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.

The Hiking Trip's plot is very interesting and the narrator was superb. However, if it wasn't so repetitive, I think it would be a much shorter book. From the protagonist's constant reminder of her secrets and lies to the continued claims of needing to protect her family when in reality she's only interested in protecting the life she's built on herself, the repetitiveness is off the charts. It doesn't help that the protagonist is super unlikeable. Actually, almost all the characters are unlikeable except for the protagonist's children. I think it might have helped her likeability if her chapters weren't in first person. At least in third person, it would've created a bit of a distance for the reader/listener. I wish the author hadn't decided to switch back and forth between first and second person as character perspectives changed. With the story moving from the present to the past on top of all that, the details of the story can easily get muddled. Despite this, I still recommend The Hiking Trip. You'll definitely want to know how it ends.

I listen to about 50 books a year. I do not write a review unless it is very good or very bad. This one was very good because of the way it all comes together in the end! Great job!
