The Death of Us by Abigail Dean. More a slow paced suspense than a thriller, this is the tale of the effect of a violent crime on a young married couple and their lives, as they await the trial of the perpetrator nearly thirty years later. Powerful and heart wrenching.

Aussie author Michael Trant's Gabe Ahern character is just the right tracker to navigate difficult bush terrain to find gold thieves and murderers. Blood and Gold is the third in this excellent outback series. Fun to read and great narration if you're a listener.
My review of Blood and Gold
