Fantastic new book by Jane Harper set in the vastness of the Australian Outback, so atmospheric... showing the dangers and loneliness that come with a life lived there.
This story is about three brothers who together own quite a spread of land, and one brother is found dead near an old stockman’s grave on their property.
This novel is as much family drama as mystery/thriller and I really enjoyed the characters of the extended family.
I received this book from a ŷ giveaway, so, much thanks to them!

Lovely review. I'm glad you also appreciated it, despite being relatively slow paced.
I’m not a mystery/thriller reader but this sounds good ! Nice review, Karen.

Dana wrote: "Great review, Karen! I need to try this author this year!"Yes Dana! This was a stand alone book and you should maybe try this one first... so good!! The other two are good too and involve a really great detective, but this one is very much the story of a family😊
Karen, I loved The Dry, but heard the second book was just ok. This book is getting all kinds of love. I'm looking forward to it! I do love family drama added to my stories :)

Great review, Karen! The family dynamics in this story were so believable!
I am always thrilled when someone I know wins a giveaway. Congratulations! This novel is my introduction to Jane Harper. Your review followed by mutual friend Debbie W's motivated me to pick this one up. I am impressed with her character development and her use of the environment to create her story.
