Exiles by Jane Harper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Jane Harper novel is a cause to celebrate. Harper’s novels are always character-driven and atmospheric and low burning and still manage to surprise you and this one is no exception. It is the story of a mother who goes missing in the middle of a town carnival leaving her newborn baby behind in a stroller.
What would possibly make a mother do that?
The story unfolds slowly and deliberately. You get enmeshed in the affairs of this little town and the tangled lives its inhabitants have with each other. I was so invested in these characters and their story that I was heartbroken when I found out what happened.
with gratitude to netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
