Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of February 2018: In Force of Nature, Agent Aaron Falk (who we met in The Dry) is back to solve a mystery in the unforgiving Australian wilderness. Falk and his new partner, Agent Carmen Cooper, are called in to investigate the disappearance of a woman named Alice Russell, who went missing in the woods during a required company bonding exercise with five female co-workers. The narrative alternates between the events leading up to Alice’s disappearance and the search for her, dead or alive, and we eventually learn that Alice Russell was not a stranger to the detectives. She had been informing on some very shady business practices before her disappearance, and arrests were looming. Force of Nature is not as stark and electric a read as The Dry, but Harper has broadened the scope of her newest mystery to include not only subtle red herrings and twists, but complex family drama that kept me guessing all the way to its unexpected conclusion. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Book Review

Review

"Compelling...Harper continues the intense plotting and detail for characters and setting that she established in The Dry."―Associated Press"All of the novel's characters have been drawn with exceptional complexity, and none more so than Aaron Falk...So much more than a conventional detective, the reflective and compassionate Falk provides the book's moral compass." ―New York Times Book Review“Secrets revealed as the investigation unfolds will keep readers guessing until the unlikely plot reveals itself in the last pages of the novel. Fans of her debut book The Dry will find Force of Nature lives up to the exciting expectations Harper is becoming known for building.”―Florida Times-Union“Force of Nature reinforces Harper’s gift for creating characters with complicated relationships and especially for writing about wild landscapes, where anything can happen.”―LitHub“Even more impressive than The Dry…An almost unbearable level of suspense…Nature is a hostile, unpredictable force in both of Harper’s novels, but her brilliance lies in making it into a test of horribly fallible human nature.”―Sunday Times“While the plot unfolds at an expertly controlled pace and is resolved in a satisfyingly ambiguous fashion, it is the relationships between the women that drive the novel…Thoughtful, moving, troubling.”―Irish Times"Both novels are intense, deeply intelligent psychological thrillers that explore how our pasts – especially our childhoods – mold and disrupt our lives in the present."―Christian Science Monitor"Riveting, tension-driven thriller…Perfect for fans of Tana French and readers who enjoy literary page-turners.”―Booklist, starred review“Harper’s crackerjack plotting propels the story…Harper layers her story with hidden depths, expertly mining the distrust between Alice and her four colleagues, and the secrets that simmer under the surface…A spooky, compelling read.”―Kirkus“Stellar… The briefest dip into the prologue results in stomach-tightening anticipation that begs the reader to continue… [Harper] infuses the narrative with energy and atmosphere as Falk plumbs professional and personal relationships for clues to Alice's fate.”―Shelf Awareness"Set against the fascinating backdrop of a wild, rural location in south Australia...Presents an intriguing crime that might not actually exist and potential suspects with realistically complex personalities and possible motives. The two story lines, past and present, collide with a satisfying yet not gratuitous conclusion."―Library Journal“A gripping tale of an elemental battle for survival…Harper once again shows herself to be a storytelling force to be reckoned with.”―Publishers Weekly“Jane Harper is a must-read writer, and Aaron Falk is the Harry Bosch of the outback. Force Of Nature is a remarkable hybrid of suspense, wilderness survival, memorable characters, and gorgeous writing.”―Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead“I loved The Dry. Force of Nature is even better. Brilliantly paced, it wrong-foots the reader like a rocky trail through the bush. I adored it.”―Susie Steiner, bestselling author of Missing, Presumed and Persons Unknown“A major voice in contemporary fiction. Like Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad series and Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie novels, Jane Harper's deftly plotted mysteries double as sensitive inquiries into human nature, behavior, and psychology. And like The Dry, Force of Nature bristles with wit; it crackles with suspense; it radiates atmosphere. An astonishing book from an astonishing writer.” ―A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window“Lord of the Flies in the Australian outback, with grown women in place of school boys. I loved every chilling moment of it. A blistering follow-up to The Dry from one of the best new voices in crime fiction.”―Sarah Hilary, author of the bestselling DI Marnie Rome series“Manages to be two things at once. It's a financially skewed police procedural with a likeable detective with his own personal trajectory at its heart, and it's something of a "locked room mystery". The fact that the "locked room" is neither in a vicarage, nor on an island, but somewhere in the claustrophobic vastness of the Australian bush renders Force of Nature all the more original and engaging.”―Sydney Morning Herald“As thick with menace as the bush that seems to swallow the difficult Alice…Force of Nature cuts between past and present, corporate and domestic, and cements its author as one of Australia’s boldest thriller writers.” ―Australian Women’s Weekly"The narrative is finely constructed, with perfectly measured pace and suspense. So much so that it reminded me of another master of form, Liane Moriarty...There are echoes of Picnic at Hanging Rock and Lord of the Flies as any appearance of civility slips away and the women lose direction in a hostile landscape."―The Saturday Paper (Aus)"Harper’s mastery of pace makes Force Of Nature one of 2017’s best thrillers."―Elle (Aus)"Gripping thriller will have readers hooked."―Sunday Telegraph "Force of Nature proves Jane Harper, author of The Dry, is no one-hit wonder. Its premise is instantly gripping."―Herald Sun (Aus)

I read this book after joining a book club whose membership had enjoyed the first effort of Jane Harper, "Dry." Except for never-ending passages describing rain, mist and cold, this book rarely connects nature with the reader. Rarely has so much been said about physical surroundings with such a lack of vivid language. So it is with the characters--mostly flat, aimless, unhappy women, who are stuck on a corporate outing run by the most inept and unprofessional "wilderness adventure" company on the planet. As a police procedural, it fails since it's abundantly clear that the featured detective team has no jurisdiction, no authority, and a limited interest in the case. They are fraud investigators, and the reader is continuously prompted of their need to find business records of a suspect business. One wonders if author was so bored from one chapter to another that SHE needed reminding why the events mattered. The detective team is barely one-dimensional until the end of the book. Before then, they appear trapped in car or lodge, in endless rain, saying nothing of interest. Even the story's climax was muddled and boring. I wanted this book to "get good." But I knew my reading experience was going sour when, about halfway though, I hoped that all the characters would be found, driven by the police team to the Australian outback and eaten by dingoes.

There is no sign of a sophomore slump here in the second book by Jane Harper featuring Federal Agent Aaron Falk who is based in Melbourne. The story begins with a corporate bonding backpacking trek into the wilderness. The women’s group loses its bearings on the second day. When they finally stumble out of the wilderness, one member of the group has disappeared. The search is on. No one knows if she is lost, dead because of exposure, or murdered. Aaron specializes in financial crimes and the missing woman is a confidential informant who is reluctantly cooperating with the investigators in return for concessions. He is trying to protect the progress of his investigation and to determine if her cooperation lead to her disappearance. The story is told in alternating narratives between the investigation of her disappearance and the events on the trek. The transitions are very smooth and skillfully written so there is no confusion or wasted text. Complications abound between the personal lives of the people involved, the not so distant history of a serial killer who had been based in this area, the financial crimes investigation, and survival against the elements. This series has a very strong sense of place with the first book set in a small outback agricultural town, and this second book unfolding in the Australian bush. Man against the elements is a recurring theme that coexists with the murder mystery plot. The Australian settings add a great deal of interest to the stories, much as Arthur Upfield’s Australian outback did in his books. There is nothing repetitive here. The series began with The Dry, and it must have tempting to title this book The Wet. Here the cold, the wilderness, and the rain are battering our characters at almost every turn. The pacing of the story is good. It is not essential that you read these two books in order. Although it is a series, so far we have no continuing secondary characters or major developments in Aaron’s personal life that would make the books better or less confusing if read in order. This series is becoming one that we follow and pre-order like Elly Griffiths, Martin Walker, Mark Pryor, Peter Livesey, Louise Penny, Ann Cleeves, Peter May, and Paul Doiron among a few others. The only thing that these series have in common is excellent writing that makes the characters, the setting and the plot so very much better.

This is a great book and you must read this story. I enjoyed the previous novel, The Dry, but I think this book is even better. A story of five women going on a corporate weekend away of bonding. But everyone has their own emotional issues, and baggage. There is a clash of personalities. Plus there is an eerie presence to the place, as 25 yrs ago it was the site of four murders. Aaron Flak is the main character, together with Carmen and they make a fine team. I look forward to reading more stories from this duo. To me the story is about, past experiences as a child never leave you. Or your childhood shapes who you are as an adult.

Having read The Dry, I knew this book would also be good. Jane Harper is skillful and her plots are interesting and unpredictable. She writes really well, in this case making the reader feel the cold, discomfort, fear, and damp of the atmosphere and wonder how these women will resolve their dilemmas, both personal and hiking. Harper literally makes the reader feel their pain as they deal with uncertainty, hazards, and interpersonal issues past and present. This is a riveting book you'll rush to finish so you know how it turns out. The Australian bush is a key character, perfectly rendered as if by a painter. I highly recommend this book. It's a really good read!
