The Lost Man

The dry desolate land of the outback. A man found dead by a lone gravestone far away from his car which is fully stocked with water and food in case of emergency. He had no water on him and was searching for shade in a barren land. The little shade of the gravestone not giving him the relief his body so needed.
Harper does a terrific job exposing the landscape for what it is; as well as the descriptiveness of the hardiness of the people who survive there and the relationships they have.
Great twists and background stories. A good ole fashioned who done it, done well!

I’m hoping to read his next loved her first one didn’t like the second one very much but hope this one is redeeming. Thanks for review

It’s a little ‘dry� Kevin. But it did get extra points for the unseen twist. Not as powerful as her first one but def one to pick up
Fabulous review, Jen! Glad you enjoyed this too!

Fabulous review, Jen. I loved her first book more than the second, and am looking forward to reading this one. I so enjoy reading about the landscape and country down-under. She's one of my favourite authors.
Mine too, Kathleen. It gives you an appreciation for that land down under. Hopefully will get there one day!
Fantastic review Jen! So glad you loved this one too!
Wonderful review, Jen, I think her descriptive writing of the landscapes is what she does best, and in both her first and this one, that opening scene... what an image!

I loved this one, too, Jen! So true about the hardiness of the people. Wonderful review!
Thanks, Jennifer!
This sounds so good, Jen! I am looking forward to this one! :)
Hope you enjoy it, Jaline!
"A good ole fashioned who done it, done well!" You said it, Jen! Excellent review!
I love this one too, especially the way Harper writes the subtleties and nuances. Would you recommend her others? When I love a book I am often reluctant to read the author's back catalog as I have frequently been disappointed.

If you like the landscape and these people who are hardened by their envirnonment, you'll enjoy it for sure.
I sure did enjoy this book and the location reminded me of the remote desert parts of Texas. Wonderful review, Jen!
Thanks Marilyn! Hopefully she will deliver another one soon :)
