KATHERINE BLACK REVIEW
A new author for me and I very much enjoyed this book. This is an atmospheric psychological thriller that keeps readers on edge. The story delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche and the narrative shifts between gripping action and a great road trip. This was my favourite element of the story. I loved travelling across the country with Laura in the UV.
When she sees her attacker in a chance encounter, trouble comes at her from more than one direction when her close friendship with a like-minded woman gets too intense. I loved Laura’s new lifestyle, travelling free and selling crafts in roadside layby’s. She may have had her life obliterated, but she built herself a pretty good new one. The twists are masterfully handled and keep readers guessing.
The story evokes a rolling sense of dread. The descriptions pull you into the story, making the scenes vivid and drawing pictures between the lines. The characters are multi-dimensional, with complex motives and an emotional element of not recovering that elevates the novel. This is a must-read for fans of suspense.

Gillespie book. I enjoyed it! After reading more than 15 of Mark’s books – all of which I’ve
thoroughly enjoyed – I can say I’m hooked (at least on the ones he has written!) I like the way I
get pulled right into the story; it is always well-written and it keeps me engrossed. I’m not a fast
reader, so I usually miss some sleep, because I don’t want to put the book down. He always
has a twist or two, so I never see the end coming, but I’m always satisfied.
