The Hiking Trip (2023) is not a bad murder mystery. Murder on the West Coast Trail, Vancouver Island.
It’s obvious to me — someone who’s hiked the West Coast Trail 7 times — that the author has never done so. There are many glaring mistakes. 😀
It alternates between two timelines: a young woman’s fateful trek on the WCT 1999 and a mother in the present day (around 2019/2023) whose past secrets come back to haunt her when human remains are found just off the trail.
As a hiker, I did find the plot more interesting than otherwise.
Recommended.
Of course there are no open fires in the trees on the West Coast Trail. Jenny needed some hiking fact checkers. 😀
