Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books | Pine & Cedar, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by Jane Harper, narrated by Angeline Armstrong. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 3.5 stars rounded up!
The mining company has bought up most of the houses in Carralon Ridge in rural South Wales, leaving them to rot. Only a handful of residents remain. Ro never imagined that she'd still be there, but everything changed when her son, Sam, vanished during a college break. Sam loved Carralon Ridge and was working on a history of the town to preserve its legacy. On an anniversary of Sam's disappearance, Ro begins to suspect that something was overlooked in his case.
I love Jane Harper's books - they are so atmospheric, taking place in the wilds of Australia. This one was less of a thriller and more of a slow burn look at a dying town and its residents, but still with Harper's trademark wonderful prose. It's a look at grief, and what it does to those left behind. The mystery part ramped up towards the surprising ending. I thought the narrator did a wonderful job with the voices and definitely added to the enjoyment of this audiobook.
