Synopsis

'Raw, relentless and heart-poundingly real, this book knocked me off my feet like a river in flood' Ruth Ware, bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10

'A thought came to me that I couldn't force away: What we are wearing is how we'll be identified out in the wilderness.'

Win Allen doesn't want an adventure.

After a miserable divorce and the death of her beloved brother, she just wants to spend some time with her three best friends, far away from her soul-crushing job. But athletic, energetic Pia has other plans.

Plans for an adrenaline-raising, breath-taking, white-water rafting trip in the Maine wilderness. Five thousand square miles of remote countryside. Just mountains, rivers and fresh air.

No phone coverage. No people.

No help.

About this title

Review:

Raw, relentless and heart-poundingly real, this book knocked me off my feet like a river in flood (Ruth Ware, bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10)

I've reached my limits with novels where the plot seems to focus on murdered women and/or children . The River At Night, set during a women-only, white water rafting trip in the Maine wilderness, out in January . is where the thriller is heading, I reckon (Red)

Ferencik really gets under the skin of her characters, and brings depth to the horrors that await them on the river (Big Issue)

Miles away from the prowling menace of domestic noir, or the carefully constructed mysteries of police procedurals. Here the challenge is pure survival, and it's one hell of a ride watching these characters try to make it (Observer)

Author Erica Ferencik's storytelling [is] . brutally effective . hurtling River's harrowing narrative along in a visceral, white-knuckle rush (Entertainment Weekly)

With The River at Night, Erica Ferencik has created a surging and compulsively readable all-female nature thriller (Sydney Morning Herald)

A visceral and pulse-pounding thrill ride of a novel, beautifully crafted with stunning descriptive writing that left me pining for the Maine wilderness in all its perilous beauty (Chris Ewan, no.1 bestselling author of Safe House)

An exhilarating summer read . Tense, disturbing, pulse-racing ... The River at Night will make you think twice about going off the beaten track on your holidays this summer! (WHSmith Blog)

A fantastic book . A brutal, tender story (T. R. Richmond, author of What She Left)

Fast-paced, suspenseful . and the narrative races towards a splendid climax. Good stuff (Lovereading)
