The Lost Man

Jane Harper has a real knack of plonking you right in the middle of the dry, parched, desolate, snake ridden Australian outback. My Jeans are caked in dust, there's sand in my unmentionables. This is a really good story. The prose is stark, it's a slow burner really explodes into life in the last 100 or pages. Not for you if you like quick page turners with twists you weren't expecting.
