After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi.

But now, more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 357
In Riversend, an isolated rural community afflicted by an endless drought, a young priest does the unthinkable, killing five parishioners before being taken down himself. A year later, accompanied by his own demons from wartime reporting, journalist Martin Scarsden arrives in Riversend. His assignment is to describe how the townspeople are coping. But as Martin meets the locals and hears their version of events, he begins to realize that the accepted wisdom - that the priest was a pedophile whose imminent exposure was the catalyst for the shooting - may be wrong.

Homicide detective Frank Bennett has a new partner - dark, beautiful, coldly efficient Eden Archer. Frank doesn’t know what to make of her, or her brother Eric, who’s also on the police force. Their methods are... unusual. But when a graveyard full of large steel toolboxes filled with body parts is found at the bottom of Sydney harbor, unusual is the least of their worries. For Eden and Eric, the case holds chilling links to a scarred childhood - and the murderer who raised them. For Frank, each clue brings him closer to something he’s not sure he wants to face.

Daphne Maritch doesn't quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of '68 had dedicated its yearbook, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion, scribbling notes and observations after each one - not always charitably - and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not, Daphne concluded, "spark joy"), she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment.

A Good Story, A Great Listen

Publisher's Summary
Two brothers meet in the remote Australian outback when the third brother is found dead in this stunning new stand-alone audiobook from New York Times best-seller Jane Harper.
Two brothers meet at the remote fence line separating their cattle ranches in the lonely outback. In an isolated belt of Western Australia, they are each other’s nearest neighbor, their homes a four-hour drive apart. The third brother lies dead at their feet. Something caused Cam, the middle child who had been in charge of the family homestead, to die alone in the middle of nowhere.
So the eldest brother returns with his younger sibling to the family property and those left behind. But the fragile balance of the ranch is threatened. Amid the grief, suspicion starts to take hold, and the eldest brother begins to wonder if more than one among them is at risk of crumbling as the weight of isolation bears down on them all.
Dark, suspenseful, and deeply atmospheric, The Lost Man is the highly anticipated next audiobook from the best-selling and award-winning Jane Harper, author of The Dry and Force of Nature.
Praise for The Lost Man:
“What an extraordinary novel: part family drama, part indelible ode to the Outback - a thriller as forceful and atmospheric as a brewing storm. Harper works miracles. We’re lucky to witness them.” (A.J. Finn, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Woman in the Window)
Critic Reviews
"All at once enthralling.... Book by book, [Harper is] creating her own vivid and complex account of the outback." (New York Times Book Review)
"Australian narrator Stephen Shanahan returns for another knockout performance...It's a slow and bleak affair, but no less enthralling than Harper's and Shanahan's previous efforts." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)
“In addition to the complicated, constantly changing plot, with Jane Harper's brilliant writing and Shanahan's outstanding narration we also experience the stifling heat and brutal oppression of the outback, how it keeps hold of those who live there, drives them, protects and sometimes kills them." (SoundCommentary)

Excellent
I love Jane Harper's writing style. It isn't a grip you by the edge of the seat, but a slow steady story where you learn about the characters in the book and about what took place in their lives leading to the core of the story. I'm looking forward to her next book!

More Please!
I was a tad disappointed at first that Falk was not a character in this story. Jane sure made up for that! Nathan, Liz, Ilse, are all normal people thrust into terrible circumstances. I adore a good thriller and got even more than I bargained for because this story made me experience a wide range of emotions, including my favorite - Hope! Thanks again Jane and Stephen!

Jane Harper's books and the narrator are wonderful. The sound level needs to be increased so that the listener can lower the volume. In many places I couldn't get the sound loud enough to know what was being said.

Great story, remarkable narration.
This was my first contact with a work by Jane Harper. What a pleasant surprise. The story flows very smoothly and the plot unfolds naturally. While that happens you learn more and more about the many characters and about life in the Outback. In the end I felt like I had been there, rambled around the place and spoken to the people.
But most of all I was extremely impressed by the narration. I've heard many books and many narrators. Some very good, others not so much so. Most of the time they sound exactly like it is: a person reading a book. Stephen Shanahan didn't. Especially in the dialogues, I could sense he had studied the text and figured out the best way of saying it. I felt like I was hearing a movie performed by a very good actor. Even simple things like "OK. Thanks." are said with a rhythm and an intonation that make it sound absolutely real.

Beautifully Written & Performed, Un-put-down-able
This really is one of the best books I've listened to in years. I'm not often motivated to write a review, but this is one of those times. This is a compelling, dramatic mystery and I felt a real urgency to see it resolved, but at the same time it's a careful character study and a subtle family drama. The beautifully described Australian outback landscape becomes a character in its own right, and the performance by Stephen Shanahan is absolutely wonderful.

Tennessee Williams of the Outback
This was a wonderful and satisfying book, an all-time favorite for me. Characters and plot were richly developed. One of the main characters is the Outback itself, It is difficult to conceive of anywhere else in the world where the events described could have taken place. The Narrator and writing were so good that I felt that I was watching a play rather than listening to a book. In fact, I think Jane Harper can be favorably compared to Tennessee Williams, This book had a whole bunch of Cats on a very Hot Tin Roof!

As good if not a tad better than #1.
A great story, well read, that explores the costs of isolation and abuse as it spins a satisfying who dun' it. Not too psychologically mawkish to mar narrative of the outback. Literate well written mystery--highly recommend.

As Good or Better than The Dry
Stark and absorbing in all the right ways. Harper ‘s gift for storytelling shines here!
