This is the third novel I have read by Jane Harper – and, yet again, I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a clever tale: a locked room mystery, yet set in the vast Australian outback. It is amazing how somewhere so open could be so suffocating – but it certainly can be isolating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cam dies, at the site of the isolated grave of the stockman: a landmark that has become infamous with all the stories surrounding it. And now there will be another story: why would Cam be there alone when he knows the territory and the dangers so well. So easily it is written off as a choice Cam made, but his brother Nathan is not so sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the tale unfolds, secrets are unearthed and characters are called into question. Especially the character of Cam. Could someone have killed him after all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a brillaintly atmospheric book. Using the landscape of the Australian outback, not just as a setting but also as a chracter. I could not put it down, as there are a number of interesting threads that lead into the overall mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would really recommend the books of Jane Harper, so why not give them a go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
