Resumen del Editor

A night spent sleeping on dirt and leaves is not how Claire Matchett expected to spend her vacation.

She thought this would be a break from the stresses of work and raising her young children. A chance to repair her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubs with two other couple friends. It sounded like heaven.

Then Claire’s minivan breaks down on a lonely dirt road. With no cell reception, the group has no choice but to hike the rest of the way to their hotel. But it turns out the woods aren’t as easy to navigate as they thought.

Hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost.

And as they navigate deeper into the woods, the members of their party are struck down mysteriously one by one. Has a wild animal been hunting them? Or is the hunter one of them?

But as more time passes, one thing becomes clear: Only one of them will return home alive.

Another banger from Ms. McFadden

Legit creepy! I've been wanting to read this but haven't gotten around to it but the audio is on sale this month(April 2023) on Audible and I couldn't resist. I'm glad I listened to the audio because the "anonymous" chapters were scary! The disguised voices in audiobooks get me every time.

I created many scenarios for this as it went along and it wasn't any of the things I was thinking. She keeps us on our toes!

Either very bad or smartly good

Until the last few chapters I thought this book was perhaps the worst thriller I had listened to. But I have to admit, it redeemed itself. Listen and be surprised!

Terrible narration, but the story was pretty good.

The story kept my attention. I was invested in finding out who the killer was, but the narration made it difficult to listen. Good book otherwise.

Keeps you guessing

As always, Frieda McFadden keeps you guessing until the very end of the book. Recommended highly!

Loved it!!

Didn’t see the ending coming! This book keeps you on your toes! Will be reading more of her books!

Not the best

I’ve listened to 12 Frieda McFadden books, and this was my least favorite. Not vet engaging. The characters weren’t particularly memorable. The plot wasn’t exciting, and the ending didn’t have that “oh my god” moment that her other books have. Disappointing.

Liked it

Good story that kept me always guessing. The ending was a bit weak, which keeps me from giving it 5 stars, but the reveals were interesting.
The main character was useless the whole story, but that makes her relatable, I guess. I would be as useless as her in that situation.
I like the narration a lot. The narrator has a soothing voice that kept me immersed in the story, though I didn't like her acting on the male characters.
Overall I very much recommend this book!

The twist was great!

Great book. I never saw the ending happening the way it did. It was a shock.

Disappointing

The character of Claire was written to be as vapid as a person can get. I mean, come on, who doesn’t know that the sun rises in the east? Her character was an extremely disappointing portrayal of the “modern woman” after reading McFadden‘s The Perfect Son” this book was nothing but a letdown. The plot was cliché, the characters were cliché, and the best I can say about it is that it followed a standard format for lost in the woods and finding a cabin.

Excellent book

I have read so many mystery/thriller books that I can usually guess what’s going to happen in the end. However, this one kept me wondering the whole time and had many surprises at the end that I never saw coming. I finished it all in one day!
