One dark secret will ruin everything . . . Elise used to be the great hope of her hometown. A promising young runner who'd make everyone proud at the national championships. That was before she messed everything up. After what happened, she's got no job, no girlfriend, no prospects. And the whole town hates her - almost as much as she hates herself. The only person who's never given up on her is her brother, Callum. But something weird is going on. He's missing. And the cops aren't even worried. Great read! This book was a great chilling thriller just like! It had suspense, murder, mystery, some crazy characters and some shocking twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I had a few hours to spare today, which was lucky, as I'd have struggled to put this book down and get on with things.
It was a one sit read for me.
Action packed, and with a few surprises, it kept me entertained rightthrough to the end.
The insights into who Elise was and how she was treated fleshed out not just the story, but her motivation for looking so desperately for her brother.
Excellent read.

Jack Heath has conjured a compulsive thriller about disgraced ex-athlete Elise, who's kept searching for her missing brother, Callum, a schoolteacher in small-town Australia, even as the police and others presume he's fled after drugs were found in his house. Grasping for even the smallest of leads, Elise stumbles into something incredibly dark, which puts her life and others at risk.

Heath does an excellent job drawing listeners in with a tense, intriguing storyline that turns on itself several times. I was transported into the story and taken for a great ride, and found myself devouring the whole thing in a day, unable to stop. Recommended.
