Force of Nature
by Jane Harper
A team of men and five women enter a remote, rugged system of trails for a company team-building exercise. All of the men, but only four of the women come out. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk is investigating the woman's mysterious disappearance and his suspicions start to increase when the returning women's accounts of what happened don't add up.
"Force of Nature" is the much anticipated follow-up to Jane Harper's debut "The Dry." This book is well-written and suspenseful, although not as haunting as "The Dry." Aaron Falk returns in this new book, but it's not necessary to have read the first book prior to reading this one. The woman's disappearance could be tied into a large-scale money laundering case that Aaron and his partner, Carmen, are working on which adds to the suspense.
There are lots of secrets in this book and the story is well-told through the use of flashbacks to relate the details of the outdoor adventure gone wrong, mixed with scene from the current search for Alice. The whole premise of employees being mandated to participate in such a dangerous outing seems unusual to me, but maybe it's more common in Australia. I like the setting and the main characters, as well as the supporting characters, are interesting and kept me invested in the outcome of the book. I enjoyed the book and can't wait for the next one by Harper.
