This is a slow-burn of a novel, claustrophobic and compelling. It's a wonderful exploration of fractured families and communities, and the conclusion is both shocking and inevitable. A book to get lost in -- Ann Cleeves, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Killing Stones
Jane Harper is mistress of the threats and secrets that threaten life in the backwoods small towns of Australia. She delivers unbearable tension every time -- Val McDermid, bestselling author of 1989
An exceptional book. The sense of place is very powerful and her characterization is utterly brilliant . . . I could not put it down -- Marian Keyes, Sunday Times bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake
A tale of old sins casting long shadows. It is like a locked room mystery with narrow silos of suspects and motives, but it is much more than that. Harper excels at making the reader feel every emotion, every moment of doubt, the thrill of a possible breakthrough, the wrench of another dead end. She takes the reader on a memorable journey that will pull at the heart, stiffen the spine, and thrill the reader. No one can ask for more than that. -- David Baldacci, Sunday Times bestselling author of Nash Falls
This intricate story of a dying town and its residents is beautifully written and incredibly atmospheric. Heartbreaking and wonderful. -- Andrea Mara, No. 1 bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing
I am a huge Jane Harper fan, and absolutely loved Last One Out. The atmosphere of a dying town, combined with Jane's brilliant characterisation plus a confounding mystery meant I was glued to it for days -- Jennie Godfrey, Sunday Times bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
Jane Harper delivers another intricate and compelling novel, this one exploring the myriad ways in which 'home' can hurt and heal us. An unforgettable book with a shocking and satisfying twist. -- Sarah Hilary, author of Black Thorn
