About this listen

Don't trust everyone you meet here…

A young British backpacker goes missing on the West Coast Trail.

No one is sure whether she died or simply disappeared.

Apart from Laura.

Twenty years later, a body has been found.

And there's only one person who could reveal the secret that Laura's been hiding all this time.

But she knows that two can keep a secret.

IF ONE OF THEM IS DEAD.

A tense and suspenseful thriller perfect for fans of M.J. Ford and Susi Holliday.

I was enjoying this novel till about half way through then it got so twisty it was hard to follow. The secrets reveal felt a bit over the top

Good start but strangely twisting the ending

The story started out well but became overly convoluted and confusing. The ‘big reveals’ are rarely a surprise and there are a number of plot twists that feel last minute and don’t really fit. Disappointing.

Very convoluted

Ohhh! Jenny Blackhurst is sneaky
This story, told to two timelines, by two different characters, has you believing that people are. who they aren’t

And the twists keep coming

This is a good lower mid level novel for young adults.
I quite enjoyed it, until all of the threads were being tied up at the end, when it became a confusing mess, inclusive of a morally questionable final sacrificial lamb. Truly puzzled, and I'm still wondering why an editor didn't insist on a rewrite to clean up the ending and morally justify that last death.

Good, until the end

To the very end I still didn’t know who did and who they were. I found the children annoying. Very high pitched voices.

As many twists and turns as the trail they took.
