![]() ![]() It all kicks off with Cameron being found dead on his grounds, away from his car. ![]() ![]() I felt the relentless sun baking down on me and even had to check my water supplies. Like in The Dry, Jane Harper’s writing is descriptive and evocative to the extent that I was completely transported from London and mediocre temperatures to the dry, unforgiving outback, where nobody survives for long if getting lost. The story is set in the outback of Queensland, Australia, where both Nathan and his brother Cameron own wast cattle farms, where you can drive for miles without seeing a living soul. Her debut The Dry was enjoyable, but The Lost Man is in a different league altogether. With The Lost Man, Jane Harper could very well join these two favourite authors. James are some of my favourite authors within this corner of crime fiction. When reading my favourite mysteries, I regularly forget about the mystery at hand, because I get so immersed in the stories of the individual characters. No, it’s the slow, character driven stories, which appeal the most. However, I am not a big fan of modern crime thrillers with a twist on every other page and an abundance of unreliable narrators. I love crime fiction! Even if I’ve diversified my reading in recent years, I always return to this genre. ![]()
