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 . . .

Wonderful

I have just finished How to Disappear & enjoyed the story enormously. However it was the brilliant audio provided by the amazing Nicola Walker that raised this book to the next level. She made the characters truly come alive and enhanced this story in a perfect manner. Thank you.

Definitely a binge listen

Be prepared to give up conversations until this is done. Terrific narration, with tensions galore and character perspectives explored. Makes you think: what if?

Thrilling and heartwarming (what a combination!)

I had to keep skipping back chapters as I was listening to hold on to new details. Mysteries aren’t usually as engaging without the gritty self sabotage of the main character and the lack of integrity and loyalties of the cast. This wonderful wholesome yet entirely fallible family went through a season where love wasn’t betrayed and still the thrills and tension steadily increased right to the end.
