Exiles Summary

Exiles: The heart-pounding new Aaron Falk thriller from the No. 1 bestselling author of The Dry and Force of Nature by Jane Harper

'Addictive storytelling' - Ann Cleeves
'An avalanche of suspense' - David Baldacci


The Sunday Times bestseller from acclaimed international bestselling sensation Jane Harper. Exiles is the gripping mystery of one woman's unsolved disappearance in Australia's wine country.

A mother disappears from a busy festival on a warm spring night.

Her baby lies alone in the pram, her mother's possessions surrounding her, waiting for a return which never comes.

A year later, Kim Gillespie's absence still casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather to welcome a new addition to the family.

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 he looks into Kim's case, long-held secrets and resentments begin to come to the fore, secrets that show that her community is not as close as it appears.

Falk will have to tread carefully if he is to expose the dark fractures at its heart, but sometimes it takes an outsider to get to the truth . . .

An outstanding novel, a brilliant mystery and a heart-pounding read from the author of The Dry, Force of Nature, The Lost Man and The Survivors.

Exiles Reviews

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 *
'This is a softer, gentler Harper, but with the same fine writing and addictive storytelling' -- Ann Cleeves, bestselling author of the Vera Stanhope series
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 *
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
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. . . the final hundred pages are thrilling and devastating. -- The Times Book of the Month
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 *
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 the kind of crime novel you move into rather than just reading it - a wholly absorbing set of mysteries. . . 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
Exiles is an outstanding crime novel. . . 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
Atmospheric, beautifully observed and fluently written, this is Harper back at her very best * Daily Mail *
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 *
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 -- Alison Flood, The Observer
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 *
