Four young women take a spa holiday in Nepal, but only two return. Jane, one of the survivors, flashes back through her "adventure of a lifetime" as it degenerates into torture, rape, and murder. Yes, she and a friend escaped—but only after leaving their best friend for dead. In England five years later, their pact to conceal the truth of how they survived crumbles when it appears the friend they left behind is still alive and stalking them. British actress Penelope Rawlins instantly transports listeners to the English countryside and imbues Jane with the trustworthiness necessary for credibility.
VERDICT Fans of troubled heroines and can't-look-away mystery and horror will be rooting for Jane to prevail, both in her past and her present.
