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 . . .

Brace yourself for a nerve-wracking 12 hours

Though I couldn't honestly say that I enjoyed this book, enjoy is simply the wrong word, it was an intense, emotional rollercoaster of a ride that I am glad I listened to. Nicola Walker was of course fantastic. But I might not venture into another Gillian McAllister, at least for a little while, to give myself time to recover!

Well told and worth sticking with to the end.

An engrossing story of a family in Witness protection but its more than an edge of the seat will they won't you;it's a discussion on family relationships and responsiniliries. Kept this listener engrossed.

Fantastic!

What a brilliant story, twists and turns everywhere!
So many times I had my hand in my mouth shouting ‘no!’
Very well written, tense, dramatic, funny at times.
Definitely a must read thriller.

Easy read

A bit predictable with too many illogical occurrences. But if you suspend the logic a good tale

Is it really that easy?

Does protection get offered so easily? It was an interesting insight into the process and struggles. But not entirely convincing. Dodgy ending too.
