Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them.
Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side.
The hike through the rugged landscape is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises.
Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistleblower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with.
Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew.
Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Force of Nature is about a group of work colleagues who go on a corporate retreat. Five women go hiking together, five women who don't necessarily get along and only four return.
Federal Agent Aaron Falk is in charge of finding out what really went on and what really happened on the retreat.
This was such a well-written story! The descriptions and the language used were so good that it made the story very real and believable and really pulled you into the story and the setting.
When I started this, I didn't realise that it was the second book in the Aaron Falk series, however, that didn't have any effect on my enjoyment of the book. I will definitely be checking out the first and next books in the series.
