3.5/5⭐️ I really enjoyed this one! The authors did a good job of keeping me exceedingly nervous during peak high-pressure situations.

The book made me very thirsty. I think I was drinking something the entire time. The story was interesting, though I didn‘t like any of the characters. I didn‘t care enough about them to be sad if they died, but I enjoyed the book. Doesn‘t seem that far-fetched.

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

Ruthiella It‘s the thought that counts! 😅 1mo
Avanders 😂 aww that‘s a sweet try 🤭 1mo
Avanders Btw any interest in reading this book? I‘m ready to send it on and thought of you… 1mo
BethM @Avanders I think I‘ll pass thank you! 1mo

I enjoyed it. It‘s a little too long, but worth the read.

This was pretty good! A teeny bit too long, but a good, easy read. And I even guessed the “bad guy” too, which I never do 😝 (23)
⭐️: 3.75/5

Aaron Falk‘s childhood best friend Luke apparently killed his family and himself. Falk, the smalltown outcast for years, is now a Melbourne white collar crime investigator and wrangled into helping the town cop to investigate whether Luke really was the culprit. The ending isn‘t at all what you‘d expect—but entirely logical once you know everyone in town a bit better. This one was hard to put down. #authoramonth #Australia #readingOceania

BarbaraBB She‘s an excellent writer! 1y
CatLass007 She‘s tops in her field. 1y
Librarybelle It is so good! I enjoyed the series with Falk‘s character. 1y

I‘m grateful to #AAM and #bookspin for pushing me to finally read Jane Harper. She‘s been on my radar for years, but something in her book blurbs always left me wondering if she would actually be my style. It turns out I really enjoyed her dry humor, and thought Falk and the cast of surrounding characters were compelling. I did work out the major plot points ahead of the book, which never happens for me! But I‘m interested to read book 2.

AmyG I liked Book 2. 1y
IndoorDame @AmyG awesome! Thanks 😊 1y
vonnie862 I just started this! 1y

I‘ve discovered the reason not to read two books by the same author at the same time. One is slow and drags, but still interesting. The other, however, is my pick when deciding which one to read. So it‘s hard to be motivated to read the other one. I won‘t tell which is which, but I‘d be interested to learn if anyone else has a favorite between these two.

mcctrish I have read The Dry and it made me want to read more by Harper 1y
AvidReader25 I‘ve read and love both, but they are definitely different stories with very different pacing. 1y
Ruthiella I read The Dry first. In fact I read all her books in publication order. The Dry is my least favorite. Force of Nature is probably my favorite because I really enjoyed the plot. But The Last Man was very good too. 1y

DHill @mcctrish same. But I loved The Lost Man just slightly more. 😊 1y
mcctrish Looks like it can only better for me and JH ❤️❤️❤️ 1y
Susanita There‘s a little reference to The Dry in The Lost Man that amused me once I realized it. 1y
CoverToCoverGirl I actually loved them both, so I‘m no help. 🤭 1y
Texreader @Susanita I‘m so glad you dropped that hint. I was so darned confused when I read the reference, because like an idiot I was reading the books at the same time and got the storylines all messed up in my head. Then I read your comment and it all clicked. Now I‘m going to finish The Dry before I finish The Lost Man to try to eliminate the confusion. 1y

I‘ve picked my next ebook, and I hope it‘s different enough from Harper‘s The Lost Man, which I‘m also reading right now, so I don‘t confuse the two.

Librarybelle I‘ve not read the Lost Man yet but really liked The Dry! 1y
Texreader @Librarybelle The Dry has started out a lot faster than The Last Man. So my first reaction is to read this one! 1y
