Many thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine | Bantam for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Ava Glass. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Maya Landry is looking for a fresh start after a painful divorce. She lands in Montana and is hired as a summer caretaker of billionaire ski lodges. She enjoys the peace and quiet - until she opens one of the doors and finds a dead body. There's no cell service, so she heads down the mountain until she can contact the police. By the time they get there, the body is gone and they don't believe her. Later that night, a stranger walks up to her and tells her that someone knows she was up on the mountain and they are willing to kill to keep their secret. Only one thing is certain: The people who committed the murder are coming for her. Maya is the only person alive who might reveal what happened up on the mountain. And they want her gone.
I love the Emma Makepeace series by Ava Glass and was excited to read this book, which is not a spy novel per se, although it does have lots of people in the alphabet agencies. You won't be able to stop rooting for Maya, who is just an average person caught up in an unbelievable situation. She's gaslit, she doesn't know who she can trust, she's on her own. There's a lot in this book - a little romance, action, corruption, and danger lurking at every corner. Did the author possibly leave it open as the start to a new series? Here's hoping!
