HE EAGERLY AWAITED NEW THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF A SIMPLE PLAN
Eerie, terrifying, and unputdownable, The Ruins is Scott Smith's first novel since his acclaimed debut A Simple Plan earned rave reviews and stormed bestseller lists.
The Ruins follows two American couples enjoying a pleasant, lazy beach holiday together in Mexico. On an impulse, they go off with newfound friends in search of one of their group -- the young German, who, in pursuit of a girl, has headed for the remote Mayan ruins, site of a fabled archeological dig.
This is what happens from the moment the searchers -- moving into the wild interior -- begin to suspect that there is an insidious, horrific "other" among them....

scott smith strikes again
i'm an audiophile and i loved this performance. it's also a great psychological thriller as well as a supernatural one. Smith's other novel A Simple Plan is equally taut. they follow this formula: set up believable characters and push them down a long hill - never better, only worse. with audio, it's all about the reader, and this one is a winner. i have listened to it about 4 times.
