Couldn’t put this down and read it in one night. It wasn’t mind blowing but I was kept guessing until the end. Didn’t love as much as ‘The Dry’, but another good read by Jane Harper!

Another great mystery with Falk, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. A little unexpected again, but a good ending nevertheless.

‘Force of Nature’ is great second book in the Agent Falk series. I love Harper’s style of writing; easy to follow yet vibrant and descriptive. This book kept me on my toes especially during the unraveling of the case. I must say at times it felt like not much was happening but overall a very enjoyable read.

This one wasn't *quite* as much of a page turner for me as The Dry, but it also had a less disturbing premise, which made it a bit of an easier read, emotionally. I did get a little tired of watching the characters make bad decisions-- I told my husband at one point, "If I wanted to read about people being inept, I could have just read literary fiction."--but not quite to the level where it ruined my enjoyment of the book. By the time I got the last third or so, I stayed up late to finish it all in one go.
