About this listen

 'One of the most addictive thrillers I've read this year. A compulsive page-turner with high stakes and a heroine you find yourself absolutely rooting for' Gytha Lodge

One passenger. One night. One road trip. One suspected serial killer behind the wheel . . .

Casey Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer. Maybe.

Behind the wheel is Josh Baxter, a stranger Casey met by the college ride share board, who also has a good reason for leaving university in the middle of term. On the road they share their stories, carefully avoiding the subject dominating the news - the Campus Killer, who's tied up and stabbed three students in the span of a year, has just struck again.

Travelling the lengthy journey between university and their final destination, Casey begins to notice discrepancies in Josh's story.

As she begins to plan her escape from the man she is becoming certain is the killer, she starts to suspect that Josh knows exactly what she's thinking.

Meaning that she could very well end up as his next victim.

A game of cat and mouse is about to play out. In order to win, Casey must do only one thing . . . survive the night.

Critic reviews

One of the most addictive thrillers I've read this year. A compulsive page-turner with high stakes and a heroine you find yourself absolutely rooting for
I couldn't put down Survive the Night and I didn't want to try. Riley Sager's terrific heroine Charlie Jordan starts this thriller on the ride of her life and the action accelerates on every page, through twists and turns into the darkness. A high-octane narrative fueled by intensity, emotion, and danger, Survive the Night puts Riley Sager in the driver's seat of modern crime fiction
Noir at its best! This one-sitting-read of a thriller will grab you in the opening pages and simply not let go until the very (and very shocking) end. Author Sager is a master of creating both psychological suspense and richly drawn characters, both good, bad and somewhere in the middle. Bravo!
Riley Sager's premise is bone-chilling-what if you caught a ride from a guy who could be a serial killer?-and his writing is propulsive and gripping. Woven throughout is a clever nod to classic movies, which adds to the intricate architecture of this absolutely terrific book
[Sager's novels are] all creepily atmospheric, easy to read without being fluffy, and fun as hell. Each book has also been better and more confident than the last
Compulsively readable, pulse-poundingly tense with ingenious, gasp-worthy twists, Survive the Night is Hitchcockian film noir magic wrapped inside one of Sager's signature propulsive plots. A story about a ride share gone terribly wrong, this white-knuckle thriller kidnapped me and held me hostage as I raced through to its deliciously satisfying climax
All of Riley Sager's books take an established horror or thriller trope and give it a smart, knowing twist. This time, it's a creepy hitchhiking situation (with the added bonus of a '90s setting!)
A first-rate read . . . the twists, few of which readers are likely to see coming, arrive in such abundance that they are head-spinning
Stunning
All stars

I am a Riley Sager fan, but this is not his best book. Starts promising, but gets unbelieveable and over complicated. Still enjoyable at some points and there are a few interesting thoughts, but others are cliche. My favourites are still “Lock every door” and “Home before dark”.

Not the best Riley Sager

I was really looking forward to reading my first Riley Sager book. I did enjoy the book in the end but did feel like the plot was a typical American story line. Which some people are into and was an easy read, just not for me. The narrator was good and could easily tell all the different apart characters in the book 😊

Was okay

Recommended to my by my husband and is now one of my top 10 audiobooks. I have over 300 titles in my library and this is up there as one of my favourites. Brilliant.

Very cinematic

The first half of the story I found a bit slow but sticking with it to see what would happen was worth it as the tale became much more interesting with a few twists and turns . I was certain I knew how this would go but was pleasantly surprised when it veered several times with a great finale I wasn't expecting.

stick with it
