I also liked how she connected the events in the present with Aaron’s past. Nevertheless, Harper does an admirable job of immersing the reader in the wilderness, and I particularly enjoyed how she used torrential rain to set the mood throughout the book. The first thing to say about this book is that it is actually kind of a sequel to “The Dry” (which I didn’t realise) and although I think it is OK as a standalone novel, there are some character-building aspects to Aaron that I felt like I missed out on a bit started from this book. She’s a key informant in an investigation he’s conducting, and the story that she was separated from the others suddenly isn’t sounding so convincing. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk arrives at the ranges to assist with the search, but he has a particular interest in Alice’s welfare. However, when only four return at the end of the weekend, a full-scale search is launched with police, emergency services and volunteers to find missing Alice.

“Force of Nature” by Jane Harper is a crime thriller about a corporate bonding activity gone wrong. I hadn’t heard a lot about this particular story, but the author’s previous novel “The Dry” received a lot of acclaim so I was keen to see what all the fuss was about. This book was part of either a Christmas present or birthday present (I can’t quite remember) that I finally got around to reading.
