Publisher's Summary

The perfect escape....

Gabrielle Adams has it all - brains, beauty, a handsome fiancé and a dream job in publishing.

Until, one day, everything changes.

The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London.

Gabrielle soon learns that being a survivor is harder than being a victim, and she struggles to return to her old life. Desperate to break free from endless nightmares, she snatches up an opportunity to run a tiny bookshop in a picturesque cove in rural Cornwall.

She thinks she’s found the perfect escape, but has she swapped one nightmare for another?

Suspense and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced thriller, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

good story

good story, but I found the narrator read to fast. I was having to go back and listen to what was said so to keep up with the story

Worth the read.

I really enjoyed this novel and didn’t pick the ending as I can in most others. Thanks for a good read.

This could have been so much more

Good story EXCEPT it contains the old man-rescues-woman cliche not just once but twice. Seriously! This story would have been far more powerful if she could have rescued herself!

Fantastic book!

This was wonderful. I had no idea what to expect, but I was so pleased. Pleased at the surprises and that my favourite characters could remain favourites.
