At a busy festival site on a warm spring night, a baby lies alone in her pram, her mother vanishing into the crowds.
A year on, Kim Gillespie’s absence casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather deep in the heart of South Australian wine country to welcome a new addition to the family.
Joining the celebrations is federal investigator Aaron Falk. But as he soaks up life in the lush valley, he begins to suspect this tight-knit group may be more fractured than it seems.
Between Falk’s closest friend, a missing mother, and a woman he’s drawn to, dark questions linger as long-ago truths begin to emerge.
Exiles is the third book featuring detective Aaron Falk. I really enjoyed the first two books in the series and was excited to finally dive into this one. This time around sees Aaron visiting his closest friend for a christening. He gets pulled into the case of a missing woman.
I'll admit that this is not my favorite of the trilogy. It was very slow in the beginning and I felt like there were too many characters. I was having a hard time keeping everyone straight and how they related to one another. At about halfway through, the story did pick up a lot more. I do love Falk. I love the way his mind works and how he figures things out. The solution was a surprise. The ending was interesting and makes me wonder if this is it for the series. I kind of hope that it is not true. I would love to see this character again. He is one of my favorite detectives.
