‘Look after your daughter’s things. And your daughter …’
When a stranger asks Jo Blackmore for a lift she says yes, then swiftly wishes she hadn’t.
The stranger knows Jo’s name, she knows her husband Max and she’s got a glove belonging to Jo’s two-year-old daughter, Elise.
What begins with a subtle threat swiftly turns into a nightmare as the police, social services and even Jo’s own husband turn against her.
No one believes that Elise is in danger. But Jo knows there’s only one way to keep her child safe – RUN.
The Sunday Times best-seller returns with her biggest and best book yet. The perfect read for fans of Paula Hawkins and Clare Mackintosh.

The English Roses, David Austin, Isbn 9781840917512 (Conran Octopus) BD14.500 for Gulf Weekly Book Club members
David Austin Roses is one of the world’s leading rose nurseries. Together with his son David J.C. Austin, he heads up a family-run business that has created rose gardens containing more than 800 varieties.
Around 1.2 million roses are grown for sale every year and the team carries out one of the largest rose breeding programmes in the world.
Born in 1926, David has been breeding and hybridising roses for more than 70 years and is still very active. The English Roses developed have brought them to a new level of beauty and strength and an ability to flower continually throughout the summer and autumn makes them one of the most durable in the garden.
In this revised and updated edition, the author describes how he combines the beauty and fragrance of the Old Roses with the repeat-flowering and wide colour range of the Modern Roses. David presents seven groups of classification and advises how to grow and maintain them.
Featuring more than 20 new rose varieties, all with detailed descriptions and updated photography throughout, this third revised edition of The English Roses is an essential reference for all rose lovers and gardeners.
