As I wrote earlier, I had read The Dry by Jane Harper and loved it. So now I have read two earlier books of hers and while they were good, The Dry definitely is my favorite. She has a new book out that I am waiting for in paperback that doesn't come out in paperback until January 2022. Ugh. Also, did I mention before that The Dry is being made into a movie?
So, as I said, I have read two more:
1) Force of Nature by Jane Harper: you know those retreats that companies have that are supposed to be bonding experiences for the employees? Well, this is about one of those where five women were taken to a lodge, then sent out with a map for a five-day journey into the Australian wilderness. But only four of the women returned, and the four women had different stories about Alice, the missing woman. Alice was a whistleblower in a case Detective Aaron Falk was working on, so he was drawn into the search.
This book was a good read, and I liked how it was written. The story was told from each of the five women's perspectives, which I thought added to the story. It was a good mystery!
2) the second book I read was The Lost Man by Jane Harper: this is another good mystery that takes place in the Australian outback. Two brothers, Bub and Nathan who hadn't seen each other for a long time, came together after one of them found their third brother, Cameron, dead out in the outback. Bub had lived on Cameron's place, with Cameron's wife and children, so Nathan, and his son who was visiting at the time, went to stay at Cameron's home to help the family deal with their loss and, hopefully, find out what had happened to Cameron. There was also the issue that Cameron and his family lived in the old family home, so who inherits the land and the home?
