Audrey and Max have been together only six months, not enough time for them to really know each other. Yet he's brought her to an extraordinary place. The Okavango Delta in Botswana is a revelation. No towns, no roads. Just the wild-truly wild-expanse of heat and dust and nature all around. A place of life and death: elemental, immediate, primal, and unpredictable.
For Audrey, it's like being at the beginning of the world, and at the end-with a wealthy man who will provide for her in every material way but may not know, or care, who she is. Fraught encounters with wild animals-and, worst of all, with Max-will force her to look at what she really wants and who she really is.

This is my first time reading the author. Unfortunately, I didn't think much of the story. I didn't get on with the characters, finding them vapid and shallow and not the kind of people I could get behind. They are flat and never come off the page. I liked the way suspense and intrigue is built at the start of the story but this sort of vaporises and doesn't go anywhere. There is also no real ending so there's no satisfactory resolution. This put me off reading full-length work by the author. The writing style is good but everything else sucks.
