About this deal

The people are welcoming although somewhat aloof in the small village of Norway and give the ladies instructions and advice with some warnings of dangers they could encounter while hiking. This time around, not only was that true, but with each revelation, something else was twisted to reveal a new puzzle filled with just as much intensity. I really enjoyed Lucy Clarke's last release, so have no doubt this one will be equally as twisted and dramatic! By this time, she already knew that she wanted to become a fiction author but needed money to support herself. I'm a fan of locked room mysteries and thrillers and that's what this story was even though it took place in the great outdoors.

She is the author of seven other destination thrillers, which have sold more than a million copies around the world, including One of the Girls, The Castaways, and The Blue, which has been filmed as a major international TV series (titled No Escape) for Paramount+. A tale of reconnecting friends and life’s unexpected turns, it was heartwarming but also filled with true-to-life problems that occur when you put more than two people together in a friendship. It starts out with one of the best opening sentences and from there it is as twisty as you think it will be.Taking on her core theme of friendship, Lucy Clarke presents her readers with another rock-solid tale about a long-standing friendship circle of four women tested by the wilderness. There are some scenarios where time seems to stand still which are really good as you are anticipating the next bad thing. Wanted to get this one off while it was fresh in my mind and before I passed out from the meat sweats. Four women who have been friends since high school have decided to go on a hiking holiday in Norway. When she came back to the United Kingdom she was certain that being a fiction author was the career for her.

In fact, it would make one heck of a thrilling movie or TV series, so I’ll be crossing my fingers on that score. By establishing her business, she finally has the free time she needed to go back to Dorset beach and start writing her fiction. Following a trail that climbs through lush valleys, towering peaks, and past jewel-blue lakes, Liz is sure that the hike is just what they need. If I had to name my absolute favorite part of this book, however, it would have to be the relationships at the center of the plot.Apparently, I am a big fan of the destination thriller, and that is exactly what The Hike by Lucy Clarke is. If I had to rank them from most to least likeable, I'd say: Maggie (hella wholesome), Helena (she got a huge character arc which was great to see), Liz (very type A, forced the women into a dangerous trip because SHE needed it, didn't And waiting on the trail is someone who'd do anything to keep their secrets buried - and to stop the group walking away alive . If I had to rank them from most to least likeable, I'd say: Maggie (hella wholesome), Helena (she got a huge character arc which was great to see), Liz (very type A, forced the women into a dangerous trip because SHE needed it, didn't really give AF how they felt) and Joni (no comment, see for yourself. First 25% is a little slow as we get into everyone’s backstories, but then the pace picks up exponentially and it moves along quite quickly after that.
