Why read it?
1 author picked Broken Bay as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Third in the Mark Ariti series, Broken Bay is still a great stand alone, and especially awesome in terms of having an unusual weaponised setting. Sinkholes. Who would have thought that beautiful and mysterious environment could be so innately deadly?

From Bronwyn's list on thrillers that weaponise the environment.
