Product Information

The spaces hold different meanings in terms of both mysteries, as they are quiet and calm spaces, yet they are the backdrop for sinister events. Each of the characters have enough of a background, and have some sort of relationship to each other, to make you consider all sorts of motives. It starts off with a bang (a mother is missing) but then you trudge through 300 plus pages of non-events with uninteresting characters and dialogue. It's a heavy focus on the flaws within humans and just how that bleeds into individuals standing near and dear. It’s always fun when you read of a locale you are familiar with, even if was just a fleeting impression based on a few week's holidays.

He leaned both hands on the railing and let himself relax for a minute, soaking up the sight in front of him. Aaron Falk è un poliziotto federale che svolge indagini finanziarie e fiscali, ma si trova sempre coinvolto in storie molto locali, lontano da Melbourne dove vive e lavora, storie che nulla hanno a che fare con frodi o delitti di stampo finanziario.But in a community where death and murder is rife, will Mickey be able to save her sister before it's too late?

I received an ARC of this novel from the publisher through Edelweiss and it was my pleasure to read and review this novel. Thus Zara plans to pass out fliers and stage an appeal at this year's festival, asking for information about her mother. The clues were there, but caught up in the atmosphere of Harper's writing and seeing the situation from the perspective of her friends, I missed them.

Il romanzo comincia all’annuale Festival di Gastronomia e Vino di Marralee Valley, zona dell’Australia principalmente dedita alla produzione enologica.

In fact it could be said that the book is like Aaron himself, quiet, thoughtful, slow to act but still interesting. But, I picked up the book for a suspenseful mystery and while I did like how the story is built up, the final reveal was more than disappointing and very predictable. Harper ama entrare nell’animo dei suoi personaggi, raccontarne pensieri emozioni e reazioni, oltre che le parole pronunciate e i gesti. And a major character was missing that was present in the Falk books before: Australia as a background but essential character.The missing woman was once married to Greg's brother, and he asks Aaron to investigate her disappearance. The discovery of her shoe near the local reservoir prompted conjecture that Kim had taken her own life. Some of these people are old friends of Aaron’s, while others are childhood friends of theirs, so we see the dynamics of a pretty close community in a small town.
