Always love returning to Eve and Rourke's world. I have been reading this series for decades and it never gets old or stale. Love the "In Death" series.

THE LOST MAN by Jane Harper is a slow burn, atmospheric murder mystery set in the unforgiving and remote Australian Outback.

The apparent suicide of Cameron Bright seems to be just another tragedy in this family’s story. A well liked family man, no one can understand why he would leave his well-stocked vehicle and walk to the Stockman’s Grave in the deadly heat of the Outback summer to die.

When Nathan Bright meets his youngest brother Bub at the fence-line between his and the family’s properties at the Stockman’s Grave to recover his brother’s body, Nathan has more questions than answers. The local police believe it is a suicide, but Nathan has trouble believing. He returns to the family homestead to help, but the past returns to haunt him as well as the secrets his brother was hiding.

As the family grieves, Nathan’s suspicion grows that there may be a murderer among them.

This is one of those books you start and just fall into the intrigue of the location and mystery. Ms. Harper’s description of the heat and dry in the Outback in the summer pulls you in and makes you believe you can feel the isolation and danger of the location for the families that live there. My opinion of the point-of-view main character, Nathan changes continually with each new family revelation Ms. Harper weaves into the story. The secondary characters are all hiding their own secrets and add to the feeling of surprise and dread with each revelation. The resolution of the mystery was a surprise I did not see coming which makes this a truly memorable read. The narration by Stephen Shanahan was crisp, clear and added to the atmospheric mystery in the Outback.

I highly recommend this audiobook and author!

SECRETS & LIES (“Lies” Mystery Thriller Series Book #4) by Andrew Cunningham is another entertaining mystery/thriller addition to the series. This is the fourth and final book in the series and the first of the books I have listened to in audiobook format. The mystery plot is a standalone, but I believe you will enjoy these books more by reading them in order.

This book starts with a BANG, literally. Seymour shoots intruders that are sneaking into his apartment.

The story then goes back twenty years in time to when Seymour was called Jack and an airboat driver for a tourist company in the Florida Everglades. Jack/Seymour was enjoying some solitude when ValuJet 592 plunged into the Everglades killing all on board and changing his life forever.

Back to present day and Del Honeycutt, best-selling mystery author Sabrina Spencer and Del’s other tenant Mo, are all shocked to learn the truth about Jack/Seymour, Mo and how his past is coming back to haunt him.

The four friends return to the Everglades together to find a box Jack/Seymour buried twenty years ago and in the process they are on the run from rogue government agents, mobsters, a crooked billionaire and alligators. Are samples from the fabled “Fountain of Youth” really in that long-buried box and will the friends be able to live long enough to find out?

This is such a fun mystery/thriller. The four main characters are unique and entertaining in their own way quirky ways. All the characters, good and bad were able to take the story from fun, dry humor to serious in a heartbeat. To find out Jack/Seymour’s secrets really changed my perception of him from previous books. The mystery plot is full of twists and turns that kept me guessing.

This fourth book, same as the previous book in the series are fun, entertaining reads. Mr. Hernandez does a great job of narrating this book. Because I read the first books, some of the character narration does not match how I envisioned some of the characters to sound in speech. It did not detract from my enjoyment of the audible book though.

I recommend this unique series of books and characters, but as stated previously, I do believe they should be read or listened to in order.
