2026: A girl goes missing walking the Camino
The Stopping Place
What you need to know before your trail
A trip to France is exactly what best friends Cara and Alannah need. Cara’s family life has imploded, and Alannah is tired of pretending to be someone she’s not.
Cara sets off on a solo Camino hike across the French Pyrenees, while Alannah stays in town to take a chocolate-making course. They promise to catch up each evening about their separate adventures before reuniting at the end.
But on the second evening, there is radio silence from Cara, and Alannah starts to worry. Could her friend have gone off grid with a new flirtation, or is something more sinister at play?
Desperate for answers, Alannah retraces Cara’s footsteps along the Camino trail. But the further she goes, the more mysterious Cara’s disappearance becomes, and she questions who she can trust.
Where is Cara, and can Alannah find her before it’s too late?
Travel Guide
Camino de Santiago
The Camino de Santiago is a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that cross Europe and end in north-western Spain.
The novel is primarily set along the main route and the first stop is Roncesvalles where many people tend to start their journey.
There are a few locations along the way but they give the game away so no spoilers here! There are mentions of Wexford in Ireland but this gives a picture of the characters backgrounds and its not central to the plot.
