APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A tragic drowning from the past suspiciously resurfaces in the present in this ominous suspense novel. New parents Kieran and Mia are returning to Kieran’s hometown of Evelyn Bay in coastal Tasmania to help move his aging father into nursing care. But the recent drowning of a local waitress begins weighing on Kieran’s mind, awakening memories of his brother, Finn, who was lost in a storm 12 years earlier. As new evidence surfaces, he begins to wonder whether either death was truly an accident. Jane Harper brilliantly evokes the brooding, atmospheric setting and conflicted characters who are drawn there. The past and the present lap at you in alternating waves as grief and love play out across the generations. Reading this moody masterpiece, narrator Stephen Shanahan, with his pleasing Australian accent, captures the spirit of the insular village, complete with its long-standing suspicions and unspoken secrets.
