THE GRIPPING PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NO FURTHER QUESTIONS AND THE EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU

You can run, you can hide, but can you disappear for good?

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 . . .

OMG!

OMG is not an expression I use normally but it is so appropriate for this great book. I could not put it down. Emotion, tension, thrills and love, because apart from being a thriller it is also a love story.
Just the best in every way as indicated by my 5 star rating across the board.
I smiled and I cried, I absolutely believed. It is a really brilliant read and you could do yourself a huge favour by buying and listening to it.

My score is 4.5 but can’t give halves

I really enjoyed this story. I wanted to find opportunities to keep listening! It made me think about being in that scenario. I have just bought a second book from same author and hope it is as enjoyable.

Roller coaster of emotion

Loved the characters perspectives and twists and turns! Narrated in a smooth and seemless way that characters sprang to life as the book evolved…

Surprise!

Another great story from McAllister. I was a little shocked at the ending, then made peace with her decision and was even a little impressed with the bold nature of her choice. The epilogue then came as a total surprise. I was sucked in big time.
