"An exhilarating thriller set against a 250-mile footrace in the Sahara Desert, where more than one ultramarathoner will be running for their lives."
What I loved: The extreme setting. The extreme sport. And all the twists along the way. McCulloch, who herself completed the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert, writes with such compelling authenticity. I loved the tension she creates among the different elite runners and the race director; the weather and the harsh terrain also play an important role in this story. I also liked how McCulloch weaves in the past with the present in a way that added to the mystery and the suspense. And I admired the resilience of her main character, Adrienne Wendell, as she navigates the tough race and the mysterious murders happening around her. This is a fabulous and fun thriller. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy Reading!
