There was a real humanity and almost vulnerability at times in the way the author portrayed him. He’s not what I would expect a police investigator to be, possibly because he works with financial crimes rather than murders or missing persons, but he was a caring and intuitive individual, even if some of his investigative skills were a touch rusty. I really liked the character of Aaron Falk. Now he is back in town, the Festival is about to get underway and about to uncover some dark secrets that one person rather remained buried. Aaron was present during the initial stages of the investigation, even acting as a witness being one of the last people to see Kim.
It’s an event mired in sadness as one year before a member of Raco’s extended family disappeared, leaving behind her two daughters, Zara, Raco’s niece, and her baby daughter Zoe.
In Exiles, Federal Investigator Aaron Falk travels to the town of Marralee for the postponed christening of his godson, the youngest child of his old friend Raco. It’s a testament to how much I was enjoying this book that, before I’d even finished it, I was buying books one and two to catch up and test that theory. That said, aside from some alluding to prior events, nothing in this book should act as a spoiler to the rest of the series.
