Australian author Jane Harper quickly became one of my favorite storytellers. Her book The Lost Man was one of my Best Reads of 2019. It seems like it's been a long time since she's had a new book, so when her newest book appeared on my radar, I did a little jig around the house. (Hey-- that ain't easy on an electric scooter!)
Let me share the details.

Synopsis:
"New York Times bestselling author Jane Harper is back with Exiles, a new mystery featuring Aaron Falk, the detective from the bestseller and major motion picture The Dry.
At a busy festival site on a warm spring night, a baby lies alone in her stroller, her mother vanishing into the crowds.
A
year on, Kim Gillespie’s absence casts a long shadow as her friends and
loved ones gather deep in the heart of South Australian wine country to
welcome a new addition to the family.
Joining the celebrations
is federal investigator Aaron Falk. But as he soaks up life in the lush
valley, he begins to suspect this tight-knit group may be more fractured
than it seems. Between Falk’s closest friend, a missing mother, and a
woman he’s drawn to, dark questions linger as long-ago truths begin to
emerge."
Exiles sounds like another winner from Harper, doesn't it? I can't wait to read it! How about you? Are any of you fellow Harper fans?
Yes, I'm a Harper fan, except for the last book. The Lost Man was excellent as was The Dry. This one looks good. By the way, turned on a friend to Suburban Dicks. She told me on the phone she loves it. I can't wait until I get The Self-Made Widow. Pull down the shades, turn off the computer and the phone, get chocolate, iced tea and read. A readacation.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an excellent plan!
DeleteI read and enjoyed the first two of the Falk books and I look forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to hear from another Harper fan. :-)
DeleteThis does look fantastic, Cathy! I really like the way Harper depicts setting and atmosphere, and in this case, it's especially appealing. I've been to South Australia's wine country, so this one resonates! I like the way Harper develops her characters, too.
ReplyDeleteSo do I.
DeleteThis does sound like a winner!
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with Harper's books, Lark?
DeleteYes, I'm very excited about this one. So happy that she is bringing Aaron Falk back. I loved her first two books so much!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've missed Falk, too.
DeleteYes, I had seen the announcement about this and already have it on my list. Between The Dry and The Lost Man, she's definitely one author I watch for.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's that shared reading DNA, FR! ;-)
DeleteOh, yes, for this book by Jane Harper.
