"I love Jane Harper's Australia-based mysteries....and The Survivors is the best yet. There are cave scenes that will freeze your blood." --Stephen King "As always, Harper skillfully evokes the landscape as she weaves a complicated, elegant web, full of long-buried secrets ready to come to light."--New York Times Book Review "Harper is to Australia what Tana French is to Ireland, a writer whose psychologically rich plots are matched by a deep understanding of place."
--Washington Post
"Another suspenseful thriller...And in Harper's proven style, the story is not only atmospheric, it delves deep into the psyche of main character Kieran Elliott and the townsfolk, unearthing dark secrets, hidden guilt and simmering social tensions."
--Herald Sun "The latest stunner from Jane Harper...[She] expertly raises the reader's pulse throughout the narrative, insinuating what happened that day but only revealing the truth slowly as Kieran comes to see past and present in a new light."
--Booklist, starred review "[Harper is] a master at creating atmospheric settings, and it's easy to fall under her spell...A layered and nuanced mystery."
--Kirkus "Jane Harper has created a tightly told, beautifully written, and suspenseful novel... It is a novel of guilt, remorse, injustice, and regret, all skillfully woven together seamlessly into a realistic work of literary power I cannot recommend highly enough."
--Deadly Pleasures "Harper expertly weaves past guilts with present grief. She remains a writer to watch."
--Publishers Weekly "Jane Harper creates an impressive landscape that serves to illustrate how the experience of place inevitably shapes the lives of those who live there."
--Sydney Morning Herald "It's now clear Harper has a gift...every book has a distinct landscape that plays a central part in the plot made possible by her uncanny knack of bringing scenery to life."
--Daily Telegraph Praise for Jane Harper:
"Ms. Harper is not one to drop a fact [...] without using it later. If you enjoy being hoodwinked...you'll love Ms. Harper's sleight of hand. Ms. Harper has made her own major mark." --The New York Times
"Such a good storyteller... Harper has again raised the bar for emerging crime writers." --Chicago Tribune
"Intense, deeply intelligent psychological thrillers that explore how our pasts - especially our childhoods - mold and disrupt our lives in the present." --Christian Science Monitor
"Harper writes with precision and creates a tense atmosphere on the brink of combustion." --Real Simple

"Place is paramount, a multifaceted character that's in turns brutal and breathtaking." --Washington Post
"An author at the top of her game." --Kirkus, starred review "I think of Jane Harper as the Australian Louise Penny. Like Penny's Inspector Gamache series, Harper's books evoke a vivid sense of place, and are as much about her nuanced characters and the moral dilemmas they face as the mystery itself." --BookRiot "Harper works miracles. We're lucky to witness them." --A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Harper evokes the complexities of love, hate, rage, emotional baggage, and a spot of redemption with a spare language that suits her story's geographical surroundings - and her characters' deeply interwoven and even more deeply imprinted relationships - down to a T." --Seattle Review of Books
