About this listen

Twenty years running from your past. Today it catches up.

A gripping psychological thriller for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

Leah Mills lives a life of a fugitive - kept on the run by one terrible day from her past. It is a lonely life, without a social life or friends until, longing for a connection, she meets Julian.

For the first time she dares to believe she can live a normal life. Then, on the 20th anniversary of that day, she receives a card. Someone knows the truth about what happened. Someone who won't stop until they've destroyed the life Leah has created. But is Leah all she seems? Or does she deserve everything she gets?

Everyone has secrets. But some are deadly.

The Girl with No Past spent over four weeks at number one in the Amazon chart.

I was really enjoying this but found the end really disappointing. I won’t say why as that would spoil it. It was compared with the likes of Gillian Flynn novels which it shouldn’t be because it’s not in the same league.

Young woman haunted by her past mistakes finds someone wants to make her pay for them now. Great captivating story. Excellent narrator.

At first I thought I had picked a teenage book by mistake, I even went back and checked the description to make sure!
At certain times I wanted to keep reading and finding out more, at other times I found it hard to pick up due to the content being triggering and dark
I find the thriller genre difficult as I enjoy many but some can be triggering
Guessed Adam’s character type early on
Did not expect either twist at the end though! Great twists!
The end was relieving - not because it was over but in terms of the character’s future
Agree with the other reviewer found it hard to continue after teacher scene
Maybe should just carry a trigger warning or more detailed blurb

Some great twists but triggering

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The main character's continual references to the 'big thing' that has happened, whilst drip feeding the details in flashbacks, soon becomes very tedious and feels very manipulative as a writing style. That, along with the character's tendency to put a negative slant on *everything* that is said, or happens, to her, make this a frustrating listen.

Not my favourite of this author's books, sadly.

Formulaic

Enjoyed this book but felt it was a little overlong. The story was good was there was too much scene setting and too much time spent on over description. Saying that it is a good thriller with plenty of twists and turns and is quite a page turner. I enjoyed and would recommend.

A good, if a bit drawn out, read
