Kieran Elliot has returned home to help his parents. They are packing up their home in the coastal town and are moving to the city where Kieran's dad can get the help he needs for his memory issues. Kieran and his partner, also from his hometown, are enjoying the quiet time out of the city with their baby when a young woman's body is found on the beach. It brings up a lot of memories of Kieran's brother and the accident that claimed his life. As the police investigate the death of the young woman, evidence comes to light of that accident all those years ago. Are they connected? Will it destroy Kieran's life all over again?
The Survivors is a more than just a mystery novel. There are layers and histories to the characters that make it more. Kieran Elliot is the perfect example. Right out of the gate the author lets you know that Kieran has "killed" somebody, and that is long before they find the woman on the beach. You are intrigued and hooked. It takes a while for what happened then, and now, to unfold. And honestly, the story drags at time. But be sure to stay with it in order to get the complete story. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - While I wanted to love The Survivors, it wasn't my favorite. Not because the mystery wasn't a good one, but because there were parts of it that just seemed to drag. I think the fast-paced nature of my recent reads made this book seem a little of draggy.
