"It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away." —Bee Gees
I really liked this murder mystery combining an ongoing crime investigation with past secrets buried for decades in a drought-ravaged farming town in Australia. The past and present cases seem to intersect but there are a few surprises for me along the way. The story focuses on the intricacies of human relationship and small town intrigue, and the main character Falk is a sympathetic figure that rises above the unjust treatment he receives. I might check out more from this author.
