The Survivors
A Novel
By Jane Harper
Narrated by: Stephen Shanahan
Length: 11 hours 56 minutes
The Survivors
“Jane Harper has once again created a beautifully written character driven novel and mystery. And, once again the location is one of the main characters. This time we are on the Island of Tasmania and the small tourist town of Evelyn Bay. The other characters who have known each other since high school (Kiernan, Maya, Sean, Liam, Ash and Olivia) are still living with the guilt and trauma from a horrible accident the night of ‘the big storm’ 12 years earlier which resulted in the death of Kiernan’s older brother and Liam’s father, and also the disappearance and presumed drowning of Olivia’s 14 yo sister. When Olivia’s roommate Bronte is found murdered late one evening on the beach near her home the ensuing police investigation opens many old wounds and slowly starts to unveil what really happened during the big storm. As much as I loved her previous books, I think this was her best so far – but then I seem to say that about each new book she writes.”
