It's the second book in the Aaron Falk detective series, the first *The Dry* I read here for a BR last year and I really love this character and the way that Jane Harper writes.
Typically her way of writing mysteries are much more 'story' based than the reader trying to work it out themselves if that makes sense? You're going along with Falk's pace of working things out rather than it being a shared mystery but with the nature of how her stories go (usually connected to Falk) that really works here, imo.
If you like human drama heavy mysteries set in the more rural and wild parts of Australia, I can't recommend Jane Harper enough - her newest book, Exiles came out this year and I'll be reading that soon too
