Once again Harper proves that she is peerless in creating an
avalanche of suspense with intimate, character-driven set pieces
that are as exquisitely engineered as the inner workings of a
Steinway. Harper's legions of fans will exult in reading
Exiles -- David Baldacci, bestselling author of
Mercy
While so much egregiously repetitive, flatly written fare holds
sway in the crime fiction idiom, it's a cause for celebration when
genuinely accomplished writers energise things. A prime example?
Antipodean star Jane Harper... she remains incontrovertibly the
reigning queen of Aussie crime fiction. * Financial Times *
I loved Exiles, Jane is a hugely gifted writer and her
depiction of the relationships in it is masterful -- Marian Keyes,
bestselling author of Rachel's Holiday
Harper skillfully ratchets up the tension in this powerful,
slow-burning portrait of small-town life. . . high quality,
atmospheric crime fiction * The Mail on Sunday *
Exiles is the kind of crime novel you move into rather than
just reading it - a wholly absorbing set of mysteries, a cast of
characters that feels entirely real and a setting so vivid you can
practically smell the breeze through the bushland. Aaron Falk is
the still centre of the novel, a quiet presence like no other in
crime fiction. Exceptional in every way. -- Jane Casey, Author of
The Burning
A truly wonderful read. Rich in detail, landscape and character and
deeply satisfying on all levels. -- Sarah Hilary, Author of
Someone Else's Skin
Exiles is an outstanding crime novel, rich in mystery and
atmosphere and full of heart. Utterly immersive, captivating and
beautifully written; I lost myself completely within its pages and
was bereft when it ended. Jane Harper is a rare jewel of an author
and Exiles deserves to be huge. It blew me away. It's my book of
the year so far. -- C. L. Taylor author of The Guilty Couple
'Jane Harper has once again produced an ingenious, moving and
hugely satisfying mystery. This is crime writing perfection' -- C.
M. Ewan, author of The Interview
'This is a softer, gentler Harper, but with the same fine writing
and addictive storytelling' -- Ann Cleeves, bestselling author of
the Vera Stanhope series
Falk's investigation is a terrific one, but what makes the book
memorable is Harper's skill at plumbing personal mysteries - for
instance, why a friendship has ebbed, or how not knowing the fate
of a loved one affects a family. * New York Times *
Atmospheric, beautifully observed and fluently written, this is
Harper back at her very best * Daily Mail *
Jane Harper is laying the foundations of a very clever plot that is
built on character rather than carnage. . . Only a writer sure of
her considerable abilities would dare to proceed so leisurely,
embedding clues and red herrings, so that the final hundred pages
are thrilling and devastating. -- The Times Book of the Month
A murky, unsolved crime in the past; an Australian setting so
dramatic it's almost a character in itself; a tall, thin Melbourne
federal agent with close-cropped, white-blond hair and invisible
eyelashes: These are the hallmarks of Jane Harper's Aaron Falk
mysteries * Washington Post *
I have loved every thriller Australian author Jane Harper has
written, and Exiles is no exception. . . As ever with Harper, the
facts begin to lock together with supremely satisfying effect, as
Falk gets closer to the truth of what happened to Kim. The Lost
Man, set in the vast, scorched outback of Queensland, remains my
favourite of her thrillers, but Exiles is now a close second. --
Alison Flood, The Observer
The possibility of Falk finding love is a tender counterpoint to
the murder mystery in this worthy conclusion to one of the most
outstanding of recent crime series * Daily Express *
If you're a fan of Jane's The Dry and The Lost Man, you won't be
surprised to hear this is another must-read, one that you'll
reluctantly leave to do life things like eating and tidying *
Belfast Telegraph *
The only disappointment in this outing for Aaron Falk is that
Harper is adament it is to be his last. A powerful and affecting
novel -- SJ Watson
The tight-knit group has rifts so deep nobody might have imagined *
SimpleNews *
Atmospheric, beautifully observed and fluently written, this is
Harper back at her very best * Mail Online *
