The Lost Man

I very much enjoyed The Lost Man by Jane Harper, another fine piece of storytelling by this author.  The story opens with the horrific death of a man in the desert at "The Stockman's Grave".  We then learn who he was and his family is at a loss to understand how he could have died there.  He has an older brother Nathan who owns an adjacent property.  Nathan and his son Xander are staying at the family property for Christmas. The family and police are at a loss to determine the circumstances which led to the death in the desert.  As Nathan explores possibilities, he soon learns that he didn't know his brother well at all.  A good mystery set amidst the harsh outback.  Harper makes you feel the heat and desert sand.  41/2/5
