“If you like Stephen King’s Misery, you’ll love this book.”

A country drive quickly turns into a nightmare for newly-weds Paige and Hal Loche

When you are in the bush, pregnant, and your husband is hurt what do you do? Will you trust just about anyone?

When their car gets a flat tire in the Australian outback, it should be a simple job for capable Hal to fix. His wife pregnant, he sets to it. But an accident befalls him, leaving him immobilized. Paige is now their only hope of getting out of the bush.

“How the cruelty of a stranger changes a couple’s life for ever.”

When Paige chances upon a stranger, it seems her prayers are answered. But the stranger doesn’t want to help. She wants something else, and it’s not Paige’s husband. Hal is expendable, piece by piece it seems, but her baby isn’t.

What will Paige do to protect her unborn child, and at what price?

This is my first read from the thestoryinside group.

I was a bit wary at first, when I realized there would be some killing and some dismembering/buttering going on in the story. However, it did not go quite how I imagined it would.

I would say the main characters (the couple) where really unfortunate with the initial accident, and then what happened after was really crazy, but really.

I’m a bit annoyed at the lack of a wrap up. So, alright, that all happened, they escaped... but... then what? I guess I wanted to see a little more of the police and investigation proceedings, but I have to remind myself, this is not a true crime podcast.

A quick enjoyable read.
