An Australian sheep farmer in the UK is running from her past... But who's she really afraid of? Disturbing, foreboding, heavy atmosphere, paranoia, non-linear narrative, open ending. 
 This was a good book, but it wasn't exactly an enjoyable read. Jake Whyte is a sheep farmer who believes that someone is killing her sheep. She is terrified of who this person could be and is constantly paranoid - hearing noises at home, refusing to get close to anyone in the UK, even to the point of avoiding most public places, like the local pub. She takes in a drifter who is passing through and whose presence offers her some comfort. 
 I enjoyed the non-linear narrative - the odd numbered chapters are told in the present, moving forward through time, and the even numbered chapters are told in the past, moving backwards through time. Jake has been through a lot, as the reader realizes the further back in time those even numbered chapters go, (view spoiler)[(one could say she's put herself through a lot) (hide spoiler)], and it's no wonder she's traumatized and paranoid. The book has a very heavy atmosphere - Jake's constant fear is disturbing and makes the reader nervous that something is coming for her. 
 The audio narrator, Cat Gould, is pretty good - she switches nicely between the Australian and British accents, but her male voices could get annoying or odd. Especially during Jake's coffee at Don's house - Don sounded like a pirate, which was made all the more absurd since he was talking about stuff like "Instantchino" and other mundane things. 
 The ending felt very abrupt, although I guess it's fitting in light of Jake's past and the cause of all of her troubles.
