Laura and Kit are a young married couple, expecting their first children, who have been on the run for years. They have changed their names, they stay off social media, they don't do things that draw attention to them, all to escape the notice of their stalker.

Except there is one thing they can't resist -- a total solar eclipse. Kit has been following the eclipses since he was child, and he's not going to stop now. Even though it was something the two of them witnessed during an eclipse that has led to how they live now. This eclipse will take him away from Laura, to a remote island -- surely their stalker couldn't find him there?

I don't want to give away too many details, because part of the pleasure of this book is the way things are unraveled and revealed. The point of view changes between Laura and Kit and between the present and the past. There's a nice twist at the end that I wasn't really expecting.

This isn't a fast read, but if you like a psychological thriller, this one is worth your time.
