Quick & intriguing read. If you like stories that jump back & forth in timeline, are full of unreliable characters that veil the truth & imagining yourself in a survival situation with your coworkers, this is book is for you!

Didn't care for this as much as The Dry. I really disliked all the women on the wilderness trip and overall didn't find it all that suspenseful.

I could not put this mystery down, despite realizing shortly after starting that it was second in a series . . . oops! I still couldn't put it down—not even to read the first book first—because I already cared too much about what might or…

I liked this book immensely! The relationships between all the characters were intriguing since they began their journey into the wilderness as co-workers and ended up fighting among themselves for basic survival. The author has a true…

The first time I tried to listen to this audiobook, I couldn't keep track of who all the characters and gave it up, unfinished. Then, a year later I tried again, giving it closer attention. (Last year I listened while doing other things.)…

As others have mentioned, this is not as good as THE DRY. I felt it was a somewhat pointless book....especially, since in theory it was a mystery. This book seemed to go in forever. Not recommended

An enjoyable read but not nearly as intense (or scary) as the author’s first book, ‘The Dry’. Recommended.

4 1/2 star. This is the second book in Harper's Aaron Falk series. As part of a corporate team building exercise, two groups of employees and executive suite men and women are taken to a Wilderness Camp in a remote area in the Australian…

Honestly I couldn’t even get half way through. Jane Harper seems to be a very well regarded author but for me this book was extremely tedious and the characters uninteresting. I like action and not interested in the endless descriptions …

Jane Harper's writing is so descriptive, I would find myself wandering lost in the middle of the woods in Australia without ever leaving my chair in Kansas. The characters are also well written, and I think I'll need the next book about…

Not to my liking.

FORCE OF NATURE is the 2nd book by Jane Harper featuring Australian Federal Financial Crimes detective, Aaron Falk . Now he has a new partner, Carmen Cooper, which works well to help readers to better understand this taciturn, solitary…

Different strokes for different folks, this did nothing for me other than diminish any desire I ever held of visiting this country. It could have been so much shorter.

A suspenseful read that I couldn't put down. You can feel the hysteria rising as five women get lost in the Australian bush during a team building exercise. When they are finally found with one of their number missing secrets and long held…

A company retreat in an Australian mountainous wilderness takes a turn for the worst when only 4 of the 5 women meet up with the rest of members. Told in alternating chapters between the rangers/sheriffs and the women, the story describes…

Jane Harper's second book is also a Federal agent Aaron Falk investigation, this time teamed with partner Carmen Cooper. They are part of a large search team on the trail of a woman missing in the bushland who has been their informant in…

I loved The Dry and The Lost Man and I was hoping for something on that level of character development, description of setting and pacing. FoN just isn't as good in those respects. The characters are more like shells and I found myself not…

I really enjoyed this second book in the series....not realizing at all after I read 'The Dry' that it was becoming a series. The first book was so well done I thought it was a stand alone. That said, I actually like this book slightly…

Perhaps if I had read "The Dry" first, I might have been more involved with the main characters. As a person who reads more than 150 "mysteries / thrillers" a year, I am difficult to impress. For me this book was simply just OK. Kristi &…

Excellent! I liked it even better than The Dry, which I liked a lot. Very happy to have found a new mystery series.
