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.

Five women, with some negative history betrween them are sent out on a wilderness team building 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.

Jane Harpers second book. Another page turner, with plenty of twists ands turns set in the bush of Victoria Australia.
