The Next One to Fall

Written by Hilary Davidson

Narrated by Hillary Huber

Travel writer Lily Moore has been persuaded by her closest friend, photographer Jesse Robb, to visit Peru with him. At Machu Picchu, they discover a woman clinging to life at the bottom of an ancient stone staircase. Just before the woman dies, she tells Lily the name of the man who pushed her. When the local police investigate, the forensic evidence they find doesn't match what Lily knows. Unable to accept the official ruling of accidental death, Lily hunts down the wealthy man who was the dead woman's traveling companion and discovers a pattern of dead and missing women in his wake. Obsessed with getting justice for these women, Lily sets in motion a violent chain of events that will have devastating consequences.

Psychological thriller. Author is a good story teller. Some parts I found were very violent for my taste.

Sometimes this trying to write gig makes me very depressed. Primarily when I read someone else's writing, their early books, even, and they're as good as this one was.
It's true, you can see some unevenness in this thriller, but it's good enough that you can't help but be pulled along through it to the exciting conclusion.
Davidson is another of the very sweet writers I've met at Bloody Words Mystery Conferences - kind to we newbies, sharing of knowledge and friendly. Hardly the sort of person you think would kill people in her spare time.
Now if only she didn't do it so well!
Jealousy aside, this is an excellent series. Well-worth the following. Why not start it today? It's cold here in the north - get your blood flowing with some exciting reading....

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I knew that this one was a must-read for me. I loved that this one was set in Peru, it was really easy and nice envisioing it in my mind. I really love Lily and Jesse and was glad to read about them together in Peru. Lily is really a character that I feel readers can root for and Jesse is just awesome. I love the little twists that Hilary Davidson throws into her books. I am always kept wondering what is going to happen. I look forward to reading more about Lily.

This second outing for travel writer Lily Moore is great for the explorer, armchair or not!. Lily and her best friend Jesse Robb arrive at Machu Picchu only to stumble upon a heated argument and a woman's fall to her death. Davidson includes fantastic location details and literary references as the suspense builds. Plenty of twists and turns kept this reader guessing and Davidson wraps it up neatly at the end. Throughout, descriptions of historical sites, art museums, the Incas and regional fare enhance the adventure. So, I have added Machu Picchu to my bucket list, as well as Davidson's next book coming out in March 2013. She keeps getting better!
