Very quick, engaging read.
Laura left her previous identity behind - but her past is coming for her!
On the way home from the grocery store, the radio station news provides an update for recent remains found on a famous Canadian hiking trail. Believed to be those of the young hiker, Seraphine Cunningham. The man charged with Sera's murder - had been released months earlier after a successful appeal. And he's coming for Laura.
The hike in 1999 starts out uneventful - Maisie finds friends to hike with, a possible romantic interlude. But why does Sera end up missing, presumed dead?
Lovely twists, great writing.

A dual timeline book 20 years apart tells the story of a hiking trip gone wrong. Maisie’s new friend is murdered on the hiking trip and she is the star witness. The dual timeline feeds in snippets from the hiking trip as Maisie tries to keep her current life from falling apart. I was hooked on this story and could not put it down. This is a great psychological thriller!
