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. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke’s steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now, more than one person knows they didn’t tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.

Story
Kieran Elliott’s life changed forever on a single day when a reckless mistake led to devastating consequences. The guilt that still haunts him resurfaces during a visit with his young family to the small coastal town he once called home. Twelve years earlier the storm of the century claimed the lives of Kieran’s brother and his friend. There was also a third casualty that day. A teenage girl, last spotted on the sand as the weather rolled in, then never seen again. Kieran has barely arrived back in town after a long absence when a body is washed up on the nearby beach.

Story
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.

Some lines should never be crossed. Police corruption, an investigation that ends in tragedy and the mystery of a little girl’s silence – three unconnected events that will prove to be linked by one small town. While detective Cormac Reilly faces enemies at work and trouble in his personal life, garda Peter Fisher is relocated out of Galway with the threat of prosecution hanging over his head. But even that is not as terrible as having to work for his overbearing father, the local copper for the pretty seaside town of Roundstone.

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)

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
