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
