Summary
Two friends, a hidden trail and a frantic search for the truth. The brand-new gripping thriller from No. 1 bestselling author Carmel Harrington is available to pre-order now.
'Carmel Harrington is a superb chronicler of family dynamics' SUNDAY TIMES
A trip to France is exactly what best friends Cara and Alannah need. Cara's family life has imploded, and Alannah is tired of pretending to be someone she's not.
Cara sets off on a solo Camino hike across the French Pyrenees, while Alannah stays in town to take a chocolate-making course. They promise to catch up each evening about their separate adventures before reuniting at the end.
But on the second evening, there is radio silence from Cara, and Alannah starts to worry. Could her friend have gone off grid with a new flirtation, or is something more sinister at play?
Desperate for answers, Alannah retraces Cara's footsteps along the Camino trail. But the further she goes, the more mysterious Cara's disappearance becomes, and she questions who she can trust.
Where is Cara, and can Alannah find her before it's too late?

Critic Reviews
The Stopping Place is a fast-paced thriller with as many twists and turns as a mountain path. Carmel Harrington's great gift is creating characters we care about, and here the search for happiness and fulfilment leads to some very dark places. Chilling, gripping and very satisfying indeed (Jane Casey)
An exquisitely told and twisty tale, I devouredThe Stopping Place. It perfectly blends my favourite ingredients for a thriller: fierce friendships, torn loyalties and dark personalities, which Carmel sets to collide in an explosive, satisfying dénouement (Louise Minchin)
How does she do it? All life is here in the pages of Harrington's latest gripping thriller, unforgettable characters, unbreakable friendships, wit and wisdom, the highs and lows of parenting and marriage, the complexities of love and loyalty. I adored the Camino setting, the nerve-shredding ending, the compelling pace but above all, the sheer resilience of the wonderful Cara and Alannah. Fantastic! (Gill Perdue)
I loved The Stopping Place. An engrossing, dramatic and beautifully crafted mystery, set against the background of the Camino de Santiago, it will delight Carmel Harrington's many devoted fans and win her a pilgrimage of new ones (Catherine Kirwan)
Carmel Harrington's true gift is with character, creating addictive mysteries that feature ordinary people who find themselves in intense, terrifying situations. Meticulously researched, The Stopping Place, takes us to the Camino and is a nail-biting story that will have you racing through the pages! (Sam Blake)
I loved this book. The Stopping Place manages to be both terrifying and life-affirming at the same time. A thriller that speaks to the power of motherhood, friendship and sisterhood and a chilling tale of obsessive love. An inspiring story about finding courage in the darkest hour. A dark mystery with a profoundly emotional core (Edel Coffey)
A thrilling, twisty and transportative thriller with real emotional heft. The darker Carmel Harrington gets, the more she dazzles (Catherine Ryan Howard)
I loved The Stopping Place. An engrossing, dramatic and beautifully crafted mystery, set against the background of the Camino de Santiago, it will delight Carmel Harrington's many devoted fans and win her a pilgrimage of new ones.
