Reviews"Riveting, tension-driven thriller...Perfect for fans of Tana French and readers who enjoy literary page-turners." -- Booklist , starred review "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. So does Harper's new book live up to the first? I was thrilled to find that it does. The novel delivers and Harper writes like a dream." -- 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 loved The Dry . Force of Nature is even better. Brilliantly paced, it wrong-foots the reader like a rocky trail through the bush.

You may find this is the best mystery you have read all year." -Florida Times-Union, "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, "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 "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.
