The Lost Man by Jane Harper

The Lost Man by Jane Harper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book takes place in the Australian outback, and the author paints the setting with such vivid strokes that it becomes a character in the story. It takes place on a cattle station, isolated and alone in a very harsh and deadly landscape. It's the story of a family and their secrets.

I thought the book started slow and took a while to really capture my attention. I'm not sure why. I think it took me a while to appreciate the setting and while the book is written in English, there are some cultural differences that I needed to adjust to.

I gave it a three star rating, because I'm still thinking about the ending. It heads into some murky territory that I'm not too sure what to make of.
