Gone to Ground
Hall, BronwynSigning up for United Nations service in war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, surgeon Rachel Forester expected to be challenged. However, when evacuation plans from an isolated clinic go awry and the only option to get to safety is to trek through the jungle - albeit in the company of three UN soldiers - then it's a whole different ballgame.
Fast-paced and unputdownable, this is an enjoyable jungle romp with action! adventure! and romance! spiced with mayhem and danger all the while exposing crime and corruption.

This book was a good, easy read. One felt compelled to keep reading, however it felt a bit contrived with all the convenient coincidences.

We all enjoyed this book. It was a light and quick read. Some felt the romance aspect was predictable. Others really enjoyed the Congo setting and descriptions.

A very popular choice. Readers enjoyed the excellent writing style and storyline - also to learn more about the setting and political climate of the area, including the role of the U.N.

We all thoroughly enjoyed this book. We felt the note writer's depiction of it as a 'romance novel' was incorrect. We all felt that the romance part was a very minor part of the story which was about far more serious issues.

A good holiday read. Really a romantic novel, but the author introduced us to child exploitation in the Congo diamond mines, and the corruption that happens in Africa. Well-written.

We agreed it was a good holiday read because of the adventure of it. Disagreed with the reviewer referring to it as a romantic novel.
