As with her other novels, this is set in the Australian outback. And it vividly conveys the sheer vastness of it, the blistering heat, and how families live incredibly remote and isolated lives in this harsh environment. While the main plot is about a mysterious death, it's also an exploration of family, domestic violence and grief. It's a real page turner and a gripping story.
