by Jane Harper
This is the second book by Australian author and journalist Jane Harper. Her first book The Dry won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction, the General Fiction Book of the Year and overall Book of the Year at the Australian Book Industry Awards 2017. Force of Nature is just as pacey and compulsively readable as The Dry. Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy path at the start of their resilience and team building retreat in the rugged Giralang Ranges. But only four come out. So what happened to the fifth woman? The story moves between the present day investigation and the happenings on the hike, as told by the other four women, giving the reader insights into the women’s characters as things start to go increasingly wrong. Force of Nature is a compulsive read that you won’t want to put down and readers of The Dry won’t be disappointed.
