A review by lomas
The Lost Man, by Jane Harper
4.0
4.5 stars
This is Jane Harper's third book... I've liked every one of them enormously. She is definitely on my list of read whatever they publish authors.
This one is set in the huge expanse of the Australian out back,yet despite that the story felt claustaphobic to me.
A small cast,a lot of tension and an unexplained death.
The story is revealed layer by layer,so for me,by the end it wasn't a surprise to find out what exactly had happened,in fact it almost felt like there couldn't be any other outcome.
The whole book had some great characters,from the three main siblings,all so very different,the anxious son and the bullying father... each perfect for the role they played.
Another fantastic read from Harper.... can't wait to see what she brings us next.
