Home Before Night
J P Pomare
Reviewed by Helen
This is my second J. P. Pomare book and one I really enjoyed, this one is set in Melbourne during the lockdowns and this is a first for me.
A new curfew has just been announced and everyone must be home by 8.00pm, divorced mother Lou is waiting on her eighteen year old son Samuel to arrive before the curfew hits otherwise they must stay for the next four weeks where they are, when he doesn’t arrive home and she cannot contact him Lou pushes the panic buttons, does she have a reason to? Can she call the police knowing the secrets she holds?
There are lots of different twists in this mystery, thriller, my mind had all different thoughts trying to sort out what was happening, and the ending was not what I expected at all, a short story that I did in one sitting, it is fast paced and has lots happening in, characters that add to the story.
It is one that I would highly recommend come along for the journey and discover all of the secrets from the past that caused lots of suspense and drama in the now.
My thanks to Hachette AU for my copy to read and review.
