A really enjoyable read. I definitely get the To Kill a Mockingbird vibe. A shameful but even today, still a relevantly accurate portrayal of the prejudices and secrets that exist within some parts of Australian society. Will definitely be checking out more of Silvey's works.Gotta say, there is only one coalMining town I know located in the south west which also has the state's largest power plant? Could this town be where Silvey's draws his inspiration? i loved it. extremely gripping.one of my favorites this year. creepy, with a sense of comradery and a surprising ending.late on a summers night, charlie hears a tap. its jasper jones. the local hoodlum. and he needs help. against his better judgement, he follows jasper. he shows him something charlie never expected, in a place he never knew existed. what will he do when his crushes sister goes missing, and he suddenly finds himself in the middle of it?
This is on the suspenseful side and therefore not-my-cup-of-tea.
