The compelling new novel from Jane Harper, the New York Times bestselling author of The Dry.
Kieran Elliott’s life changed forever on the day a reckless mistake led to devastating consequences.
The guilt that still haunts him resurfaces during a visit with his young family to the small coastal town he once called home.
Kieran’s parents are struggling in a community which is bound, for better or worse, to the sea, that is both a lifeline and a threat. Between them all is his absent brother, Finn.
When a body is discovered on the beach, long-held secrets threaten to emerge. A sunken wreck, a missing girl, and questions that have never washed away…
My Take
An interesting mystery, where the person who “solves” the crime isn’t actively trying to solve it, more just really wants to know what happened. There are actually two murders, and though police are involved they are not the ones who figure it out. An interesting look at growing up in a small town, moving away, and coming back. Great sense of place and interesting characters.
