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 . . .

Fabulous
This was an engaging story that kept me tuned in wanting to know more! It was exciting and gripping. I have no idea how Ms McAllister came up with such a clever plot but she’s amazing! I’m now a big fan. Excellent narration too by Emilia Fox

Fantastic read!
I really liked the twists and although I worked out who Charlie was, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and I loved the storyline. Believable.

Didn’t want it to end
OMG. This was simply amazing. So much so that I didn’t want it to end. This author is so good at her craft of weaving such interesting stories. The characters were really well developed. The storyline…. Amazing.
Loved Emilia Fox as the Narrator too.

Lots of twists and turns
Good story, kept me guessing. A little heavy on the main character's inner thoughts regularly.

A confused story with long winded repetitive details and predictable but implausible ending
Was this a crime thriller ( the start) or a tacky romance (the rest of it). Started well but got bogged way way down in slow irrelevant unconnected detail. The ending was like a trashy romance novel.
