OUT OF REACH is a decent read but I didn't find it compelling. A missing child is a familiar trope and McGregor's writing is easy to get through but I thought the characters and story was a little formulaic.

Omg......... this book was amazing I flew threw the pages with Olympic speed I was hooked from the very first page. I found it full of twists and turns threw out and it kept me on the edge of my seat all the way threw  I would defiantly recommend this book if you like a good book to keep you reading threw the night hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did

ELIZABETH MCGREGOR's novels are always thrilling. "Out of Reach" is a keeps your nerves frayed and your eyes wide open throughout every page. I love the cover and the story of all of her novels!

Out of reach by Elizabeth McGregor.
A good read with some good characters. I found this slow but I still read it. 3*.

For some reason this book wasn't for me and didn't manage to finish it. Thank you for giving me a copy of it

it was amazing

I received this book through NetGalley, and I am very late writing a review, for which I'm very sorry!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it fits my parameters of lots of suspense with little gore and violence. Occasionally you find a book where an author throws in a rare complication or disease or something similar that always makes me wonder if they have that condition themselves. I've encountered this occurrence in several novels. In this particular novel, McGregor introduces "synesthesia," a condition where a person sees words as colors or objects. Made for a very interesting narration.

Claire's child has been abducted through a lapse for which she is responsible, and she has been living in a hell ever since. For ten years the slim hope she has retained that he is still alive has been repressed.

A very good mystery which I had a hard time putting down.

Not really my sort of book, found it hard to get into
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Wow, this book addressed one of my biggest fears - what if my child goes missing, how on earth would I cope. This is what our main character Kate has to deal with. Her little boy Jamie went missing. And has come back to her - 10 years later - sort of, maybe not, maybe yes...... Well written!

I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!

Outstanding. Well written, beautiful descriptive language. With this originally published in 1997, McGregor was way ahead of her time and Out of Reach should be topping the charts with the likes of Gone Girl and Behind Closed Doors.

It doesn't happen often, in fact I can't remember the last time this happened but I gave this book a good innings. I read it until the halfway mark, with a struggle I might add!

I really couldn't grasp the characters, the jumping, the actual layout of the book.

Now I realise this was in a different cover years ago and now been re-introduced I'm even more mind boggled. Maybe it wasn't just the cover that needed looking at.

I don't mean to sound harsh as lots of time and attention go into writing a book. But for me, this story needs to be rewritten to make sense and be more of a gripping flow of a read.

Thank you to Endeavour Press via Net Galley

What a creepy set of male characters in this book! I felt uncomfortable to read what was on the minds of Jack, Johnathon and the landlord with the antique shop. But, like The Ice Child, this was a well written story and very layered.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

Kate is a haunted woman. When her baby was stolen it ruined her marriage and her life. She rebuilds her life and attempts to move on. But suddenly a note appears in her mailbox that says "I know where he is." The hunt leads to unexpected places. A really good read and an example of things not always being what they seem. The ending is somewhat disturbing, but an act of unselfishness.
