Will and Olivia have moved from Wales to New York City for his work. Whilst he spends long hours working, Olivia is getting to know her neighbourhood and the city. One day, however, she discovers that he has been having an affair, and it may well still be on-going.
After her devastating discovery she decided on a plan of revenge. She will stalk his lover, send her threatening texts and more. She also decides on one liaison herself with a specific purpose. And then she and Will are off on holiday to the National Parks – to Yosemite, Death Valley, The Grand Canyon, and Mariposa Grove. This is a 1,500 mile grand tour of reconnecting, only Will is unaware that she has set the bar quite high for him. He has tasks to complete, essentially to show her that he is doing penance and that the she is still the special person in his life. One push is all it could take to end things between them. She is a woman who already has form and a dark side to her nature.
Back in New York the police inevitably become involved after events back in the West and the author feeds into the story, to round off then conclusion.
The author does a great job of portraying setting and at the end of the book she talks about Dream Holidays with Dark Visions!! She also provides a great Playlist to accompany the Wilderness road trip.
So, if you fancy a trip via a good, tense story to the National Parks, then pick up this book! Recommended.
