#8, The Dry, by Jane Harper

This book is well-plotted with a nice twist at the end. Set in rural Australia, the characters are reasonably well-drawn, the protagonist, Aaron Falk, is likeable, and the supporting cast of friends and enemies give depth to the story. The parallel mysteries, one from the present, and one twenty years old, work nicely to complicate Aaron Falk's search for the truth, both today's and yesterday's.
