Critic reviews

Absolutely unputdownable: convincing, compelling and ultimately heartbreaking (Erin Kelly)
A very special book - a page turner that is gripping, suspenseful and heartfelt, with a superb ending that delivers twice (Claire Douglas)
A brilliantly compelling and tightly plotted psychological thriller. The characters are real and complex, and McAllister's writing both grips and thrills. Her best yet! (Lucy Clarke)
This sharp, super-readable thriller stands out thanks to its taut plot and characters you really care about
Gillian McAllister lures you into the heart of her characters. She makes ordinary people do extraordinary things in the face of adversity. Haunting. Compelling. And all too possibly true (Jane Corry)
Clever, original and packed with family complications throughout, you'll change your mind time and again. . . and the ending will take your breath away
A heart pounding premise is taken on a journey that is as emotionally enriching as it is thrilling. I couldn't look away from this razor sharp exploration of truth, love and how the past shapes our present. Gillian McAllister is a tour de force, she just gets better and better (Holly Seddon)
The characters are as compelling and complex as the action. It's a brilliant psychological thriller which is even better for Gillian's professional knowledge (Amy Lloyd)
Flawless plotting and gripping from the first page to the last
Intricate plotting delivers a tense and suspenseful thriller
All stars

The story is solid and it works but I didn't feel myself hanging on to their every word waiting for them to solve this mystery, the reveals fell flat and even when she's learning new things it didn't set my mind racing trying to fit all the facts together.
The main characters are well thought out but all else fell away.

The narrator manages to whisper for 14 hours straight so kudos to them. Not sure it added much to the overall story telling but it did mean I had to concentrate even more just to stay with the story.

Overall its average at best.

No tension build up but nice story.

This wasn't a gripping page turner for me. Although I will say I found the story enjoyable and intriguing. The narrator was very good and really made me like Issy, the main protagonist. I was kept guessing until the end, so for me, this is all I need. It was very enjoyable.

Gentle unravelling

Another fantastic book from Gillian McAllister. Listened to it in two days and every word had me gripped. The characters were so believable and I could relate to so much of the story line. Some parts had me smiling and some brought a tear to my eyes. Zoe did an amazing job with the narration and really brought the story to life. I will be looking for more books she's narrated. . Gillian, please keep on writing :-)

Absolutely brilliant!
