About this listen

Sometimes hiding isn't your only option... When Rob Hale wakes up in hospital after a motorcycle crash he is told that Lena, the woman he claims was travelling with him, doesn't exist. The woman he describes bears a striking resemblance to his recently deceased sister, Laura, but has he really only imagined her? Rob sets out to find the answers to who Lena is and where she has gone. He is aided by Rebecca Lewis, a London-based PI, who has come to the Isle of Man at the behest of his parents to investigate his sister's suicide.

But who is Rebecca really and how did she know his sister? Together Rob and Rebecca follow the clues to discover who took Lena. In doing so they discover that even on an island where most people know each other, everyone hides a secret, and that sometimes your best option isn't to hide but to stay and fight.

What I love about Chris Ewans books apart from the gripping storyline is the amazing detail. Every scene is portrayed so well that you feel you are there in the middle of the action. All the key characters have depth and the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat.

I enjoyed all of his Good Thief's Guide series and didn't think that there could be anything better (lot of writers move away from loved characters) but this book has exceeded my expectations. I would love for him to write more of his series but this is also an excellent read a step up in terms of a much meatier thriller. Much more violence in this book compared to previous but all pertinent to the fast moving plot.

Simon Vance as always is the perfect narrator. superb with male and female accents in a natural flowing way bringing life to brilliantly drawn characters.

After reading this book I can't wait to read Chris Ewans new book: THE INTERVIEW due out on the 15th September.

Another Excellent Thriller by Chris Ewan

This is my 1st audiobook and it's been excellent. The story is gripping and well written. It takes a while to get into the narrator doing all the different characters voices but after the first few chapters it adds to it I think :)

Really enjoyed. Excellent 1st audiobook experience

I found this story rather boring and difficult to enjoy even though Simon Vance was the narrator.

Have read better books

An Intriguing Thriller

Good story with lots of twists but at times I got a little annoyed with the main character, he was useless at times. the author described things in great detail..almost too much on occasion..in one part describing several types of tape!

Good story

loved the whole book the fact it was based on the island made it special tho all the characters and story was stand alone great and would've fitted most settings. really enjoyed it

As a Manx man myself ,I loved the details that made it feel personal unlike most crime thrillers I read

I listened to this book on Audible having checked out a list of popular audiobooks and this came near the top. It is a good book to listen to with plenty of action. The narrator has a good voice and delivery and helps to bring the story to life. As is the case with these sort of stories perhaps the plot is a bit far fetched, however if stories weren't a bit far fetched they would be fairly dull, so I think that this is acceptable. Chris Ewan manages to keep the story moving along at a good pace and you never believe that he is padding things out or has lost his way.



I won't detail the story line, I am sure that others will do that!



However I would recommend giving this story a chance.

A good read (or listen!)

Thoroughly enjoyable. Interesting characters, some clever & some downright evil ! Lots of twists. My favourite narrator too.

Excellent story, plenty of twists.

The story was interesting but did not require the level of descriptive gratuitous violence which at times I found sickening, and I am a member of the medical profession!

This book is very violent!
