"You Will Never Leave" is an outstanding thriller with a spooky setting, intriguing characters, and non-stop suspense. N.L. Hinkens has crafted a story that will keep you hooked from start to finish. If you love a mystery that keeps you guessing, this book is a must-read. ( )

Married couple Blair (a landscape architect) and Matt Dawson (who just finished military active duty in Afghanistan) are spending three months traveling around the states in a travel trailer. Matt needs some peace and time to heal, he has PTSD. Bad weather forces them to get off the road, so they stop at a nearby campground, Bird Creek. They meet some other campers staying at the site. Then someone finds a dead body. Who is the killer? Is it one of them, or someone nearby, watching them?

I really enjoyed this book. I love stories when a group of people are stuck in one place and a murderer is in their midst. It’s fun trying to figure out who the culprit is. I really liked the campground setting. Especially when it rained, and there was a mudslide that washed out the road, and they were all stuck there, at Bird Creek, and couldn’t leave. With a murderer, killing them, one by one. There was also an interesting cast of characters. (Blair was a pretty smart and resourceful lady.) This is my first read by N. L. Hinkens, and I look forward to reading more books by this author. ( )
