About this listen

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FOR 2023

At a busy festival site on a warm spring night, a baby lies alone in her pram, her mother having vanished into the crowds.

A year on, Kim Gillespie's absence casts a long shadow as her friends and loved ones gather deep in the heart of South Australian wine country to welcome a new addition to the family.

Aaron Falk, federal investigator, is joining the celebrations. But as he soaks up life in the lush valley, he begins to suspect this tight-knit group may be more fractured than it seems. As hidden truths slowly emerge, Falk faces the darkest of questions.

PRAISE FOR EXILES

'A beautifully observed crime novel' Sydney Morning Herald

'Jane Harper knows how to write an undulating, riddling tale to keep you on your toes. Exiles is no different.' Russh

'You'll find yourself immediately hooked' The Age

'Exiles holds everything and more fans of the Investigator want in a Falk novel. A generous, elegant, and atmospheric read, that brings to the foreground a different kind of hero.' Happy Mag

I found the story in the midst of wine country compelling listening. The various strands came together as we came to know the characters and their relationships. I am always intrigued by the role of the central character and his relationship with a country town and State authorities. The story was solid and sufficiently quick moving to keep tuned in. I am a fan of Jane Harper and her writing style and her country settings. Highly recommend the book.
