Got more than I bargained for!

I wanted to read "Rim To Rim" because my husband took the same hike and I thought I'd gain insight to his adventure. Of course, the descriptions of the canyon were most welcome but the author caught my attention well beyond expectations as the plot unfolded and mysterious events drew me in.

The book held my interest and I'll gladly recommend Jeanne Meeks book to my book club.

I enjoyed trying to keep up with the various suspects and the plot twists and turns--even the romantic choices the young and more mature women characters became involved in, however. the lesbian angle seemed superfluous as did one scene of anger between these same friends, explained away to no end and easily dismissed.

Overall, I'm glad I got to read this tale: I "saw" my husband's hike, rim to rim, through the author's fine descriptions as I had hoped--and enjoyed a good mystery as a bonus!

"RIM TO RIM" -- One HECK of an Exciting Trek!

First, I owe a debt of gratitude to author Jeanne Meeks. Decades ago, a young man in his early twenties stood at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon staring out at the grandeur and dreaming about hiking the canyon from rim-to-rim. He was newly married, with a wife and nine-month-old child in tow, so his dream would have to wait. A few years later he stood at the North Rim, again longing to fulfill his dream, only this time he and his wife were traveling with four-year-old and six-month-old daughters. Again, his dream would have to wait. Alas, time and circumstances thwarted the dream, UNTIL he stumbled across a novel entitled "Rim To Rim: Death in the Grand Canyon." Being a lover of adventure stories and mysteries, the now much older dreamer bought the book and plunged in. I was that young dreamer, and older reader. And I have Jeanne Meeks to thank for finally fulfilling my dream of hiking the canyon rim-to-rim, although vicariously, through the pages of this wonderful debut novel.

Other reviewers have pretty much covered the synopsis of this adventure/mystery, so I won't go there. I will say that this is a story of a fifty-year-old woman who begins the journey from the North Rim with self-doubt and low self-esteem, and by the time she reaches the South Rim she has been transformed into to a strong and confident, 'I can do it!' person. But Amy's transformation is anything but easy. With the help of her new friend and hiking partner, Sarah, she reaches deep within herself to draw up physical and mental courage she never knew existed. Facing danger and death, she completes the journey triumphantly, bruised and battered, but with an inner strength and the resolve to begin her life anew.
