THE PERFECT DAY FOR A HIKE

Seeking the escape of a lifetime, four friends hike out into the beautiful Norwegian wild – nothing between them and the mountain peak but forest, sea and sharp blue sky.

THE PERFECT PLACE TO DISAPPEAR

But there’s a darker side to the wilderness. A woman went missing here one year ago. Now the friends are hiking into the heart of the mystery. And waiting on the trail is someone who’d do anything to keep their secrets buried – and to stop the group walking away alive . . .

Critic reviews

‘A tear-those-pages thriller which is also a great meditation on female friendship . . . I’d travel anywhere in the world with Lucy Clarke’ ABIGAIL DEAN

‘A page-turning, twisty and beautifully written thriller . . . Lucy Clarke really is the queen of the destination thriller’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS

‘So tense, so atmospheric, so good!’ SUN

‘A surprising, twisty thriller with compelling characters who are fierce but out of their depth, that keeps you guessing until the end. Lucy Clarke has done it again!’ SARAH PINBOROUGH

‘I drop everything for a new Lucy Clarke book’ ERIN KELLY

‘Secrets galore . . . the landscape, the girls’ fight for survival against the harsh terrain and an unknown danger make the perfect ingredients for a Witherspoon film like Wild’ DAILY MAIL

‘An eerie “alpine atmospheric” suspense novel about four friends on a wilderness trip that goes terribly wrong. Prepare for the cliff-hangers and nail-biting’ NITA PROSE

‘A breathtaking thriller of friendship pushed to the absolute limit – and beyond – amid the dangerous beauty of the Norwegian wilderness’ T M LOGAN

‘Fragile female friendships, a beautiful yet hostile environment and dark local intrigue lead, step by step, to tragedy. The Hike simmers with tension throughout. A gripping read!’ GILLY MACMILLAN

‘The Hike is a triumph, an immersive sense of place with a thread of tension taut enough to snap. I loved it’ JANE SHEMILT

‘Lucy Clarke's great skill is to add real emotional heft to her twisty, atmospheric thrillers . . . A brilliant escapist read’ SUSAN FLETCHER

I was excited to see a new release from this author & I wasn’t disappointed. The author writes women’s friendships so well and some descriptions are just lovely. The narrative whipped along & I binge listened to it to find out what was going to happen.
