Jamie and Victoria are expecting their first baby. With a few weeks to go, they head off for a final weekend break in a remote part of the North Pennines. The small and peaceful guesthouse is the ideal location to unwind together before becoming parents. Upon arrival, they are greeted by Barry and Fiona, the older couple who run the guesthouse. They cook them dinner and show them to their room before retreating to bed themselves. The next morning, Jamie and Victoria wake to find the house deserted. Barry and Fiona are nowhere to be seen. All the doors are locked.

Story
Five years ago, Olivia Sutherland was wrongfully convicted of plotting to murder. Now she's finally free, Olivia has three goals. Repair her relationship with her daughter. Clear her name. And bring down her husband—the man who framed her. Just how far is she willing to go to get what she wants? And how far will her husband go to stop her? Because his lies run deeper than Olivia could ever have imagined—and this time it’s not her freedom that’s in jeopardy, but her life.

London. Early morning, June 2019: on the foreshore of the river Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones. DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago. Also inside the bag is a trail of clues, in particular the seeds of a rare tree which lead DCI Owusu back to a mansion in Chelsea where three people lay dead in a kitchen. Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family whose secrets can't stay buried for ever.

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

I haven’t lived here long. The house is small and a little run-down, but each piece of faded floral wallpaper I peel away feels like unwrapping the second chance I never thought I’d get. I’m finally free to wear what I want, and I don’t flinch when I accidently burn dinner. My new home is warm, and the kids are safe inside. Anywhere would feel idyllic after the nightmare marriage I’ve just escaped.

Happily married couple Katie and Sean have plenty to look forward to as they move into their new home and plan for the future. But then they meet two of their new neighbours and everything on their quiet street suddenly doesn't seem as desirable as it did before. Having been warned about the other neighbours, and their adulterous and criminal ways, Katie and Sean realise that they are going to have to be on their guard if they want to make their time here a happy one. But the other neighbours seem so nice and that's why they choose to ignore the warning.
Summary
In this exhilarating thriller from four million copy bestselling author Mark Edwards, Aidan’s spent years looking for his sister. Will he ever find her?
Two years ago, on a trip to Seattle to visit her brother Aidan, fifteen-year-old Scarlett vanished into thin air. After years of false leads and dead ends, Aidan has almost given up hope. But then a woman sees a girl running for her life across a forest clearing in Northern California. She is convinced the girl is the missing Scarlett. But could it really be her?
Heading south, Aidan finds a fire-ravaged town covered in missing-teenager posters. The locals seem afraid, the police won’t answer any questions and it looks like another dead end—until a chance meeting with returned local Lana gives Aidan his first clue. But as they piece together what happened, Lana and Aidan make deadly enemies. Enemies willing to do anything to silence them.
Only one thing matters now: finding Scarlett—even if it kills him.
Critic reviews
“No Place to Run is that most wonderful of things—a book that opens with a breath-takingly startling premise and then keeps the momentum going until the very last page…Just brilliant, Mark Edwards really is in a league of his own.”—Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs
“Like a Reacher, but with a hero like the rest of us.”—Linwood Barclay, bestselling author of Take Your Breath Away
“No Place to Run is another cracker from Mark Edwards.”—Elly Griffiths, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway Mysteries

Action thriller
An elderly woman on a train glances through the window and sees a young woman being chased across a field. She identifies the girl as Scarlett Faith, a teenager who went missing two years ago while visiting her brother Aidan in Seattle. Aidan decides to investigate.
This is a bit different to Mark Edwards usual psychological thrillers and is more of an action thriller as Aiden tries to California to find hisi sister, whilst being chased by some proper baddies! I really liked the character of Aidan but loved Lana! It is a fast, entertaining read, and I loved the climate change aspect of the plot.
I enjoyed the narration by Will M Watt.

Not his usual edge of the seat thrilling read
Sadly, I found this audiobook absolutely dreadful even though I stupidly persisted to the end The horrendous American accent didn’t help and I found the story pretty unlikely although maybe not impossible. I am so sorry as Mark’s books are amongst my favourite but this one sadly just didn’t do it for me. I hope he returns to his past successes after this.

My least favourite Mark Edwards novel
Marks weakest novel to date imo. Too much of a deviation in style. there is a lot of building up to not much. There aren't really many twists and turns like his previous novels which makes the story quite generic. if you liked his previous novels you might be quite disappointed by this one.

Time Running Out
This seems to be a departure from the usual Mark Edwards books and more like a crime caper than the thought provoking stories he writes. I think this one would be better read as a physical book than listen to an audio version as I kept having to go back to check out who was who and none of the characters really stood out to me. I guessed how it would end before I got to it, so although I got it right, I was quite disappointed.

Boring..
I'm done at 47%. I don't care to read about climate change and I don't care who is vegan. That's almost as bad as authors mentioning about Covid and "where's your mask?' Just give me a good mystery and never mind all that BS.
I'm sure there no sex but the F-bomb was used 36 times.
As for the narration: Will M. Watt is pretty darn boring!

My Favorite Mark Edwards Book!
Impeccable narration, truly suspenseful story, great storyline. What more can you ask for? I really liked the characters in this book. They were brought to life through Mark’s prose & Will’s lovely English accent. I just love narration by Englishmen & women, of course. Anyway, never a spoiler from me, you just have to read this one for yourself. I totally enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Aidan has never given up on finding his sister, even though she’s been missing for 2yrs. When an elderly lady contacts him and says ghat she saw Scarlett from a train, Aidan goes in search. However, not everyone wants him to search for answers and soon, along with Lana…who’s searching for her brother…the pair are running for their lives. Enjoyable story.

Quite a story!
I’ve listened to many of Mark Edwards books and this is one of the best, if not the best. It grabs you from the first chapter and won’t let go. It moves along at fast pace. There are lots of action and enough suspense to keep the readers glued to the story. The narrator is excellent at story-telling, not reading. I like how he put feelings into his voice that makes listening seem like watching a movie. I wish it was longer, but that’s the beauty of Edwards books. He doesn’t pad them with useless details and bores the readers to death.

Horrible waste of time
Hard to believe it's written by Mark Edwards, it seems to be about a climate change cult, with a lot of preachy unsubstantiated so called 'facts'. It's exceedingly boring and barely kept my attention, I feel I should be rewarded for having finished. Should have given up on this drivel after the first few chapters.
