'Louise Doughty leads her unnerved readers into dark territory.' HILARY MANTEL
'Clever, twisty, propulsive.' CLAIRE FULLER
'Doughty is a brilliant storyteller who knows how to build suspense to breaking point.' The Times
The latest from the Number One Sunday Times Bestselling author Louise Doughty
Bird is a woman on the run. One minute, she's in a meeting in her office in Birmingham - the next, she's walking out on her job, her home, her life. It's a day she thought might come, and one she's prepared for - but nothing could prepare her for what will happen next. As she flees north using multiple disguises, Bird has to work out who exactly is on her trail, and who - if anyone - she can trust. Like many people, she has fantasised about escape for a long time, but now it's actually happening. Is her greatest fear that she will be hunted down, or that she will never be found?

Liked it
I liked the main character but the story was a bit slow at times. However, that is not a complaint. it was a bit more literary than I usually read and I would like to read more by this author having loved Appletree Yard and Platform 7.

The story
The narrator is great. I’ve listened to her read other books and it convinced me to read this one too.

Good.
I really enjoyed this novel. Aside from anything else, it’s refreshing to have a 50-year-old woman who isn’t weak as the main protagonist. I was a little disappointed with the last couple of chapters however. They seemed a bit rushed and not as considered as the rest of the book.

Really dull and dreary
Don't get the rave reviews, the whole book is read in the same monosyllabic tone all the way through, no feeling, no emotional, no suspense... just really dreary?

Tense thriller
An absorbing and engaging thriller that twists and turns in a way that keeps you guessing about who can be trusted and who cannot. A great listen.

A good book, just a little slow at times and I would have liked a more definite end to the storyline.

Captivating idea of escape
Very interesting escape story which although melancholy in its nature was well told and immensely intriguing

A great story but a disappointing abrupt ending.
I couldn’t believe It had ended when it did. I enjoyed the story the whole way through but it left me hanging & somewhat disappointed when it ended!
