pickThis was just a very good Australian crime novel. It had everything I wanted; dual timelines, a slow reveal, nothing is quite as it seems, small town claustrophobia vibes, corruption of power, plot twists, flawed characters, a dog…I mean what else do you want? Pacing was great, resolution satisfying.
pickI doubt the similarities are intentional, but To The River really reminded me of Sadie by Courtney Summers – but a more mature version of the story, told for grown-ups. It‘s cleverly plotted and perfectly paced, building up to a denouement that doesn‘t over-egg the pudding. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/to-the-river-vikki-wakefield/
