I am completely enamoured with the Rowland Sinclair series. Focusing on the sinister disappearance of a loyal stockman, Harry Simpson, Rowland and his friends venture into the high country to discover what happened. Of course they come across a bumbling English Lord, a feisty feminist writer, dangerous stockmen and murder.
Also, loved the little sneaky revelation at the end of the book - how brilliant.

These books just keep getting better and better. Love the engaging characters and the Australian history.

Liked this less than the previous two, but obviously still liked it quite a bit! And though people say the High Country stars in this book, I don't think it really did.
Nevertheless, a rollicking read with Sulari Gentill's usual deft story-telling hand.

This one made me homesick for the high country... My favourite of the Rowland Sinclair books so far. Guest appearance by a very famous and eccentric female writer.

I find myself really enjoying this series. The characters are fun and mystery is exciting.
