I chose The Dry for my neighborhood book club after reading numerous compelling reviews (including one from Reese Witherspoon, who I love and whose Instagram feed is AMAZING!). I was excited to get started and it didn’t disappoint. The story centers around Federal Agent, Aaron Falk, who comes back to his hometown after 20 years to attend the funeral of his good friend, Luke, who, along with his wife and son, was brutally murdered. Aaron lends a hand in the investigation while dealing with his own challenging past, for which he was run out of town years earlier (suspected of murdering his good friend, Ellie). This was a fast-paced dual mystery whose ending wasn’t too predictable until close to the end. I stayed up late to finish and really did enjoy it.
