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....

Brilliant!
I really did not want this to end. I'm still thinking about it a day on. I want more of these characters and this story. Don't get me wrong it was finished just right but some books and characters I don't want to leave and this is one of them.
The narration was perfect so easy to listen to. Definitely recommend this!

Intense but beautiful
I have never read/listened to a story quite like this. Karen Swan brings her talent to the Costa Rican jungle in a captivating tale pitting modern day life against ancient cultures and right against wrong. It is very intense from start to finish. It constantly moves and evolves in surprising ways. The only downside was that it wasn’t suitable as my bedtime listen as it had my heart rate up most of the way through. However it is definitely a day time listen that will have you engrossed and intrigued. The narration was also very good.
