Last One Out by Jane Harper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
With any Jane Harper book you’re guaranteed to read a story seeped in atmosphere and deep in character development. That’s where this author shines and where her novels stand out. In Last One Out, Carralon Ridge, the town, is so atmospheric that it’s a character of its own. The town people’s relationship with the town is a major part of the story.
And so are each of the characters, their history, their connection, their sense of loyalty and betrayal.
On its face this story is not as twisty and interesting as many of Harper’s other novels. But it still has all of her characteristic style so if you go in with the right expectation you will enjoy this story a lot.
And the audio is absolutely excellent, transporting the reader to Australia adding just the right texture to the story.
