About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
It’s Camilla’s first day back at work, her daughter’s first day at nursery.
But husband Luke is nowhere to be seen. The only trace of him is an unfinished note. Camilla tries to put it out of her mind; there must be a rational explanation.
At work, there are welcomes back, and too many distractions.
Then it starts.
Breaking news: there's a hostage situation developing in London.
The police arrive: Luke is caught up in it.
But he isn't a hostage. Luke - doting father, successful writer, enthusiastic runner and eternal optimist - is the gunman.
What Camilla does next is crucial. Because only she knows what the note he left behind says, and the clues it might hold . . .

Storyline
Loved the ideas in this book, couldn’t see the twists coming either. Liked the characters too. I would recommend it

Another fantastic read from Gillian Mc Allister
The plot was fantastic, the tempo increased as the book progressed, interesting characters, great plot twists. But for the love of God use Irish voice actors, Niall was a great character but the accent was woeful.

Brilliant characters and storyline!
Great story but over long and confusing introspection by main character. Suspense and twists were captivating.

Loved it - shame about the ending
Gripped from the start, couldn’t put it down, but the ending was a real anticlimax. Emilia Fox is a good narrator apart from the terrible Irish accent.

A bit of a drag
Usually like this author but this book really dragged for me. I found myself forcing myself to listen, didn’t really care about any of the characters. Wouldn’t recommend tbh.

Narrator is the bow that tied this all together!
Grabbed me from the start and then gently carried throughout. Great listen!
