Lauren and her daughter, Zara, are missing. Her husband will stop at nothing to find them. He knows they' re in danger. But the police know exactly where they are. They' re just not saying. Zara spoke out against a terrible crime - and now the police have mother and daughter under protection. New names, new identities, far from those they love. And those who hunt them. Tired, broken and alone Lauren is determined to protect her daughter at all costs. But little does she know that Zara is hiding a secret that could change everything . . .
Bravo! How to Disappear is undoubtedly her best yet. Gripping and emotional - a cracking read. -- Clare Mackintosh A clever and original thriller with a brilliant ending. Beautifully written and emotional as well as tense and unpredictable, I couldn' t put it down. -- Claire Douglas Totally addictive: clever, convincing and ingeniously plotted with twists that repeatedly pulled the rug from under my feet. But more than that, How to Disappear is peopled with characters so real and relatable you feel you could reach out and touch them. Any crime writer can keep you turning the pages - but few can make you care this much. -- Erin Kelly Some thrillers stage a few moments of high anxiety (at best); more thrillers simply sprinkle jitters here and there, like piano ditties peppered lightly with minor chords. ButHow to Disappear is a relentless drumroll of suspense, a knife-edge novel in which - at any moment, with any word, in the spaces between words - the characters can drop into danger as though falling through a trapdoor. They aren' t safe for even an instant . . . and neither is the reader who cares about them (and who couldn' t? ). Gillian McAllister' s rattling, deeply satisfying book ranks among the best psychological-suspense thrillers of recent years, but you' ll be reminded too of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, Celeste Ng' s Little Fires Everywhere. Bloody hell, this is a good one. -- A. J. Finn If Jodi Picoult wrote psychological thrillers, they would look like this. A compulsive read with a jaw-dropping twist, I read it in a day -- Rosamund Lupton Tense, twisty and perfectly paced, How To Disappear is a compelling portrait of a family under unbearable pressure - where one false step invites disaster into all their lives -- T. M. Logan Gillian McAllister has done it again. How to Disappear is a captivating story with unforgettable characters. This is one you can' t put down and you won' t soon forget -- Samantha Downing I couldn' t look away from this intricate and spellbinding exploration of the devastating ripples that spread from a terrible crime. The desperate and dangerous slippery slope that one family finds themselves on is as gut punching as it is believable. Whip smart and wonderfully written. -- Holly Seddon A clever, compulsive, cat-and-mouse family thriller that made my heart race. Never ever, would I want to go into a witness protection programme after this. Absolutely brilliant -- Jane Corry High tension, believable characters and a terrific plot. A truly riveting read -- Lesley Kara A totally gripping and heart-wrenching story that leaves you breathless. Her best book yet, and that' s saying something -- Jane Fallon At its core, this tense page-turner is a deeply original love story, and its characters are so warm and real that they stole my heart. I was absolutely gripped by Lauren, Aidan and Zara' s story - rarely have I read a novel so fast. -- Beth O' Leary Tense and brilliant. If anyone' s found expired with a copy of it lying next to them, it' ll be because they flat-out forgot to breathe. This is her best book yet -- Jill Mansell My goodness, it' s brilliant. The ending blew me away!A superb, tense and thrilling ride. I admit I stayed up far too late to finish it, but it was so worth it -- Melanie Golding If you read one book this year, make it this one -- Adam Croft I read How to Disappear with my heart in my mouth. Beautiful, layered, suffocating, with an impossible love story at its heart. -- Lia Louis Utterly compelling, addictive and gripping; the best psychological thriller I' ve read this year -- Lucy Clarke I was blown away. Being forced to consider the reality of life under witness protection, of family members having to make impossible, brutal choices, was heartbreaking. I think it will resonate with many people. It' s an outstanding and utterly gripping novel that deserves to be a bestseller -- Emma Curtis A highly original novel about witness protection that is tense and compelling with a great ending. Her best yet! -- Mark Edwards Praise for Gillian McAllister * - * I read it in a breathless day and a half.
