    1. As far as I know, there is no novel published or to be soon rereleased titled The Cure by Jane Harper. The latest release will be Last One Out, published early 2026.

  2. Absolutely love reading Jane Harper books. I have read them all. With the exception of exiles. I will be looking forward to reading that one on holidays.

  3. Halfway through Exiles – as great as The Dry.

    Every time I read Aaron or Falk (yes it is him again) I see Eric Bana’s face so I do hope this Exiles will become a movie with EB in it.

    For me The Dry novel & movie were both 10/10
    Force of Nature 8/10
    The Lost Man 10/10
    and un less it droops towards the end Exiles will also be a 10/10

  4. After reading “THE DRY” I am in love with Jane Harper’s writing skills!!! I have just ordered all her other books! She is such an outstanding writer!!!

  5. Just finished all 4 books one after the other. I lived in Australia for 2 years and travelled extensively, so have loved the authenticity of these books. Her character-building is superb and they are all page turners, unfolding in a steady, realistic pace. Can’t wait for the next one.

  6. Was looking forward to a 3rd Aaron Falk. Disappointed he is not in The Lost Man!

  7. No F.B.I. In Australia, he is in the Federal Police.
    But thanks for the great reviews

  8. Just finished The Survivors and have read all her other books. Please tell me another one is coming soon!!

  10. When is the next Jane Harper due to be released. Read her earlier books and looking forward to the next.

  11. Just started reading the Dry. Immediately captivated by Jane Harper’s writing and her honest portrayal of rural Australia, a country that I have visited and lived in over the years. Absolutely love this book…please keep on writing!!!

  12. I have read all three of Jane Harper’s books – all absolutely excellent!!.
    Does she have plans for a fourth book, if so, when is the likely release date?
