Product Information

'Spellbinding' Ian Rankin 'A riveting murder mystery and a beautifully wrought picture of a rural community under extreme pressure' Mail on Sunday Thriller of the Week 'Packed with sneaky moves and teasing possibilities that keep the reader guessing...The Dry is a breathless page-turner' Janet Maslin, New York Times WHO REALLY KILLED THE HADLER FAMILY? I just can't understand how someone like him could do something like that. Amid the worst drought to ravage Australia in a century, it hasn't rained in small country town Kiewarra for two years. Tensions in the community become unbearable when three members of the Hadler family are brutally murdered. Everyone thinks Luke Hadler, who committed suicide after slaughtering his wife and six-year-old son, is guilty. Policeman Aaron Falk returns to the town of his youth for the funeral of his childhood best friend, and is unwillingly drawn into the investigation. As questions mount and suspicion spreads through the town, Falk is forced to confront the community that rejected him twenty years earlier. Because Falk and Luke Hadler shared a secret, one which Luke's death threatens to unearth. And as Falk probes deeper into the killings, secrets from his past and why he left home bubble to the surface as he questions the truth of his friend's crime. Praise for The Dry 'Riveting' Mail on Sunday 'Stunningly atmospheric' Val McDermid A WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS CRIME THRILLER BOOK OF THE YEAR A CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD WINNER An Amazon.com's #1 Pick for Best Mystery & Thriller

  • Easy reading and an insight into bullying in the Outback.

    Good description of small town prejudice and struggle in an inhospitable environment. It had a couple of interesting twists at the end typical of murder hunts. The reviews are flattering. Not what I would call a grippingly compulsive page turner but sufficiently engaging to make you wish to finish.

  • More than a crime novel.

    Really engaging storytelling. Kept you guessing until the end. Even then it is not entirely clear what the main character will do. Love the shift in narrative view point, used to give more details. Great portrayal of small town mentally.

  • Lots of suspense.

    This is a brilliant story of perhaps making the wrong decision early in life that comes back to haunt you later. I thoroughly enjoyed the book & would recommend it to anyone who likes to be kept guessing as the story unfolds. Well done to Jane Harper.
