Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 . . .

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.

Wow!

This was an excellent book. Superb insightful writing.
Character development was so good. I felt like I knew the main protagonists.
If you are looking for a grown up thriller, this is it.

Really great book

This book was so interesting and I am not someone that gives 5 stars easily. From start to finish it got to the point and didn’t drag. It was also a unique storyline.

A Good Listen!

So well narrated! Really believable story, aside from one little bit near the end, but overall I'd totally recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of a page turner. This is the first book I've listened to/read by this author but I'll be looking up her other publications.

Brilliant book.

Well written with a gripping plot. Keeps you on edge of seat until the bitter end. Read it all. Don’t miss the epilogue.

Fast-paced & you wonder how you feel if you had to disappear!

Fast-paced with twists…main characters are likeable, real, chatty, and flawed. When ‘disappearing’ who would you miss? Who would miss you most? The dog struck a chord!
