A skeptical Winifred (Win) finally submits and accompanies three of her (young-middle-aged) longtime friends on a much needed weekend trip into the Maine wilderness for a little R&R white water rafting, and as you might suspect run into a bit of trouble beginning with the creepy dudes at the first stop.
(No dueling banjo's here, but there are a few similarities to DELIVERANCE throughout the novel.)
Anyway, as Win narrates, we get to know a bit about the ladies past lives, their strengths and weaknesses, and even get to see and hear some of it in action.
While I really did enjoy the wet and wild ride, (for me) the story was missing the true intensity of survival mode, the fear of being hunted, and most of all, the feel of danger when face to face with the enemy.
All that being said, I still found THE RIVER AT NIGHT an entertaining adventure and enjoyable read!
