Just ok. Twisty turny plot with another silly reveal of a rich & powerful bad guy.

I wanted to like these characters but I just don't and I feel quite sure that I am done with this series. ( )

Psychological thriller. Author is a good story teller. Some parts I found were very violent for my taste. ( )

Sometimes this trying to write gig makes me very depressed. Primarily when I read someone else's writing, their early books, even, and they're as good as this one was.
It's true, you can see some unevenness in this thriller, but it's good enough that you can't help but be pulled along through it to the exciting conclusion.
Davidson is another of the very sweet writers I've met at Bloody Words Mystery Conferences - kind to we newbies, sharing of knowledge and friendly. Hardly the sort of person you think would kill people in her spare time.
Now if only she didn't do it so well!
Jealousy aside, this is an excellent series. Well-worth the following. Why not start it today? It's cold here in the north - get your blood flowing with some exciting reading.... ( )

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I knew that this one was a must-read for me. I loved that this one was set in Peru, it was really easy and nice envisioing it in my mind. I really love Lily and Jesse and was glad to read about them together in Peru. Lily is really a character that I feel readers can root for and Jesse is just awesome. I love the little twists that Hilary Davidson throws into her books. I am always kept wondering what is going to happen. I look forward to reading more about Lily. ( )

Lily’s always been a survivor, though, and against all odds, she built for herself a happy life and a successful career. So it’s not like Lily’s grief has ever managed to slow her down.

Not until three months ago, anyway, when she learned of the tragic death of her sister Claudia.

When we meet up with Lily at the start of Hilary Davidson’s The Next One to Fall, she’s a broken woman – a shell of her former self...
