My Thoughts:
Jane Harper has done it again! She has conjured up another amazing psychological thriller that kept me gripped to the end.
I have read and loved all her books and I think The Survivors is one of her best. She is so adept at small town dynamics.
The Survivors is told through Keiran's eyes and I enjoyed this style of writing, getting to know him and his thoughts but not of the townspeople, so this kept me guessing as to what they were really thinking and what they actually knew.
A story of secrets of long ago, writing that really draws you in and doesn't let go until every last secret is revealed, shocks and surprises, all excellently written with such depth. I can't wait to see what Jane Harper does next!
