Summary
Sunday Times best-selling author Karen Swan returns with The Secret Path, taking us deep into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle—complete with her trademark romance, glamour and jaw-dropping twists.
An old flame. A new spark.
Love can find you in the most unlikely places.
At only 20, Tara Tremain has everything: she’s a trainee doctor, engaged to the man of her dreams—Alex, a passionate American biology student. But just when life seems perfect, Alex betrays her in the worst way possible.
Ten years later, she’s moved on—with a successful career, good friends and a man who loves her. But when she’s pulled back into her wealthy family’s orbit for a party in the heart of Costa Rica, she’s flung into a crisis: a child is desperately ill and the only treatment is several days’ trek away, deep in the jungle.
There's only one person who can help—but can she trust the man who broke her heart?
Your Costa Rican adventure awaits....

Utter Drivel
After reading The Spanish Promise I can't believe this is written by the same author. It reads more like a teen novel with ridiculous, not particularly likeable characters with a cheesy, and dreary plot. I always like to give a book the benefit of the doubt so I skim read the second half, the ending was as predicted and it was a relief when it was over. In contrast, The Spanish Promise had a well constructed plot, and was reasonably captivating from beginning to end. I will be avoiding this author going forward.

Highly recommended
My first Karen Swan book. Wow. What a gem. I won't spoil the story,, but the author's words and narrator (who is excellent) takes you right in situ, in the jungle.. You can feel it. Great plot, twists and turns to keep you hooked. You will like this book. I shall definitely get another!
