![]() ![]() I have a soft spot for the “family” novels that lean into the family dynamics and secrets, inter-generational conflict, and the way relationships get tested when a calamity or trying circumstances suddenly turns cracks into chasms. ![]() With the disappointment of Truly Madly Guilty still fresh in my memory, I approached Moriarty’s nearly 500-page-long novel with a degree of trepidation: would I once again have to suffer through 200 pages of pure filler? While in the end I wasn’t fully convinced that this story needed to be told over half a thousand pages, I was engaged and entertained from start to finish. The latest domestic noir from the queen of Sydney suburbia is an indulgent but hugely enjoyable page-turner, exploring family dynamics in the wake of a disappearance. ![]()
