Summary
A missing girl. A child killer on the loose. Time is running out.
When a toddler goes missing in the middle of a bustling Bradford park in broad daylight, Detective Daniel Ward is put on the case. It ought to be an open and shut investigation, but the hours tick by, and Millie Thompson is nowhere to be found.
There’s only one conclusion DI Ward can come to: She was taken.
When a known child-killer is spotted in the vicinity, Ward fears the worst. Has this infamous monster struck again, right under his nose?
He has to catch up with the only lead he has before the infamous Hunters - merciless vigilante justice seekers who will seek retribution at any cost - catch up with his suspect first.
If they do, DI Ward may never find Millie alive again.
Set in the diverse, beautiful, and historical city of Bradford, The Past We Run From is the first in the DI Ward crime thriller series from debut crime novelist Meg Jolly. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, David J. Gatward, and LJ Ross. Join DI Ward today on a twisting race to solve the case.

"I raced through this book in one sitting. A compelling and intriguing plot that kept me turning the pages with a cast of complex and diverse characters and a gritty Northern setting. Highly recommended." (Imogen Clark, number-one Amazon best-selling author)

Nice Paced, Easy Listening
I enjoyed this book. I found it easy to listen to, not gruesome and would listen to another in the series. I liked the fact the team worked together well with no real ego clashes, as often occurs in these type of books.
It kept me listening & wanting to know if my theory was correct.

Good start
Format: audiobook
Narrator: Alan Turton
A child abduction is every parent’s nightmare and a disturbing subject so be prepared for the emotional rollercoaster.
A good start to this series as we are introduced to DI Daniel Ward.
I wasn’t sure about the narration to start with but I soon got used to his voice and lost in the story as it played out.

A great start to a fantastic series
I’ve just listened again to this book, having now heard it from book 1 to book 5.
All I can say is fantastic!
I was born and bred in this area, and the author shows her knowledge of the region clearly, particularly in the early books (although there are a couple of geographical errors in the later ones!)
The plot is great. The characters ring true; and the background story is very feasible!
Looking forward to books 6 and beyond!
Meg Jolly, you can clearly tell a great story - keep it up - please!!!

Oh so good
How great to find a nice straightforward detective story with no over the top plot lines or ridiculous behaviour by the main characters ?(maybe I read too much detective fiction but this seems to be a running theme at present). The narration is absolutely spot on, the characters likeable and well drawn, and the plot interesting . I look forward to the next one

Most enjoyable
I really liked this audiobook. The story was gripping, especially the ending, and I really warmed to the main character. I loved how the author, Meg Jolly, showed the camaraderie in the station, rather than everyone being at each other’s throats all the time as is so often the case in police stories. Alan Turton was a joy to listen to, although his rendition of female voices was a little bit comical! I’d recommend this book as a most enjoyable, easy listen.
