Cameron has been found dead, and Nathan, Bub, and the rest of the family are left to wonder why it is that Cameron ventured out into the scorching heat on his own with no supplies or transportation. Three brothers grew up in this small town, Nathan, Cameron, and Bub.
Our location is still in Australia, this time in a small outback town in North Queensland, and our story concerns the Bright Family. The description fell more in line with the kind of mystery I like anyway, less of a ‘whodunnit’ and more of a ‘dark secrets of family badness coming to light’ kind of story. Once I did a little more digging I realized that it was actually a new story with whole new characters, but that was just fine by me. So when I saw that her newest book, “The Lost Man”, was available on NetGalley I assumed that I was requesting the newest Aaron Falk adventure. What I didn’t realize was that she has also decided to write standalone novels. Her “Aaron Falk” series has had two pretty strong installments, and given that I liked the second one more I feel/hope that the trajectory can only go up as the series goes on. I was late hopping on the Jane Harper train, but now I like to think of myself as a loyal fan.
Review: I want to extend a thanks to NetGalley for sending me an eARC of this novel! Did he lose hope and walk to his death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects…ĭark, suspenseful, and deeply atmospheric, The Lost Man is the highly anticipated next book from the bestselling and award-winning Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature. The Bright family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. They are at the stockman’s grave, a landmark so old, no one can remember who is buried there.
Where Did I Get This Book: I received an eARC from NetGalley.īook Description: Two brothers meet at the border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of outback Queensland, in this stunning new standalone novel from New York Times bestseller Jane Harper. Publishing Info: Flatiron Press, February 2019
