The story line is totally ridiculous, but I enjoyed its pacing and descriptions of Peru.

I liked the first one by this author, but this book was boring. Couldn't believe the plot and the characters were cliched.
The one redeeming value was the interesting setting - Cusco and Machu Picchu, Peru.

Lily Moore is on a vacation in Peru with her friend Jesse to escape a tragedy in her life when she comes across a fallen woman on Machu Picchu who claims her boyfriend tried to kill her. The police however believe the woman to be a drug addict and don't follow up on the lead.
Lily sets off to uncover the mystery of the the woman's death and finds herself being bribed & abducted with hers and Jesse's lives on the line. Trapped in the web of a wealthy and influential American family whose members each have their own dark intentions we are kept guessing who is really at fault in the death of the female tourist.
The Next One to Fall is enjoyable for its rich descriptions of an exotic location and the development of characters, their relationships and motivations.
I didn't read the first book in the series but there was enough recap from the first book for it not to matter too much. Where will our travel writer protagonist find herself next?

This novel is set in Peru, mainly around Cusco and Machu Picchu, the Incan historical city. The main character, Lily Moore, is a travel writer who is North American, but now lives in Spain. Her sister has died recently and her friend Jesse, photographer, has convinced her to come on this trip with him. At Machu Picchu, they come across a woman who is dying and while Jesse goes for help, Lily tries to keep her conscious and listens to her final words accusing someone of hurting her. The police dismiss the accusations and Lily feels determined to find the truth and make sure someone pays for the woman's death. But as she digs deeper, she not only puts herself in danger, but she also has trouble figuring out who to believe.
With kidnappings, shootings, and mental illness, this book has lots going on and should keep you glued to the page.
The author has a similar background to the character, which is also interesting.
