Falk will have to tread carefully if he is to expose the dark fractures at its heart, but sometimes it takes an outsider to get to the truth .

This is the last in Falk’s series, and Harper has congregated the old and new characters around him smoothly.As the narrative progresses, we follow the investigation into the lives and secrets of the local community. It became a trial sorting out the prominent cast members, remembering their backstories, their family relationships and friendships with others, their recollections from a year ago, and their marriage or divorce status. Falk finds himself drawn into the family and friends dramas and the small town community and becomes central in solving the mystery of what happened to Kim and his dogged determination even wins out eventually as he chips away at who could possibly have run over Dean Tozer.

It was a spring night and the South Australian sky was clear and starry with no rain forecast, but the weatherproof hood had been pulled over to full stretch. However, not everyone is satisfied with this explanation, particularly the guilt and grief stricken Zara, who is convinced that Kim would never have abandoned her baby, it was so out of character, and a appeal for any further information on Kim is being made, both by the police and family, at this year's festival.

This is very much a character driven mystery, my very favourite kind, and I relished the seemingly slow pace, the introduction of another, older, unsolved crime, and a welcome diversion in Falk's private life. Barossa Valley, altra zona vinicola dell’Australia del sud usata da Jane Harper per ambientare il romanzo. It had been postponed from the previous year when 39 year old mother, Kim Gillespie,went missing, leaving behind her baby daughter, Zoe, in the pram park at the Annual Marralee Food and Wine Festival. No spoilers here but I will tell you that there is more than one mystery to solve and also a budding romance, or two!

The mysteries held my interest, and while the reveals weren't all that surprising, Harper's writing elevated both.Joel has been trying for five years to find the hit-and-run driver that pushed his father’s car into the reservoir.
