review 1: Hilary Davidson swung twice and has yet to miss. THE NEXT ONE TO FALL is very different from its predecessor as it focuses more on her protagonist Lily, instead of her difficult relationship to her sister. Claudia isn't left behind because she's the very reason why Lily and Jesse went visit Peru in the first place, but THE NEXT ONE TO FALL is more centered around her, what makes her motor run as a human being and how her upbringing still weight her down, to the point she throws himself in harm's way, thinking she's doing the good thing. While the eclectic cast flabergasted me in THE DAMAGE DONE, THE NEXT ONE TO FALL sometimes takes simpler plot decisions (not always, Davidson likes to surprise people), but it's because she goes so much deeper into Lily's character psycholo... moregy. One again, Hilary Davidson wrote a fascinating novel.
review 2: One of the most intelligent, original mysteries I've read. It's part travelogue, giving the reader a strong sense of what it's like to visit Machu Picchu and other places in Peru. The mystery is a well-constructed puzzle that kept me guessing right until the end. What I loved most about this book were the characters, especially Lily Moore. She seems so frail at the start, but she gets stronger and fiercer as the story unfolds. Her grief and personal demons drive her throughout the book, but they take a backseat when she becomes focused on getting justice for others. I loved this novel and can't wait to read more by the author. less
