About this listen

Taking us deep into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle, Sunday Times bestselling author Karen Swan returns with The Secret Path – complete with her trademark romance, glamour, and jaw-dropping twists.

'A glamorous adventure' - Hello!

'A twisty, glamorous read, bringing jungles, beaches and ancient towns to life' -
My Weekly

An old flame. A new spark. Love can find you in the most unlikely places . . .

At only twenty, 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 . . .

Bear with it

It was a slow start but was an interesting story., not a chick lit. Worth a listen.

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!

Very good story and well narrated.

While I was riveted by the storyline I disliked the bad language but that’s probably just me.
