The Lost Man by Jane Harper

 

                                                                           

      The Lost Man by Jane Harper-340 pages

This story takes place in the Australian outback.  Talk about isolation!  Something was troubling the middle brother Cameron.  When his body is found by the old stockman's grave, everyone is wondering what could have happened.  There are secrets and heartbreak in the brothers past, and when an old one night stand makes inquiries about Cameron a few weeks before he is found dead all suspicions lead to her.  But what soon comes to light is so unexpected, and yet when you think about how the boys were raised it makes perfect sense.  What one person will sacrifice to protect the ones they love.  I enjoyed it very much.

A Time For Mercy by John Grisham


A Time For Mercy by John Grisham-464 pages

My favorite character Jake Brigance is back.  I love to see how his lawyer mind works and how he is all about getting justice.  The story is phenomenal, it has you pulling for the defendant and you are glad that Jake is his lawyer.  He uses his witnesses masterfully. Jakes whole family gets on board at a huge monetary risk.  And there is an extra special surprise at the end.  I am looking forward to seeing Jake in the court room again!  Another excellent novel by John Grisham.  Loved it!
