Publisher's Summary
He disappeared for 15 years...until the morning of the murder.
After the puzzling death of a shopkeeper in rural Australia, troubled detective Dana Russo has just 12 hours to interrogate the prime suspect - a silent, inscrutable man found at the scene of the crime, who simply vanished 15 years earlier.
Where has he been? And just how dangerous is he? Without conclusive evidence linking him to the killing, Dana must race against time to persuade him to speak. But over a series of increasingly intense interviews, Dana is forced to confront her own past if she wants him to reveal the shocking truth.
Compulsive, atmospheric and stunningly accomplished, Hermit introduces a thrilling new voice in Australian crime fiction, perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Chris Hammer.

Enjoyed
Love the narration, the Australian story but took a long time to get to the end, and then it was all over in just a few paragraphs really. But overall enjoyed. Will listen to more S R White books.

Loved it!
As others have said, this book was by no means fast paced but the unusual story line and the beautifully built emotional connection to the characters dragged me in. I loved that it was different. I loved the intellectual battle between detective and suspect and the connection built between the two as the story progressed. Very impressed. I will be reading more from this author.

Louise Penny fans will love S. R. White!!!
A focused, intelligent, nuanced Antipodean detective novel. We get right inside Russo, the lead detective’s head. The drama plays out in a tight schedule, and is believable. White’s mastery of language offers original descriptors that are a delight to read. Having read one of her novels, I read the next 3 in the next 2 days, they were that refreshing and intriguing. Highly recommended!

I loved this book.
I enjoyed the detail of the thought processes, the mystery of who was interviewing who, and the plot.
Characters were all deeply explored. The gentle pace and beautiful narration made it so easy to listen to.
I will seek out other audiobooks by this author and narrator.

The Quality of the story
It keeps you connected from the start to the very end. The characters you can imagine and the realism in the story and it's constant surprise in its twist is amazing.

Slow burn
I like to learn from my books. I don’t feel I gained anything as a person by reading this. It was the longest day, blow by blow that took weeks to read.

A book going nowhere slowly.
Long and drawn out. I hung in there convinced there was going be a twist...none came.
