NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “This book is every suspense lover’s dream and it kept me up way too late turning pages. . . . A novel with crazy twists and turns that will have you ditching your Friday night plans for more chapters.”—Reese Witherspoon

A backpacking trip has deadly consequences in this “eerie psychological thriller . . . with alluring locales, Hitchcockian tension, and possibly the best pair of female leads since Thelma and Louise” (BookPage), from the bestselling author of The Lost Night and The Herd.

A Marie Claire Book Club Pick • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR and Marie Claire

Emily is having the time of her life—she’s in the mountains of Chile with her best friend, Kristen, on their annual reunion trip, and the women are feeling closer than ever. But on the last night of the trip, Emily enters their hotel suite to find blood and broken glass on the floor. Kristen says the cute backpacker she brought back to their room attacked her, and she had no choice but to kill him in self-defense. Even more shocking: The scene is horrifyingly similar to last year’s trip, when another backpacker wound up dead. Emily can’t believe it’s happened again—can lightning really strike twice?

Back home in Wisconsin, Emily struggles to bury her trauma, diving headfirst into a new relationship and throwing herself into work. But when Kristen shows up for a surprise visit, Emily is forced to confront their violent past. The more Kristen tries to keep Emily close, the more Emily questions her motives. As Emily feels the walls closing in on their cover-ups, she must reckon with the truth about her closest friend. Can Emily outrun the secrets she shares with Kristen, or will they destroy her relationship, her freedom—even her life?

Great story but listening may confuse

I had a hard time getting into it, but once it started rolling and the repetitions of "Stop. Stop. Stop!" started to ease I didn't want to pause it! It was a little hard to tell which character the narrator was reading for, which made deciphering a little difficult but other than that, it was a great listen!

Great Read

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the narrator , she really brought the book to life for me. Storyline was fun. Recommend!!!!!

STOP STOP STOP - this book is too repetitive

This book gets good about the last 1/3. The first 2 are basically just repeating the same story over & over. I get it the main character is ruminating but was it necessary to just keep reminding us. It’s an ok story but not my jam.

Pretty good

I enjoy this genre and this book was enjoyable. Not the very best but I enjoyed listening to it

Great story

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I thought the characters were interesting and relatable. The story felt like I was listening to a documentary of real life stories. Overall, I found the book entertaining and easy to listen to. Thanks!
