Three brothers, one death, no answers
Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland.
They are at the stockman’s grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron.
The Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish.
Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects…
Reviews with the most likes.
Not a lot of action, especially in the first half, but atmospheric and tense.
I love how this book deals with life in the outback. Unflinchingly, and accurately. While the undercurrent is quite familiar to me, professionally and personally, it still leaves me speechless when it is written so well.
Wow! Dare I say this is her best yet? As in The Dry, Jane Harper is so good at conveying that stifling, oppressive feel of the Australian outback. The mystery kept me guessing throughout the novel, I was so sure I knew what happened, only to change my mind again and again. I couldn't put it down.
