About The Beaten Track: A Gripping Psychological Thriller (International Psychological Suspense)

A backpacker. A stalker. A dream that turns into a nightmare. Sandrine's round-the-world backpacking trip ends in tragedy when her holiday lover - Kai - mysteriously disappears from an idyllic paradise island in Thailand, and a man who has been stalking her - Jake - shockingly takes his life after she rejects him on a trek in the Himalaya. As Sandrine is about to continue her journey through Asia, she discovers she is pregnant, but is unable to locate Kai. Instead she returns to her home in Switzerland to heal amongst her family and prepare for the birth of her baby. She meets Scott, a handsome man who offers her love, security and all she and her new baby could possibly wish for. She thinks she’s finally home safe... but her nightmare is just beginning. A page-turning psychological suspense with a travel adventure thread For fans of the Netflix series YOU FINALIST in the PAGETURNER AWARDS PRAISE FOR "THE BEATEN TRACK" "I enjoyed this. A touch of Highsmith." - Ian Rankin, multi million bestselling author of the Inspector Rebus series "A fabulous book; so chilling." - Shari Lapena, multi million bestselling psychological thriller writer "Don't let the title fool you. Not for a moment does The Beaten Track tread familiar ground. This inventive, relentlessly slippery thriller, taut as a piano wire, traps its sympathetic heroine in a nightmare that's both it-could-happen-to-you and made-for-the-movies. If you loved Before I Go to Sleep, if you enjoy contemporary paranoia classics like Sleeping with the Enemy or Run, then get on track." - AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window "The reader watches, fascinated and repelled, as Sandrine makes her way around the world on a trip of a lifetime. Louise Mangos hooks us, then reels us in expertly towards an ending which we both dread and turn the pages furiously to reach. Great stuff." - Michael Ridpath, author of The Diplomat's Wife. "With The Beaten Track, Louise Mangos embarks the reader on a sinister journey around the world with shocks at every stop and twists around every corner. Perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes's YOU." - Diane Jeffrey author of The Guilty Mother "An unputdownable, spine-chilling backpacking voyage through the depths of a dark and dangerous obsession. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein meets Cheryl Strayed's Wild." - Julia Crouch, domestic noir author "A chilling tale that held me in its spell from start to finish!" - Lesley Kara author of the brand new psychological suspense The Other Tenant "A chilling account of mind games, obsession and how far a person would go to protect the ones they love. Highly recommended!" - Noelle Holten author of the Maggie Jamieson thrillers
