Summary

It was the holiday of a lifetime - a chance for Eve Hardaway to rediscover herself following the break-up of her marriage - until Eve catches a glimpse of someone she should never have seen. She was not the first to do so. But a woman who previously laid eyes on this mysterious stranger has disappeared without trace. Soon Eve and her travelling companions look set to suffer the same fate. Then a storm cuts off their remote jungle camp from the outside world. And Eve knows that if she is ever going to see her young son again, she will be forced to find reserves of courage and resourcefulness she never dreamt she possessed - or die trying.

With great pace and pitch-perfect characterisation, Gregg Hurwitz ratchets up the tension in Don't Look Back. Fans of Harlan Coben and Simon Kernick will be hooked from the word go.

Gregg Hurwitz is the internationally best-selling author of You're Next, Or She Dies, We Know and I See You. A graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities, he lives with his family in California, where he writes screenplays, television and comics, including Batman and Wolverine.

Critic reviews

"Thrilling...Hurwitz skilfully ratchets up the tension as his characters prove their mettle through nerve-wracking and exciting trials." (Publishers Weekly)

"Hurwitz never disappoints and with Don't Look Back he takes his storytelling talents to new heights of suspense and terror.... From the opening moment of tension to the singularly terrifying final act, this story of survival and death left me breathless." (James Rollins)

Not what I was expecting - better! Definitely would recommend. Made me so glad I was warm, safe and in my own home.

many twists and turns

Excellent, it avoids cliche and provides some interesting details. You will want to keep going to the end.
I did not notice the narrator, which is what you want, they did a great job of letting the story talk.

Pulse raising

Excellent book. It would make a great film but won’t send you off to sleep as so much happening so better as an afternoon read.

An Amazing Experience!

What a brilliant listen, I was hooked from the first and it just got better and better. I have never read a book like it and will return to it again I know.
Thankyou Gregg for this, my second of your books, I have already downloaded your next book.

Entertaining.

I don't think the narrator was well matched to the story. She's not bad at all, but an odd choice for a thriller I felt. She reminded me of some of the children's books my kids have listened to. It downplayed the intensity of the story and felt in conflict with what the author was trying to convey in many parts. But the story was good and kept me entertained.

Wow!

I was a little confused at the very beginning as we meet a few different characters at once but a few chapters in I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see how it all ended. Really enjoyed, my first by this author and great narration too.

Very enjoyable

I find Gregg Hurwitz a little hit and miss but this really held my interest.

Slightly (!) implausible for huge chunks of the story but then fiction is allowed to be. A rollercoaster listen, likeable characters and well narrated.

Absolutely brilliant

love this author and this narrator but this has to be one of his best. really tense and exciting the whole way through and really different to his others (that I've read so far)
