In this searing, “indisputable page-turner” (Associated Press), a town’s dark secrets come to light in the aftermath of a young priest’s unthinkable last act—in the vein of The Dry and Where the Crawdads Sing.

In Riversend, an isolated Australian community afflicted by an endless drought, a young priest does the unthinkable: he kills five parishioners before being taken down himself.

A year later, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend. His assignment: to report how the townspeople are coping as the anniversary of the tragedy approaches. But as Martin meets the locals and hears their version of events, he begins to realize that the accepted explanation—a theory established through an award-winning investigation by Martin’s own newspaper—may be wrong.

Just as Martin believes he’s making headway, a shocking new crime rocks the town. As the national media flocks to the scene, Martin finds himself thrown into a whole new mystery.

What was the real reason behind the priest’s shooting spree? And how does it connect to other deaths in the district, if at all? Martin struggles to uncover the town’s dark secrets, putting his job, his mental state, and his very life at risk.

For fans of James Lee Burke, Jane Harper, and Robert Crais, Scrublands is “a gritty debut...sensitively rendered” (The New York Times Book Review) that marks Chris Hammer as a stunning new voice in crime fiction. Suspense Thrillers et romans à suspense Thrillers policiers Crime Fiction

good story overall but seemed to take an extraordinaryly long time to tell it. alot of moving parts which was good but could have been told in half the time. Had a hard time liking any of the characters and found overall dialogue a bit boring.

hard to get through

This book was entertaining, a great beach read i would say. The story had some twists and turns so you weren't thinking "I know what's going to happen!". The reader did a good job with the character voices and emotions and altogether I'm happy with the purchase!

Enjoyable book

I plowed through this title which was aptly compared to The Dry but still had its own distinct style. I am however, displeased that the following books are not available for me to download! Come on audible.ca!

Another riveting Aussie read!

It was like he ran out of something to say at the very end and it kind of dragged on. It was very, very boring.

I liked how it had a good backstory, but the end of it was boring
