THE PERFECT DAY FOR A HIKE

Seeking the escape of a lifetime, four friends hike out into the beautiful Norwegian wild – nothing between them and the mountain peak but forest, sea and sharp blue sky.

THE PERFECT PLACE TO DISAPPEAR

But there’s a darker side to the wilderness. A woman went missing here one year ago. Now the friends are hiking into the heart of the mystery. And waiting on the trail is someone who’d do anything to keep their secrets buried – and to stop the group walking away alive . . .

Ich liebe die Hörbücher von L.C.! Dieses war auch nicht schlecht, konnte aber mit den wirklich guten nicht mithalten.

Schwächer als andere

The plot might have worked.
The narrator is okay.
But sweet Jesus hoe many emotions can you fit into only one book?
And this is suppised to be a crime novel.
4 women who are afraid of nature and immune to warnings of locals eho should know the westher set off on e 4 day trip. none of them is a hiker, none of them has any logic.
There is sex, lots of tslk about exposed nipples and unsolved personal problems (that aren't problems at all), endless descriptions of a concert and the desperate attempt of the listener to stay awake.
I hsve no clue ehst the message is or the actual story.
The real crime here is charging people money to listen to the book.
