A lot of moral complexity in this one. I don't like morally gray stories, where it's trying to say there is no right and wrong, but I do enjoy a story that makes me really have to stop and think about what IS right and wrong in a specific and difficult situation.
Plus, Jane Harper is just a fabulous writer who draws you into the story and has an amazing sense of place!

Jane Harper is the absolute best there is these days when it comes to Australian mystery novels, set in towns that feel so authentic. Shanahan makes for the perfect narrator for her audiobooks as well, with each character so distinctly unique. Highly recommend if you want to read or listen to something you can't step away from.
