Reviews with content warning for Eating disorder - Force of Nature

This was a great mystery/thriller! Federal Detective Aaron Falk is a great character. Despite working in the financial crime unit, he has found himself on a much bigger case again. When ten coworkers set out for a 3-day, team-building camping adventure in the Australian bushland, something goes terribly wrong. Of the five women on the trip, only four return and no one knows what’s happened to Alice Russell. Agent Falk and his partner must work with the state police to support search-and-rescue and try to find Alice before it’s too late. Jane Harper writes a suspenseful, page-turning novel without anything being too graphic or scary. It’s my favorite kind of thriller, and I can’t wait to read the third installment of the Aaron Falk books.

it felt like more of a stand-alone then a sequel to the dry, but good if your looking for a mystery to read

It's the second book in the Aaron Falk detective series, the first *The Dry* I read here for a BR last year and I really love this character and the way that Jane Harper writes.
Typically her way of writing mysteries are much more 'story' based than the reader trying to work it out themselves if that makes sense? You're going along with Falk's pace of working things out rather than it being a shared mystery but with the nature of how her stories go (usually connected to Falk) that really works here, imo.
If you like human drama heavy mysteries set in the more rural and wild parts of Australia, I can't recommend Jane Harper enough - her newest book, Exiles came out this year and I'll be reading that soon too
