Tell Me Something True - Michael Robotham

She read
Described as a crime epic, I am not going to try to summarize this complex saga as a few sentence synopsis cannot do it justice. Beautifully written, it is an emotionally charged read….heartbreaking yet hopeful.
This is not a fast paced thriller, but rather a slow burn with layers gradually unfolding and moving between timelines of past (1988) and present. I find stories about injustices to be very disturbing, so this was a challenging read for me.
The characters are richly developed, some of whom may linger in the reader’s mind long after finishing the book. The author paints a vivid picture of a small town with its share of petty issues, despicable characters, those struggling to make ends meet, and those displaying incredible compassion.
Do read the author’s note at the back for the interesting backstory to this narrative.
Thanks to @NetGalley and @GroveAtlantic for the DRC.
