⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you to NetGalley and Pan MacMillan for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of The Secret Path by Karen Swan.
Wow! Just wow! I adore Karen Swan’s novels and I couldn’t wait to read The Secret Path, her latest release, and I wasn’t disappointed. It had everything I expected from her, several plot, twists and turns and a bit of romance thrown in too. What more could you want?
Tara Tremain was living the life she’d always wanted, studying as a Medical Student in London and besotted by her boyfriend, Alex. However, when Alex suddenly betrays her, she is forced to move on without him. Skip 10 years and she is now a Consultant Surgeon and seemingly happy with Rory. The story takes a sudden twist when Tara and her friends and family take a trip to Costa Rica and in the space of a few days, her life is upended.
Swan immerses you in the story she is telling, transporting you onto the Costa Rican beaches and deep into the Costa Rican jungle as we journey along with Tara on her adventures. Bringing together family and friends, loyalty and love, the author is adept at keeping us entertained throughout. There are many jaw-dropping moments and I often skipped to the end of the page to make sure things were ok, before coming back up and reading it properly!
Karen Swan obviously researches all her books thoroughly, and The Secret Path is no exception. Costa Rica is described so remarkably well, from the density of the rainforest to the humidity of the atmosphere, the jungle creatures that call this their home and the tribes who live within the jungle itself.
If you have never read a Karen Swan book before then make this your first one, and then go back and read all her others. You won’t regret it!
