About this deal

Maybe I would feel different with another format where I could backtrack to refresh my memory and underline or take notes, but very annoying when this becomes necessary. However, there is an incident that occurred in The Dry that is referred to in this one that I consider a spoiler. DISCLOSURE: I borrowed my copy of Exiles, by Jane Harper and published by Pan Macmillan Australia, from Waitomo District Library. But, I picked up the book for a suspenseful mystery and while I did like how the story is built up, the final reveal was more than disappointing and very predictable. Barossa Valley, altra zona vinicola dell’Australia del sud usata da Jane Harper per ambientare il romanzo.

He has a troubled past that will never let him go but he does his best to treat people right and be a good friend to the few people he's befriended. I think one of the strongest aspects of Harper's books is the effort that she puts into the setting.The premise of Exiles by Jane Harper is interesting and I really like Aaron Falk’s characterization as well as the setting. Kim used to be in a relationship with Greg’s brother Charlie, and they had a daughter who is distraught at her mother's disappearance - she still hasn’t been found a year later. The beautiful countryside and peaceful valley and the possibility of a romance has Falk assessing his own work obsessed life. I was suspicious of many while reading this and the book just keeps laying down each conversation, clues, and thoughts by Falk and others, brick by brick until the reveal.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Most of the story is set at a vineyard and a carnival which should lend itself to beautiful scenery, yet I hard time picturing any of it.As with her other books, this one is highly atmospheric, and the contrast of the serene and beautiful Australian wine country with the darker side of human nature is compelling. Aaron Falk is a fully realized character (especially after two earlier books), who ends up playing the role of wise, observant outsider.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Publishers for sending me an ARC of Exiles in exchange for an honest review. Joining the celebrations on a rare break from work is federal investigator Aaron Falk, who begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. As Aaron was drawn into the mystery of the past, he also learned about a hit-and-run six years earlier which had never been solved. While Falk investigates this mystery, he has a new romance brewing on the sidelines and big decisions that could affect his career and overall life. Kim had not been found and there have been no clues or explanation as to why she would leave her baby behind.

No mystery spoilers for Force of Nature, but FYI it is the only book of Jane Harper’s I rated less than 5 stars – I gave it four. She was just short of six weeks old, a good weight for her age, healthy and well, other than being completely alone. In questa terza avventura di Aaron Falk, Harper rinuncia ai “corsivi”: cioè, a quelle parti, stampate appunto in corsivo, in cui l’autore da voce a personaggi diversi dal protagonista. Though her body was never found, the general consensus is that she snuck out of the festival and jumped to her death into the nearby reservoir.
