Vanished

Hello book community ❤ this morning I’m sharing with you, my thoughts on this book. Vanished, by James Delargy.

This is my first read by the author and I’d really like to read more.

The Kane family are on the run. From what we don’t know.

Mum, dad and little Dylan land in the dead town of Kallayee, somewhere in the depth of the Victoria desert down under.

At first I was quite (pleasantly) confused as I thought I’d stumbled upon a horror as oppose to a thriller.
I felt evil vibes come off of the father Lorcan!
When they first arrive at the town and explore the run down house they are about to make a home, I thought Lorcan was turning a bit crazy. Somehow I began to imagine him as Jack Torrance from The Shining! I think it was his mad demeanour and the fact he had brought his wife and young boy to a secluded spot and that he was writing. But this time is wasn’t snow but smothering heat!

It wasn’t long before it turned on its head and became the thriller I had been expecting.

The detective investigating the disappearance of all 3 family members has a story all of her own and I can imagine her life could be a book on its own.

I liked this, loved how it began, but it did slow down for me after those innitial 100

I love a book set in Australia, and this one had what I wanted, dangerous dingos, humid claustrophobic conditions, and a murder to solve.

Thank you @annecater14 for organising this #blogtour loved being part of it.
