The plot flashes back and forth from stories from his youth, to the unfolding drama but perhaps because I was also reading Tana French, I found the psychological inner workings shallow and so I wanted more understanding of the motivations of many of the characters.
