I'm posting a 'soon to be released' book on Wednesdays. These will always be books that I am particularly looking forward to.
The book I've chosen for this week is the second book in Jane Harper's series featuring Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk. I read this author's first book, The Dry, last year and enjoyed the Australian setting and the story so much. In fact, our mystery book group will read and discuss The Dry for our March meeting. Can't wait to see how the second in the series plays out.
by Jane Harper
Publication Date: February 6th
But one of the women doesn’t come out of the woods. And each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened.
Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing hiker. In an investigation that takes him deep into isolated forest, Falk discovers secrets lurking in the mountains, and a tangled web of personal and professional friendship, suspicion, and betrayal among the hikers. But did that lead to murder?
This is high up on my Want list! Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Melody!
DeleteSo many loved The Dry that I should really give this author a try. Thanks for highlighting the next book. I didn't realize it was set to be published so soon.
ReplyDeleteYou ought to try THE DRY, Mary, when you're in the mood for a crime novel. The setting was very, very vivid (drought). Then, if you like it, the next would be available. Ha!
DeleteI still haven't read The Dry, so now I have two books to look forward to reading!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to have two - that's not too many in a series if it appeals to you. LOL
DeleteThis sounds really good, adding to Wishlist. I haven't read something by Jane Harper before but have seen her books around. My Waiting on Wednesday is the new one by BA Paris.
ReplyDeleteTHE DRY was really good with a very vivid setting in Australia. It would be different from where you hail from Marce! LOL
DeleteThis came out a while ago over here so I've already read it. But my lips are sealed! I love going into a book knowing as little as possible about it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping the secrets! I'll let you guys know what I think when I get it read. And I suspect I will enjoy it.
DeleteI have a copy of The Dry on my TBR as it got so many good reviews - I can't think of anything worse than having to go on a retreat with colleagues!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be challenging. I don't think I liked anyone I worked with that well. LOL
DeleteThat looks really good to me too.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping so!
DeleteForce of Nature sounds good Kay - I recall my corporate days of team-building retreats which as an "introvert" I pretty much always hated. One however, was white water rafting in Maine which I loved:)
ReplyDeleteWhite water rafting - not for me, but I suspect most would love it. That's a pretty cool team-building exercise. LOL
DeleteI'm really excited for this one, too! I enjoyed THE DRY, so I'm interested to see what direction the new book takes.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that the drought plays such a part in THE DRY and this one seems to have green and trees, etc. Hope it's good!
DeleteI loved The Dry! I'm really looking forward to this one as well. I hope your book group enjoys the discussion.
ReplyDeleteI suspect we will. We do have a good time regardless. ;-)
DeleteI seem to be in the mood for thrillers as of late (although I am going to take a break and read a fantasy novel next). This one sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it? Looking forward to reading it soon.
DeleteI am very curious about what you think of this -- I LOVED The Dry and count it as one of the best things I read last year. But Force of Nature... I was getting so frustrated with it, I had to set it aside to take a breather and go back later -- which I still haven't done.
ReplyDeleteAh, now that is interesting. I'll be reading before long and will write my thoughts on it. You've intrigued me - thanks! LOL
DeleteMy mom and I loved The Dry and we can't wait to read Force of Nature! To pre-order or not. Wait for the library? Order the ebook? Such a quandry!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked THE DRY and we also listened to it on one of our trips to NM. Hope FORCE OF NATURE is as good.
