From Goodreads: ” 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.
From their family, their friends, even from Lauren’s husband.
No goodbyes. Just new names, new home, new lives.
One mistake – a text, an Instagram like – could bring their old lives crashing into the new.
As Lauren will learn, disappearing is easy.
Staying hidden is much harder . . .“
My Review
Wow what a fantastic thriller, and another fantastic read from Gillian McAllister!
I loved this book, it was so tense all the way through. There were so many characters that I didn’t trust, even ones that seemed very trustworthy.
I really liked Lauren, Aidan, Zara and Poppy. They felt like real people, people that I could be friends with. Oh and Bill Gates was so perfect!
I must admit that I thought what Aidan did was very irresponsible, although I could sort of understand why he did it. I really felt for Lauren and Zara going into hiding, and having to start new lives all by themselves. I don’t think I could do it, leaving my husband behind, but maybe, to protect my son I could. A choice I hope I never have to make!
I don’t want to say any more, as I really don’t want to spoil it for anyone. This book definitely confirms why I love Gillian McAllister’s books and beautiful writing. I highly recommend it if you enjoy psychological thrillers.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Penguin UK – Michael Joseph for my digital copy.
Bill Gates? Something tells me it’s not THE Bill Gates? Great review Nicki!
