Jane Harper’s second novel, Force of Nature, featuring Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk is a gripping crime thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat!
And luckily, it’s our October Book of the Month! But we won’t gush on…we’ll let Jane tell you all about the book herself:

Here’s what our teams around Australia are saying:

Following the phenomenal debut of her first novel, ‘The Dry‘, Jane Harper returns with the equally well-written and suspenseful, ‘Force of Nature‘. Harper successfully combines the whodunit prowess of Agatha Christie with the relentlessness of the Australian Bush. ‘Force of Nature‘ provides a fast-paced read that uses all it’s characters to deliver a layered and complex example of crime-fiction. 4.5 stars. – T.S., Innaloo QBD

I loved it! Another spellbinding thriller full of suspense from Jane Harper, just like her debut novel The Dry.
Alice Russell goes missing during a team building exercise in rugged bushland, with Aaron Falk called into help solve the mystery once again. A page turner from the beginning, it kept pace but was a bit anti-climatic at the end. I’m patiently awaiting her next novel! 4 stars. – R.D., Strathpine QBD

Addictive and atmospheric, Force of Nature is suspenseful in a way you simply have to experience for yourself. Jane Harper effortlessly captures a sense of place, highlighting the dangers of the Australian bush as five women try to navigate their way out..and only four return. With a fine line between the truth and lies, and a mini-cliffhanger at the end of each chapter – I could not put it down! 4.5 stars. – E.A., Miranda QBD

Harper lives up to the hype in her highly anticipated sequel, Force of Nature. The characters, plot, and realistic setting are as superb and well-crafted as they were in her award-winning debut The Dry. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoyed Big Little Lies—the book, or the television show—anyone who read and enjoyed The Dry, and all lovers of a good-old-fashioned ‘whodunit’ story. 5 stars. – T.H., Browns Plains QBD

Jane Harper impresses her ever-widening readership again with this corporate-crime thriller which develops the Australian landscape into a character just as dark, secretive and brooding as the others. Police procedural continues to get its Harper makeover, Patricia Cornwell meets Liane Moriarty with Fiona Palmer standing nearby in a pair of jeans. 3.5 stars. – J.D., Doncaster QBD
