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.

Good start but strangely twisting the ending

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

Very convoluted

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.

As many twists and turns as the trail they took.

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

Good

I enjoyed, listening to the story. I was confused with the amount of changes of dates of recollection of the storyline. I felt it could’ve been presented Better, a great book.

the twist

near the end the story builds so teasingly slowly, a wonderful listen, I'll keep an eye out for any more thrilling novels.
