Pound Ridge Library Book Group

The Pound Ridge Library Book Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month at 11:45 am. This month we will discuss No Exit by Taylor Adams, a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller about a determined young woman who struggles to save a kidnapped child while trapped in a blizzard—and who must unmask and outwit a deviously twisted psychopath before it’s too late.

Caught in a fierce blizzard in the Colorado mountains on her journey to see her dying mother in Utah, college student Darby Thorne seeks refuge at a remote highway rest stop. The desolate place offers little more than vending machines, a coffee maker, and the company of four strangers. Desperation prompts Darby to brave the storm in search of a cell signal, leading her to a chilling discovery – a kidnapped little girl locked in a van parked next to her car.

As the harsh conditions isolate them further, Darby realizes there’s no phone reception, no landline, and no way out. The tension escalates as she grapples with the pressing questions: Who is the kidnapped child? Why was she taken? And, most crucially, how can Darby rescue her? The ominous truth surfaces – one of the fellow travelers is the kidnapper, but identifying the perpetrator becomes a perilous challenge.

Trapped in this increasingly dangerous situation, Darby faces a moral dilemma with both a child’s life and her own hanging in the balance. In a race against time, she must find a way to liberate the girl from the van and navigate the treacherous circumstances. The suspense intensifies with every turn of the page, and Taylor Adams skillfully weaves a narrative filled with terrifying twists and suspenseful hairpin turns. “No Exit” promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats, delivering a breathless and gripping experience.
