Lily, a travel writer who is in mourning for her sister,
reluctantly decides to go to Peru with her closest friend,
Jesse. When they reach Machu Picchu they find a woman near
death at the bottom of an ancient stone staircase. Right
before she dies she tells Lily the name of the man who
pushed her. Lily finds herself in a tough spot when the
local police do not corroborate with what the deceased lady
told her, and decides to go find this man herself. What she
discovers is horrific as she traces a slew of dead women to
the man. She doesn't realize that her actions have set in
motion an even deadlier chain of events.
THE NEXT ONE TO FALL, the second book in the series brings
more excitement, action
and page-turning plots. Lily Moore is an interesting
character, and in this installment we get to see her more in
depth, and as the story progresses, her character grows. The
situations she finds herself in are at times mind-boggling,
keeping me glued to the page.
The way Hilary Davidson writes
locations and settings make me want to become a travel
writer myself, but this is no surprise when I found out that
she was previously a travel journalist. As in the first
book, The Damage Done, drugs and lies are at the
forefront, as well as spectacular locations. THE NEXT ONE TO
FALL is a
wonderful sequel and I am a certified fan of it, so I will
be eagerly awaiting the next book.
Anthony Award-winner Hilary Davidson presents The Next One
to Fall. Travel writer Lily Moore has been persuaded by her
closest friend, photographer Jesse Robb, to visit Peru with
him. Jesse is convinced that the trip will lure Lily out of
her dark mood, but Lily is still haunted by the death of her
sister. At Machu Picchu, the famous Lost City of the Incas,
they discover a woman clinging to life at the bottom of an
ancient stone staircase. Just before the woman dies, she
tells Lily the name of the man who pushed her. When the
local police investigate, the forensic evidence they find
doesn’t match what Lily knows. Unable to accept the
official ruling of accidental death, Lily hunts down the
wealthy man who was the dead woman’s traveling companion
and discovers a pattern of dead and missing women in his
wake. Obsessed with getting justice for these women, Lily
sets in motion a violent chain of events that will have
devastating consequences.
