This mystery was full of twists and turns! Interesting storyline that kept me engaged.

A young British backpacker goes missing on the west cost 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 two can keep a secret if one of them is dead...

After being let down by her friend at the last minute, Maisie leaves the UK & flies to Canada to hike the West Coast Trail alone. Once there she meets brother & sister Seraphina (Sera) and Ric & when it seems they have lost the money to be able to pay for their travels, Maisie impulsively offers to lend them some money. They join her on the hike & it starts off as a fun-filled experience. (Continued).

OutsmartYourShelf As they travel on, the friendships between the three become fraught with tension & the siblings are always fighting with each other. Over two decades later, Laura is happily married & has two children & is completely unprepared for the news that the remains of a skeleton have been found on the trail, believed to be those of missing hiker, Seraphina.

OutsmartYourShelf The narrative is told in a dual timeline, Maisie back then & Laura in the present. The pace is fairly brisk & it keeps the attention well, but the main issue is that it is far too obvious what the twists & reveals are going to be. I did enjoy reading though & the cover is eye-catching. I can only rate this one 3.5🌟 due to the predictability.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Canelo, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

Whoa. I think I‘m going to have a book hangover from this one! This story jumps back and forth between, well, then and now. And what happened then is wreaking havoc on what‘s happening now. There is so much going on, such a roller coaster ride, and it‘s done so well. You get so invested in what‘s happening now, and then the next chapter jumps back in time, like a never ending cliffhanger in the best possible way. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

BarkingMadRead I thought I had it all figured out, and I gasped out loud when I realized I wasn‘t even close! You will not want to put this one down until it‘s over! Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 2y
