LoveReading Expert Review of No Place to Hide
Overflowing with suspense, this is a dramatic and gripping family tale. Justine attempts to start a brand new life in the USA and bury all evidence of her old one in England, however fate isn't prepared to hold her hand. The story varies between the present and the past, eighteen years previously gradually moves forward in time to meet the present day. Susan Lewis knows exactly how to march the tension levels to an almost unbearable level, she also knows exactly when to release them in order to run riot across the page. ‘No Place to Hide’ effectively presents a family like any other and then proves that nightmare scenarios can ignore boundaries, rampage through respectability and tear apart happiness. Steeped in heartache, torment and grief, there is an undeniable tenderness and consideration that sits alongside these difficult emotions, making this a wonderfully compelling read. ~ Liz Robinson
