OrangeReviewStarEve Hardaway planned the perfect vacation to celebrate her tenth wedding anniversary—a full week in the jungles of Oaxaca, Mexico. Sadly, her husband Rick also had a big surprise, but it didn't include her. With her estranged spouse now living with his new girlfriend, Eve decides to keep the reservations and travel to Mexico alone. After all, what could be a better "new start" than a jungle adventure? Arriving in Oaxaca, Eve discovers evidence of a hasty retreat by the former occupant of her hut. Clothes apparently ripped from closet hangers, a full prescription bottle, and a digital camera are still in the room. What she sees on the camera leads her to investigate a mysterious stranger who proves more sinister than Eve could ever have imagined. What should have been the trip of a lifetime turns into a deadly fight for survival, and one that will change her life forever.
VERDICT Hurwitz (The Survivor) has crafted another satisfying thriller that will keep readers turning the pages to find out what happens next. A taut, smart, suspense-filled ride to satisfy the most discerning of thrill seekers. [See Prepub Alert, 2/10/14.]
