First thoughts on The Way it is Now by Garry Disher

Another excellent title by Disher!

Two thirds of the way through the book now, and I found like other Disher's that it was slow for me to build a bond with the characters but am now feeling much more connected.
Although I have a tiny suspicion as to the "whodunnit" really I have no idea.
I think so many of Disher's books would adapt well to a movie, something for Netflix?

I couldn't agree more, Brenda. I guess I should wait for 'final thoughts' to post my review - next week?

You could post it in the 'spoilers' thread now Greg.

Thanks Kylie, will do.

Finished this one, and another good read from Disher. hope everyone else is also enjoying!

Was a great read Kerri!

Yes, I have yet to read a book by this author that I have not enjoyed!

Very true! I agree with you :)

My book finally arrived today! (ordered on November 12th, it was supposed to have beeen a Christmas present)
Arrived in a plain white envelope not in the booktopia cardboard.
So I've got to get a move on and start reading!

Sounds like you've had my trouble Heather! Glad yours finally arrived! I ordered 2 books for my granddaughters on 13th November for Christmas and they still haven't arrived. I've finally had the money refunded as I gave up waiting!

Hopefully you end up with a couple freebies.

Yes that'd be the best case scenario!!

Loved it. 5 stars from 5

Excellent review Col. I loved this one too. Perhaps not quite as much as Peace, which was a 5* cracker from me. I read a lot of so-called page-turners, and yes, that can be great too. But there's nothing like a deeply involving slow-burn with characters whose skin you get under, and you care about. Like them or not.
