Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring a mystery set in Australia, Exiles by Jane Harper

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

My Summary:

Aaron Falk, an investigator we met in The Dry and Force of Nature, returns in this story that is set in Southern Australia’s wine country. The occasion is a baby christening where Falk is the Godfather. The christening was supposed to take place a year earlier; however, a missing mother and her abandoned baby upset the community and the christening was postponed for one year. The mother disappeared from the town’s annual festival and Falk, although not involved in the case, has his curiosity piqued about the unsolved case once he arrives in town. While plans progress for the family christening, Falk wonders if the cold case is connected to another death in the small town, Falk conducts behind-the-scenes inquiries and pieces clues together. He unexpectedly finds himself attracted to a beautiful woman.

“We see what we expect to see.”
