Book the lost man5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It was interesting to read a stand-alone book and not a new book in the Aaron Falk series. The Lost Man is so far my favorite book by Jane Harper. Check also the Readers' Guide (after you've read the novel) ( ) The novel is essentially a stand-alone so if you haven't read it yet, it comes highly recommended. I am interested in hearing what my group generally thinks of what seems to be the final resolution of the mystery. The story has a number of small mysteries embedded, the answers to which are gradually revealed. This novel raises so many themes associated with its Australian setting: what it is like living in the Outback, remote locations, what it is like living hundreds or even thousands of miles from towns and cities, as well as more "modern" themes like abuse and domestic violence, the importance of being part of a community, broken marriages, Jane Harper came to the notice of readers with her first novel THE DRY, and THE LOST MAN was her third. I was really pleased to find that our first read is Jane Harper's THE LOST MAN which I have actually read before, soon after it was published. ![]() The local library is supplying our books on a monthly basis, and virtually all of them are recent Australian crime fiction. This year I am leading a Crime Fiction Reading group at my local U3A. ![]()
