    About this audiobook

    The Sunday Times bestseller returns with her most thrilling book yet, An unputdownable read for fans of Into the Water and The Girlfriend.

    "Look after your daughter's things. And your daughter…"

    When a stranger asks Jo Blackmore for a lift she says yes, then swiftly wishes she hadn't.

    The stranger knows Jo's name, she knows her husband Max and she's got a glove belonging to Jo's two year old daughter Elise.

    What begins with a subtle threat swiftly turns into a nightmare as the police, social services and even Jo's own husband turn against her.

    No one believes that Elise is in danger. But Jo knows there's only one way to keep her child safe – RUN.

    The Sunday Times bestseller returns with her biggest and best book yet. The perfect read for fans of Paula Hawkins and Clare Mackintosh.
