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*
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*
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. But How 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*
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*
This intricately plotted drama is a masterclass in taut, twisty but
beautiful writing
*Sun*
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*
Another brilliant psychological thriller from Gillian
McAllister
*Hello!*
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*
Intense, utterly believable and at times shocking, it will make you
see the world - even one in confinement - through new eyes
*WI Life*
This book explores just how brutal witness protection can be, and
the choices people involved must make
*Woman's Own*
This intricately plotted drama is a masterclass in taut, twisty but
beautiful writing
*Fabulous*
A rollercoaster that will leave you gasping and turning the pages
for more
