When I first started this book, I wasn’t so sure about it. It roped me in and will stick with me for a long time!

Jane Harper is an amazing storyteller! I was captivated from the first page to the last. Try as I might, I could not predict the solution to the mystery. Suspenseful, atmospheric, character- and plot-driven, this was a wonderfully satisfying read!
