The pace builds as the plot progresses. Split pov, but didn't give spoilers.

Five women go on a multi-day hike team building exercise from work, only 4 come out of the wilderness. While search and rescue try to find her, in an area where memories of a serial killer have not yet faded, the women's relationships are looked into in more detail. Why did Alice go off on her own? Is the serial killer's son still at large in the area?

‘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.

In need of a quick paced thriller my fingers twitched towards another Jane Harper. After watching the movie adaption of 'The Dry' a few weeks ago, 'Force of Nature' beckoned me. 

I loved a haunted Australian landscape setting, the return of a familiar character (Aaron Falk) and the every changing eye suspicion I gave every character at one stage during the novel. Although it was slower paced than expected and dragged a little at times (I didn't even rush to the ending), I loved the descriptive lines of the environment and characters throughout the story. 

Although I preferred The Dry, I would still recommend this read to see what happens next to Falk.
