The Lost Man
Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours 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. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish.
Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects...

A beautifully written book about life as an Outback Australian farming family and the death/murder of one of their own. Jane Harper’s style of writing makes her book easily readable. Right from the beginning, I was invested in the family and I wanted to know ‘who-done-it’! The reveal at the end totally took me by surprise! I shall definitely read more by this author. Catherine 8/10
Atmospheric- she uses the landscape to create a sense of foreboding and unease. The plot twist was totally unexpected. It was a real page turner- highly recommend Maeve 8/10
The author creates a vivid picture of the Australian outback and the people who live there. It’s a gripping story with some twists and turns along the way. A riveting read. Ro 8/10
