A truly gripping and unputdownable thriller that poses one intriguing question after another.
In 'One Wrong Turn' Ewan grips the reader from the outset. The unbelievable string of events is made believable and the suspense is maintained by the consistent inclusion of niggling doubts and overwhelming feelings.
A disturbing storyline but compelling reading.
Thank you to Macmillan and NetGalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Pan Macmillan for my arc ebook in return for an honest review.

If you haven’t read any of C.M Ewans books yet, you really need to. This is the third of his I’ve read and they’re all really good.

I guessed most of the plot for this one along the way, but that didn’t take anything away from the writing or story. Abi and Ben were in a tricky situation, a stranded couple with a baby needing a lift, in a dark lane, the air is filled with fog, what to do? Because of the baby they say yes, and try to put their uneasiness aside, but things soon start to feel weird.

This was really gripping, I loved the tension throughout.

Gripping, tense and claustrophobic.

Two storylines merge into one as a young couple, already arguing after being forced to return early from a weekend away on a dark and foggy night, feel compelled to stop and help a family whose car has broken down miles from civilisation.

Abi's every instinct is telling her not to stop but they can't abandon a young baby and injured mother.

What starts as a lift to a nearby A&E department gradually escalates to a fight for survival where nothing is as it seems.

This was so good and I enjoyed it so much! I'm so sorry it's taken so long to send my feedback. This kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and I stayed up way past bedtime to find out what was going to happen and who the good/bad guys were.

This book had me intrigued from the beginning. A suspenseful thriller that keeps you guessing right up until the end, it did not disappoint.
This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I was really impressed, Twists and turns aplenty, it was one thrilling ride.

An entertaining and fast paced novel with twists and turns aplenty. Would certainly stop me picking up anyone from the side of the road !

One Wrong Turn by C. M. Ewan

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Blurb

Late at night...

Abi and Ben are driving home down foggy country roads, arguing about having had to cut short their weekend away when they take a wrong turn. Abi’s driving, but her eyes leave the road for a moment as she says something to Ben – just as he gasps. A man is in front of the car, waving a torch. Abi swerves to avoid him.

You see a family stranded...

Ben tells her they should stop and go back, but Abi refuses. It’s dark, the roads are isolated and they don’t know this stranger. But, as Abi continues on, they see a broken-down car. Every instinct is still telling Abi to drive by, but then she notices the woman holding a car seat with a baby in it.

Would you stop?

For a moment, Abi hesitates, but they can’t leave a mother and baby on the side of the road. Agreeing to give the family a lift, they set off again. But now these strangers are inside their car and it might be the worst mistake they have ever made...

My Opinion

C. M. Ewan has once again written a great psychological thriller. With short chapters I found this book difficult to put down, I kept wanting to read another chapter – I needed to know what was going to happen next. One Wrong Turn has a fast pace and everything is to the point. It is difficult to say what I liked about this book without giving away any spoilers, so instead I am just going to say that I highly recommend this book if you are a fan of thrillers.

Rating 4/5

Thank you for providing me with an advance review copy of this book. Enjoyed reading, would recommend....

Quite far fetched but a good read nonetheless…..Abi and Ben are driving home, with their own issues when they encounter a couple stranded on the street with their baby. Deciding to help may may not have been the best option but they have to see where it takes them. Easy to read!

This book took me on a wild, suspense-filled ride. Every twist caught me by surprise, and I couldn’t stop reading until I reached the final reveal. The ending was nothing short of brilliant.

This book was one of the best I read recently. It's a real page turner - full of suspense and twists. Highly recommended for fans of this genre - you won't be disappointed!!

It was quite a fast paced book, it was suspenseful from the beginning. It was a little too fast for me however, I struggled to keep up with the back and forth between the different POV's, it would've better if it had a little bit of a slower start but I do understand it builds the suspense and the plot so that's definitely just a personal preference, nothing bad against the book. I do recommend it if you enjoy a fast past thriller.

One Wrong Turn was a fast-paced, action-packed read which I found to be very easy to read start to finish!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Abi and Ben are driving home and take a wrong turn. The weather is appalling, and they come across a couple with a baby who seemed to have broken down and need their help. But the couple start to come across as shady and not as vulnerable as they seemed.

This was a real page turner. And it was wonderful to read how this story transpired. The characters were well written, and I especially like Abi and Ben, who came across well and like good, decent people, even though they had their own troubles to deal with. The storyline offered everything you could ask for. It had the right mix of suspense and intrigue, as well as being fast paced and completely gripping. This was one of my favourite reads this year, the author never fails to write a good, gritty, story full of twists and turns.

A fast heart-racing read. The tension does not let up at all and you will find yourself stopping all other activities to read on. I was lucky and was able to read it all whilst on a ferry journey. However the sea was a bit choppy which added to the tension.
I have enjoyed other books by this author and all been good.

This book was absolutely brilliant and one of the best I've read in ages.. it's utterly gripping from start to finish and I just could not put it down. Ability and Ben are travelling home from a break only to take a wrong turn in bad weather. Seeing a young couple with a baby who have broken down, they agree to help them and that's when the problems begin as all is not what it seems. I found this story really tense.

I for one won't be picking anyone up at the side of the road after reading this.

Buckle your seat belt and strap yourself in for a well written, fast paced, edge of the seat thriller that will keep you hooked from the start to the end.

Highly recommended!

Abi and Ben take a wrong turn and encounter a couple with a baby who have broken down and need assistance. The woman is injured, and they agree to drive the family to the hospital. However, the real question is: are these strangers as vulnerable as they seem?

This book is a wild ride! Fast-paced, gripping, and suspenseful, it kept me on the edge of my seat with each page I turned. The tension is palpable, making it impossible to put down. I felt the fear and anxiety vividly, with my heart racing throughout. It’s a thrilling read that keeps you holding your breath until the very end.

An excellent and exhilarating read—highly recommended!

Everyone MUST read this book! I was hooked from the get go and I cannot recommend it enough, I was so engrossed and wanted no one to talk to me and not to be an adult and go to work until after I’d finished!

This was gripping from the beginning right to the very end. The story flowed really well and whilst it was one of those situations that rarely if ever happens to an average person it was still a fantastic story. I felt a series of emotions all the way through, gasped in places and begged characters to run that bit faster or to hide that little bit better. A very well written book full of suspense.
