This is the 2nd book in the Aaron Falk series. Aaron Falk is a Financial Crimes Federal Police Officer who is investigating the Bailey Family Corporation for fraud. Carmen Cooper is his cohort in this book as his partner, Greg Raco, is convalescing from Harper's last book, The Dry. The corporation is holding a weekend corporate retreat for team building which consists of a hike in the wilderness in Australia. Five men and five woman are in two separate teams. The story focuses mainly on the five women whose personalities clash during the whole hiking experience. Only four women return in the end and the question remains, "What happened to Alice?" I found Jane Harper to be a very talented storyteller and she uses two different timelines in order to set down her well-paced plot. I found all the characters to be very interesting and well-developed. I was happy to find out more background information on Falk and look forward to reading more about him in the future books. I would highly recommend this book to those who love intriguing, mystery thrillers.
