Scrublands by Chris Hammer - 368 pages
An isolated Australian town is devastated by an unspeakable tragedy. One year later, journalist Martin Scarsden is visiting the town of Riversend to write about how the town has recovered. Scarsden soon finds that the story is much more nuanced than anyone ever suspected and the tragedy is still unfolding in the present day. This novel is intricately plotted and new twists unfold throughout. The characters are well developed and each speak with a distinct voice. I also enjoyed the Australian setting and learning about the impact of drought on the isolated community.
