Praise for this book
"An unputdownable, spine-chilling backpacking voyage through the depths of a dark and dangerous obsession. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein meets Cheryl Strayed's Wild." - Julia Crouch
"Don't let the title fool you. Not for a moment does The Beaten Track tread familiar ground. This inventive, relentlessly slippery thriller, taut as a piano wire, traps its sympathetic heroine in a nightmare that's both it-could-happen-to-you and made-for-the-movies. If you loved Before I Go to Sleep, if you enjoy contemporary paranoia classics like Sleeping with the Enemy or Run, then get on track." - A J Finn
"A chilling account of mind games, obsession and how far a person would go to protect the ones they love. Highly recommended!" - Noelle Holten
"With The Beaten Track, Louise Mangos embarks the reader on a sinister journey around the world with shocks at every stop and twists around every corner. Perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes's YOU." - Diane Jeffrey
"A chilling tale that held me in its spell from start to finish!" - Lesley Kara
"I really enjoyed this. A touch of Highsmith about it." - Ian Rankin
"The reader watches, fascinated and repelled, as Sandrine makes her way around the world on a trip of a lifetime. Louise Mangos hooks us, then reels us in expertly towards an ending which we both dread and turn the pages furiously to reach. Great stuff." - Michael Ridpath
