It’s always so interesting to read a book based in a town you’re actually familiar with, & Kiama is familiar territory to me. It’s especially odd when the book is mysterious like this one, like where the heck did this story come from? What inspired this? You can bet your book stack I was on the Google Earth app, searching for landmarks.
The story itself takes a bit to get the adrenaline rushing, but once it does it sends you pummeling down the twistiest roller coaster of “whodunnits” I think I’ve ever experienced. I was second guessing myself until the very end.
The main character Lo was an interesting personality from the get-go. Not exactly likable to be honest, I just couldn’t connect with her, but then thrillers would probably makes less sense if people were more… normal.
A cracking start to the year. Now I need to calm myself down if I hope to actually sleep tonight!!
