Five women go on a hike. Only four return. Jane Harper, the New York Times bestselling author of The Dry, asks: How well do you really know the people you work with?


When five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the wilderness, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking down the muddy path.

But one of the women doesn’t come out of the woods. And each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened.

Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into isolated forest, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains, and a tangled web of personal and professional friendship, suspicion, and betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder?

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

Absorbing

Jane Harper is an intriguing writer who offers a complete view to her characters and realizations. I enjoyed this book and hope to read more Aaron Falk stories. After reading The Dry I looked forward to reading another novel with Aaron Falk. This story was interwoven with what happened and how it happened. It held my interest throughout, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys an absorbing book complete with interesting people and an organized tale of who and why.

An interesting take on mystery within friendless nature

Five women, with some negative history betrween them are sent out on a wilderness team building challenge. They become lost and when finally four return a major search and rescue mission is mounted in the hopes of finding the fifth. Two or three sub plots present themselves - possible money laundering, teen bullying by dissemination of revealing photos, and the history of a killer who had worked the area the women had gone for the challenge.
At first I found it hard. to keep track of the personalities that go with the names of the various characters. In the end they became real.
For me not quite as compelling as the authors first novel, “The Dry.
