Story
Ned West dreams of sailing across the river on a boat of his very own. To Ned, a boat means freedom–the fresh open water, squid-rich reefs, fires on private beaches–a far cry from life on Limberlost, the family farm, where his father worries and grieves for Ned's older brothers. They're away fighting in a ruthless and distant war, becoming men on the battlefield, while Ned–too young to enlist–roams the land in search of rabbits to shoot, selling their pelts to fund his secret boat ambitions. But as the seasons pass and Ned grows up, real life gets in the way.

Story
After the puzzling death of a shopkeeper in rural Australia, troubled detective Dana Russo has just 12 hours to interrogate the prime suspect - a silent, inscrutable man found at the scene of the crime, who simply vanished 15 years earlier. Where has he been? And just how dangerous is he? Without conclusive evidence linking him to the killing, Dana must race against time to persuade him to speak.

Story
1987: It's late summer and a time of change when a 17-year-old girl leaves the local shopping center in the sleepy town of Lowbridge and is never seen again. Her unsolved disappearance is never far from the town's memory. There's those who grew up in the shadow of her loss whose own lives were altered forever, and those who know more than they're saying. It just takes an outsider to ask the right questions.

Story
Percival Everett's The Trees is a must-listen that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.

Publisher's Summary
A gothic thriller exploring rural Australia's simultaneous celebration of harsh country and stoic people—a tension that forces its inhabitants to dangerous breaking points.
On a remote property in western NSW, eight-year-old Parker fears that something is wrong with his brain. His desperate attempts to control this internal chaos spark a series of events that gallop from his control in deadly and devastating ways.
Years later, Parker, now a father himself, returns to the bushland he grew up in for a camping trip with old friends. When this reunion descends into chaos amid revelations of unresolved fear, guilt and violence, Parker must finally address the consequences of his childhood actions.

Thought provoking, beautiful and dark
Denizen is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve had the pleasure of hearing. It had as much impact on me as ‘Once Were Warriors’ once did.
I’m still reeling from the emotional roller coaster that is Denizen, and will be wiping my eyes probably for the rest of the day.
An incredible must read.

Struggled to Finish
This is a well written book but the subject matter was challenging and I found it difficult to continue listening at times. The author successfully created an underlying dread throughout the whole story.

Wow
Some of this story was shocking and took me out of my comfort zone, but I couldn't put it down. At the end I was saddened by how confronting it was. Congratulations for winning a literary award for this story, it is truly deserved. You have me hooked on your writing style, I just want more.

Don’t know what to feel about this
The authors choice is probably never starker than in this story - would the easier path have been to avoid not the descent into chaos - depicted so thoroughly through relationships and inner head narratives, but the dichotomy of violence for the divergent waves of broken care?

Not for me
I must have masochistic tendencies as I did manage to finish this book , only because it was a book club choice .
Probably an insightful choice for a mental health professional but as a layman this holds nothing for me , I found absolutely no pleasure in the sadistic relationships and characters in this book .
