Blood Sisters by Cate Quinn
A gripping and brilliantly evocative thriller set in the Australian outback, where two young American sorority sisters come under investigation for a gruesome murder in a small mining town. Combines the atmosphere of THE DRY with the irresistible character-driven narrative of BIG LITTLE LIES.
Beth and Lauren are backpackers from California who have run out of money in Western AustraliaWhen they take jobs in a seedy outback bar whose owner hires girls to attract custom from a mining company, they become targets of a group of thuggish men. This is not the usual story of vulnerable women in jeopardy, however, but one in which the victims fight back. * SUNDAY TIMES *
