Her fresh start is about to turn into a nightmare…

Audra has finally left her abusive husband. She’s taken the family car and her young children, Sean and Louise, are buckled up in the back. This is their chance for a fresh start.

Audra keeps to the country roads to avoid attention. Then she spots something in her rear-view mirror. A police car is following her and the lights are flickering. Blue and red.

As Audra pulls over she is intensely aware of how isolated they are. Her perfect escape is about to turn into a nightmare beyond her imagining…

‘A rollercoaster…complete with agonising tension and a heroine you can’t help rooting for’

Reviews

[Jane]

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review.

"Here and Gone" was one of those books that, upon reading the first few pages, I fell into with ease. My only big complaint is his diction and the lack of proper sentence structure—I prefer stories with proper clauses and grammar and punctuation over those with commas wherein an "and" should be placed. I don't find that sort of writing "quirky" or "easy to read"; I find it complicated and hesitant and weak.
