What do you do when you're up multiple times a night to rock your baby to sleep? Listen to an audio book with headphones. 😂😴
I was really excited to read this because I loved 'The Dry', and I met Jane when she came to our library. She is so lovely!
It wasn't as good as 'The Dry', but I still really enjoyed it. There were a couple of things I thought I knew were going on, but I was completely wrong! Jane had me sucked in haha! Can't wait to read all about Aaron Falk in the next book!!

Audiobook. There is something about Stephen Shanahan’s voice; I am not sure if I really liked the story or just listening to him.
It kept my attention and I blew through it.

I’m late to the Jane Harper bandwagon but I’m here for it now. She is great in setting the atmosphere and developing the characters. Her writing is a slow burn yet it doesn’t drag and kept me engaged. There are no big surprises but that’s ok. It’s the journey that makes the read worth it.

Force of Nature is a solid thriller with no real surprises but pleasant prose and good pacing. It jumps back and forth between the past and the present, and I really enjoyed getting to know Aaron Falk. The four women, however, I found rather bland and I kept mixing them up.
I'd definitely read more by Jane Harper.

Five women trudge into cold, wet, mountainous bushland. By the time they emerge, one of them has gone missing. Where is Alice Russell? And what secrets are her fellow hikers keeping from police and search & rescue?
Aaron Falk is back at work following the events of [b:The Dry|27824826|The Dry (Aaron Falk, #1)|Jane Harper|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1456113132s/27824826.jpg|47804789]. He and his partner, Carmen, have been working on Alice Russell to blow the whistle on shady dealings. But now Alice has gone and got herself lost during a three-day corporate team-building exercise, in dense bushland, in winter.
With Alice on the fateful bushwalk are company chairwoman Jill, old school-mate and now colleague Lauren, Alice's assistant Bree and Bree's twin Beth, who works in the basement doing data-entry. And any one of them could have a reason, or more than one, to hope Alice doesn't make it back in one piece. Because Alice, as it turns out, is a bit of a bitch.
And what about the men's group, which included chairman Daniel Bailey, Jill's brother? Was there an ulterior motive to their visit to the women on the first night out?
Falk and Carmen have one goal: get the contracts. The contracts that Alice was meant to hand over the night she was due to return. So off they go, into the wintry bush where phone signals are sketchy at best and tales of old murders still make the hairs on the back of the neck prickle in fear. But the more they talk to the group of women who came out of the bush that day, the more questions there are.
This was not as gripping as The Dry, but I still enjoyed it. Atmospherically, it made a change from the searing heat of drought-stricken Kiewarra in summer. Now I'm looking forward to reading The Lost Man.
