About this listen

It was the holiday of a lifetime - a chance for Eve Hardaway to rediscover herself following the break-up of her marriage - until Eve catches a glimpse of someone she should never have seen. She was not the first to do so. But a woman who previously laid eyes on this mysterious stranger has disappeared without trace. Soon Eve and her travelling companions look set to suffer the same fate. Then a storm cuts off their remote jungle camp from the outside world. And Eve knows that if she is ever going to see her young son again, she will be forced to find reserves of courage and resourcefulness she never dreamt she possessed - or die trying.

With great pace and pitch-perfect characterisation, Gregg Hurwitz ratchets up the tension in Don't Look Back. Fans of Harlan Coben and Simon Kernick will be hooked from the word go.

Gregg Hurwitz is the internationally best-selling author of You're Next, Or She Dies, We Know and I See You. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities, he lives with his family in California, where he writes screenplays, television and comics, including Batman and Wolverine.

Critic Reviews

"Thrilling...Hurwitz skilfully ratchets up the tension as his characters prove their mettle through nerve-wracking and exciting trials." (Publishers Weekly)

"Hurwitz never disappoints and with Don't Look Back he takes his storytelling talents to new heights of suspense and terror.... From the opening moment of tension to the singularly terrifying final act, this story of survival and death left me breathless." (James Rollins)

The story gets you in from the opening sentences. I loved it and could not remove the headphones. I am now a true fan of Gregg Hurwitz and will look to read many of his other works.

Holiday hell at its worst

Once this story gets going the narrator does a magnificent job of unfolding this gripping tale. The descriptions so vivid that at times one feels they are almost in the jungle with the characters.

Edge of the seat thrill ride.

I want to say this is not his best writing or story. It had momentum but the constant tag and escape was unrealistic. There was so much death and destruction and so very little emotion from Eve. Albeit she kept a level head but I suspect there should have been murderous intent on her behalf, and desperation. It was readable but not relatable.

Story was a bit to slow to start. An interesting idea but the implausibility factor was way too high...
Not too mention an unsustainable level of human endurance that made the end play a tad too unbelievable.
Overall, a good listen on a long drive.

Entertaining but...

Now that is how you write a thrilling novel. I was taken from the warmth of my bed to the jungle of Mexico. I was there with the characters as they felt joy, fear and rejoice....100% recommend
