Story
January 1992. A baby girl is left alone for a moment. Long enough for a mother to dash into a shop. Long enough for a child to be taken. Thirteen years later, solicitor Robert Knight's stepdaughter wins a place at a prestigious London school for the gifted. The only puzzle is his wife Erin's reaction. Why is she so reluctant to let Ruby go? Doesn't she want what's best for her? As Erin grows more evasive, Robert can't help but feel she has something to hide and when he stumbles on mysterious letters, he discovers she has been lying to him.

Story
Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The gripping new psychological suspense from the Sunday Times best-selling author of No Further Questions and The Evidence Against You.
What do you do when you can't run and you can't hide?
Lauren's daughter, Zara, witnessed a terrible crime. But speaking up comes with a price, and when Zara's identity is revealed online, it puts a target on her back.
The only choice is to disappear.
To keep Zara safe, Lauren will give up everything and everyone she loves, even her husband.
There will be no goodbyes. Their pasts will be rewritten. New names, new home, new lives.
The rules are strict for a reason. They are being hunted. One mistake - a text, an Instagram like - could bring their old lives crashing into the new.
They can never assume someone isn't watching, waiting.
As Lauren will learn, disappearing is easy. Staying hidden is harder....

Genuine Psychological Thriller
So well written! I actually felt myself in the position of Witness Protection. The agonising choices of who to take, who to leave behind, where to draw lines. Agreeing to rules that absolutely demand the old life being left behind and forgotten without any contact whatsoever - especially difficult with today's social media.
That much I expected from the book, but additionally it turned out to be a really good thriller as well. You could call it a Domestic Thriller, but NOT just with the woman as the lead character, in this book we get the perspective from ALL family members in turn.
This is not a police investigation, it's better than that. The family are the protagonists with twists and turns as threats emerge from the footballing gang who we already know are murderers. Very real threats that we as listeners can relate to. It's a book with multiple threads, but despite this, not hard to follow.
Very good surprise ending.
There are a few editing issues in this recording, some words repeated, some completely missing (e.g. at 3:24:13 we get 12 seconds of silence). These issues did not unduly affect enjoyment of the book.

Okay!
Looking at all the rave 5 star reviews, I must be missing something. I can see the story is good enough, but it’s not doing it for me. I reached chapter 21 and haven’t really found any of the characters very engaging. The quality of the writing is good, but I am not finding the story particularly interesting. The premise is fine, but, as far as I can tell at this stage, there isn’t anywhere unexpected to go with it. I will leave it and move on to another book.

I thought it was brilliant 👏
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel , apart from few minor points, I wouldn't change anything. The twists brought real tension to my body, I was literally on edge. I could feel the emotions experienced by the characters , the disappointment , anxiety resentment and the rest. One of the best books I've listened to in 2020.
Narrator Nicola also did an amazing job. I'll be looking out for more books narrated by her.

Just brilliant
Omg this book really is unputdownable! It was recommended by one of the members of The Book Club on Facebook and I bought the Audible version and couldn't stop listening. Eventually, though, I had to when I noticed it was 3am, but I finished it the next day.
Crime and psychological thrillers are my favourite genre but can sometimes be a bit cliched, but this one is original, focusing on witness protection and how difficult it is for all those involved. It is wonderfully written and I became totally absorbed in the lives of the characters, all beautifully portrayed by the author, and was really rooting for them. I did guess the ending but it didn't spoil it for me. It's one of my favourite books of the year so far. My first book by Gillian McAllister, but definitely not the last!
The Audible version if narrated by the wonderfully talented Nicola Walker and she brought it all to life.
