I just finished The Lost Man by Jane Harper. This is truly excellent, 5/5! The central mystery is intriguing and unfolds neatly and convincingly, but it is the deep richness behind the main story that makes this book something special. Characters evolve before your eyes. Subjects like suicide, rape and abuse are treated in a matter-of-fact way, not explicit, just part of the fabric of the lives in this story that takes place in the isolation of the remote outback of Australia. It was a book I didn't want to put down, but nor did I want to rush it. This is her third book and so far Jane Harper just keeps getting better.
