The Rush
Michelle Prak
Reviewed by Helen
Well what can I say, I read this one in one day there was no way I could leave it for too long I had to find out what happened to these four young people doing a trip from Adelaide to Darwin, this trip was meant to be a fun trip, two young Aussies and two overseas backpackers come along and see what happens.
The Pindarry is a very old pub stuck in the middle of nowhere run by Matt and Andrea they have a small son Ethan and Quinn a young local now lives and works there, it is a very popular place to stop for travelers of the outback. They have been in drought for a long time now and Quinn and her dog Bronte have been sorting things at the farm she used to live on when on her way back the rain starts and it looks like it is not going to stop, when Quinn finds a the body of a man lying on the roadway, she has to do her best to get him in the car and back to the pub.
Four young people Hayley, her boyfriend Scott, Dutchman Joost and Brazilian Livia are on a trip of a life time in Scott’s grandfather’s 4WD when the rain hits there has already been some tension between them but things get worse when a road is washed away and decisions have to be made, they are not prepared fully for what is happening, none of it.
This story is compelling reading, MS Prak has created characters who are real some not so likeable and some show such strength and courage they had me cheering them one, in this mystery thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and then the twist I did not see coming, these characters are so convincing. This is MS Prak’s debut thriller and I can’t wait for more, I do highly recommend this one if you are looking for a fabulous story that will keep you thinking and turning the pages
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my digital copy to read and review
