Wow! That was brilliant!! Not sure it should be classify as a thriller, mystery maybe a bit more, but in both case the crime is just a pretext to present a rich and deep story! Yes it read like a thriller, a true page turner, but even if we want to know what happen, it was the strength of those characters that leads us in this journey. It's a story about brothers relationship, about family, about love, about pattern of life, about choices, about what people see in us and what we see in them and how it's often not a fair representation of reality, and about so much more! A book that goes way beyond its genre. A literacy work! Of course the ambiance is there, it's always the case with this author, we feel the isolation and the out sun of that desolated Australia outback. Her best work so far without a doubt! A must read to everyone! I highly recommend! Beautiful novel!
