The Dry
by Jane Harper, 2017, Audiobook narrated by Stephen Shanahan, Macmillan Audio
A friend recommended books by Jane Harper and I was lucky to be able to borrow this audiobook from my local library using Libby. The setting of this murder mystery in a small town in Australia made it very interesting as the author’s portrayal of the characters and atmosphere was very good. Also, the narration by Stephen Shanahan made it seem even more authentic with his Aussie accent.
The plot was good also as there were actually two plots: the recent murder of a woman and her son followed by the supposed suicide of the husband/father and the drowning death of a young woman many years ago that had not been satisfactorily explained. There are many twists and turns in this novel, but the author manages to hold it all together and keep it interesting.
I have been told that each of Harper’s novels take place in a different place in Australia which makes reading/listening to them even more interesting. I will look forward to picking up another sometime in the future.
