About this listen

The explosive, unforgettable new thriller from Jo Spain - pre-order now!

For one week, everything in Luke Miller's life is perfect. Surprised with a belated honeymoon by his wife, Rose, he's had seven days with her in a Caribbean paradise. It's more than he ever thought he'd deserve.

But as they pack their bags, Rose breaks down, confessing that on the day they left London, a violent man from her past tracked her down and broke into their home. He wasn't expecting her to fight back. And, in her terror, Rose killed him. Now there's a dead body in Luke's apartment, and only one person he can think to turn to.

Mickey Sheils never expected to hear from Luke again, not after he disappeared the first time. Luke knows Mickey can't deny a woman who needs help, so she promises she'll deal with things - she'll make sure Rose doesn't have to keep running.

But it turns out, some lies are too big to run from.

Critic Reviews

Don't Look Back is a beautifully controlled thriller full of brilliant writing, great characters and smart twists. I loved it

A griptastic thriller, Jo Spain's Don't Look Back keeps us guessing as the story twists itself inside out and upside down. Everyone has secrets, but how many of them are deadly? Brilliant characterisation and plotting as we have come to expect from Jo. Compelling, enthralling and entertaining

This is trademark Jo Spain at her brilliant best - a one-sitting read, non-stop tension, clever twists and turns, and of course, nothing is ever as it seems

A cast of credible characters, razor-sharp writing and a compelling ending ensures Don't Look Back is very hard to set aside. Devour it

A masterpiece in misdirection . . . the novel is terrifically slick, glossy and assured. It is relentlessly high-octane stuff, propulsive and tense. This is as unpredictable a crime novel as I can remember

Jo Spain's brilliantly crafted mystery peels back layers of detail and deception in chilling style

An addictive, fast-paced thriller from one of Ireland's leading crime fiction writers, you won't be able to put it down

Ideal summer reading

This will keep you gripped

Another rip-roaring thriller from one of Ireland's leading crime authors

Jo Spain's Don't Look Back is brilliant - we binged in one sitting

As always, Spain takes us on a crazily twisty ride

Jo Spain knows how to build suspense

A rip-roaring, twisty ride

A page-turning, addictive ride into a dark, dangerous world. I love Jo Spain's thrillers and Don't Look Back is up there with her best (BP Walter)

Moving between the Caribbean, London and Ireland, this is a gripping thriller with complex characters - particularly Mickey, who deserves her own series

Most relevant

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the plot, surprises during the story. The narrator is excellent and should be thanked.
