The Lost Man
The Lost Man | Jane Harper
The gripping new novel from the author of the Sunday Times top ten bestsellers, The Dry and Force of Nature. He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him and his skin was cracked. Whatever had been going through Cameron's mind when he was alive, he didn't look peaceful in death. Two brothers meet at the remote fence line separating their cattle farms under the relenting sun of the remote outback. In an isolated part of Western Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes three hours' drive apart. They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron, who lies dead at their feet. Something had been on Cam's mind. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects... The Lost Man is the highly anticipated new book from the bestselling and award-winning Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature.

Catching up posting March reads today! This was the only Jane Harper I hadn't read, so it was my #AuthorAMonth selection for March. It had all the atmospheric qualities that Harper's books usually have, this one's landscape being remote, barren, hot, dry, and unforgiving. The characters were well drawn, and the mystery was engaging as usual. @Soubhiville

Mehso-so

I think I'm in the minority here, but this one just wasn't for me, despite having really enjoyed some of Harper's other books. This story was just relentlessly depressing. With a strong focus on abuse and how that reverberates through a family even when the abuser is gone, plus some bonus content regarding rape, divorce, community ostracizing, depression, suicide, isolation, etc. I was just honestly sad the entire time I was reading this. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I did really care about these characters and there is a (mostly) happy ending, but it was a long slog through a morass of sadness to get there. Plus, while I was interested to find out what happened to Cam, this book wasn't particularly suspenseful. It's really about a sad, lonely, depressed man trying to make sense of his life and figure out what happened to his brother. Not a bad story, but not remotely a nail-biter. 1w

Cameron, middle son of the Bright family in the far far outback, is found dead miles from his well-stocked truck. It looks like an unpleasant suicide but why end it this way? His older brother Nathan, the town outcast for many years, has his own demons but manages to slowly put unusual pieces of information together to find out what happens—and it truly is a surprise! I did feel like things ended a little too well, everyone‘s problems solved. ⬇️

CatLass007 What happens really is a surprise. 2w
Texreader I tried reading The Dry at the same time as this one and that was a no-go. Too many similarities. Outcasts trying to figure out apparent suicides. It turns out the books have a tenuous connection that really threw me for a loop—causing such confusion! So I put this one down and finished The Dry first. This was a much slower read than The Dry and until a child in the story spoke up revealing a deeper mystery, I struggled to keep my attention. ⬇️ 2w

In the Australian outback, brothers Nathan and Bub meet at the border of their properties where their brother Cam is found dead. How did they get to this point (little contact with each other, and one of them dead) and what happens next. I listened to the audiobook - very good - many chapters ended with a cliff hanger - I had to keep reading, I had to know about this family and how it would turn out for them.

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Low pick. Not my usual genre but I needed a #setinAustralia for #52Books23 and wanted to stretch my comfort zone. I guess this is not just a whodunit but a didanyonedoitatall and a whydidithappen. The gradual reveal of convoluted backstory was both frustrating and interesting and I was satisfied with the ending.

Tagged is for #52Books23 #setinAustralia and the other two are to do some cramming about perimenopause (yay! Plus two more should come in next week). Getting old is not for the faint of heart.

I had read a couple of Jane Harper books, so I looked for the next book when #Australia came up on the #FoodAndLit list

Instead I stumbled upon a deal for this stand alone. The ending did surprise me (though I imagine seasoned mystery readers might guess 😂)

A body is found by the Stockman‘s grave, out in the outback. It looks like an experienced land owner left his fully stocked car and wandered into the desert. But was it really what happened?

Jane Harper‘s standalone crime novel makes the most of both the oppressive nature of the Australian Outback and the loneliness of life out there to create a slow burn reveal of bad behaviour and family secrets. I particularly liked the slow reveal of Nathan and Cameron‘s backstory and characters, which worked very well and although the ending has a bit of a pat feel to it, I would definitely check out Harper‘s other books.

Set in the Australian Outback this is such an atmospheric book again by Jane Harper. When one of three brothers is found dead in the middle of nowhere, it raises many questions. How did he end up there, without his car or supplies? The small community starts suspecting each other. A very good psychological mystery!

I'm a huge Jane Harper fan. I love her writing style and the images it invokes. The stories are wonderful mysteries that slowly unravel the truth told by characters that are flawed and dealing with their emotions. The Lost Man did not disappoint.

Cameron is found dead at a gravesite in an isolated corner of the family's outback property. His car is not nearby, what is he doing there? And how did he get there?

This author, once again, blew me out of the water. Originally heard of Jane Harper after I read “The Dry.” Was a huge fan of the writing and storytelling so I decided to give this book a whirl. Super stoked I did. The characters are relatable, warm, and genuine. Harper manages to flawlessly intertwine multiple themes that are sometimes hard to bring to light. The best part about this book is that it will have you guessing until the very last page

After loving “The Dry” I decided to give The Lost Man a read and I‘m glad I did. It‘s another excellent read. I feels similar to The Dry and I think this is why I enjoyed the original more. Despite this The Lost Man is still an excellent book filled with well written characters, intrigue and had me guessing until the end.

Spending tonight #audiojournaling to another of Jane Harpers brilliant Aussie crime novels. After The Dry, this is my favourite story. Set again in the bush, this time in QLD, it‘s a family drama on a large cattle property. When Cam, middle brother of three, is found dead miles away from his well stocked car, suspicions start to circulate until secrets & lies are dragged out into the light. Can you really trust family? Love the audio of this👍

My first #Booked2021 title - for the prompt Set in Australia

The setting is a remote cattle farm in the Outback. Cam Bright is found dead of exposure 10 kilometers from his vehicle. An experienced local, no one can explain how this could have happened...unless it was murder. Great family drama and tension. Also a plus-a detective-less mystery told from the POV of the victim‘s older brother.

Unintentionally Jane Harper for both. Ha! The tagged book first which was mainly read by the ocean in front of my house then The Survivors last, read on the edge of the Australian outback on my family farm. It should have been the other way around 😂 1 was way better than the other. She did just have a baby though. My new book is for #LMPBC & is The watchmaker of Filigree St. Looking forward to a few lazy days in the hammock coming up #Goodbye2020

🎧 Thank you Libby, it‘s been awhile. This is my third Jane Harper book, not from the Faulk series & oddly my favorite. The Outback becomes a character. It‘s so well defined. The story slowly unfolds. It‘s like you‘re pulled in with the players and come to know them. Great character development and location building. Good drama/mystery! The narrator was amazing and that Aussie accent, immersive book! 💗 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3

vivastory Lost Man is easily one of my fave mysteries of the year. I picked up the anthology from the library the other day. Sounds like a fun read! 3y

There is a mystery to be solved in this book; however, Jane Harper has created something so much more. In remote Australia, Nathan tries to figure out how his middle brother died out on their cattle land. There are interesting family dynamics and a lot of history intertwined into the mystery. I‘ve never been to Australia and Jane‘s writing made me feel immersed in the experience. I absolutely love her writing! 🧡 #MountTBR

Ruthiella I‘m hoping to read this for #Booked2021. I found her debut OK but really liked her second title! 😀 3y
