About this listen

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.

overall not a bad read but the storyline was a little cliche and too many little story plots that didn't develop properly. Not Taylor's best work.

Took a while to get into and was a bit uncomfortable to listen to at first but as story gathered pace enjoyed the suspense of the chase!

An exhilarating listen

Worth persevering as the last part of the book is very exciting. It’s a slow start and the main character is annoyingly weedy at the beginning (which sets the tone) and that seemed overdone at the time but with hindsight I get it.
Worth a listen - and I really don’t understand why the narrator has been criticised adversely.
