The gripping Sunday Times bestseller that will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page

'A relentless drumroll of suspense . . . ranks among the best psychological-suspense thrillers of recent years' A. J. Finn

'My heart was in my mouth whilst reading' 5***** Reader Review
__________

You can run, you can hide, but can you ever really disappear? . . .

Lauren's daughter Zara witnessed a terrible crime. But speaking up comes with a price, and when Zara's identity is revealed online, it puts a target on her back.

The only choice is to disappear.

From their family, their friends, even from Lauren's husband.

No goodbyes. Just new names, new home, new lives.

One mistake - a text, an Instagram like - could bring their old lives crashing into the new.

As Lauren will learn, disappearing is easy.

Staying hidden is much harder . . .

Recensione

Bravo! How to Disappear is undoubtedly her best yet. Gripping and emotional - a cracking read. -- Clare Mackintosh

A clever and original thriller with a brilliant ending. Beautifully written and emotional as well as tense and unpredictable, I couldn't put it down. -- Claire Douglas

Totally addictive: clever, convincing and ingeniously plotted with twists that repeatedly pulled the rug from under my feet. But more than that, How to Disappear is peopled with characters so real and relatable you feel you could reach out and touch them. Any crime writer can keep you turning the pages - but few can make you care this much. -- Erin Kelly

Some thrillers stage a few moments of high anxiety (at best); more thrillers simply sprinkle jitters here and there, like piano ditties peppered lightly with minor chords. ButHow to Disappear is a relentless drumroll of suspense, a knife-edge novel in which - at any moment, with any word, in the spaces between words - the characters can drop into danger as though falling through a trapdoor. They aren't safe for even an instant . . . and neither is the reader who cares about them (and who couldn't?). Gillian McAllister's rattling, deeply satisfying book ranks among the best psychological-suspense thrillers of recent years, but you'll be reminded too of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere. Bloody hell, this is a good one. -- A. J. Finn

If Jodi Picoult wrote psychological thrillers, they would look like this. A compulsive read with a jaw-dropping twist, I read it in a day -- Rosamund Lupton

Tense, twisty and perfectly paced, How To Disappear is a compelling portrait of a family under unbearable pressure - where one false step invites disaster into all their lives -- T. M. Logan

Gillian McAllister has done it again. How to Disappear is a captivating story with unforgettable characters. This is one you can't put down and you won't soon forget -- Samantha Downing

I couldn't look away from this intricate and spellbinding exploration of the devastating ripples that spread from a terrible crime. The desperate and dangerous slippery slope that one family finds themselves on is as gut punching as it is believable. Whip smart and wonderfully written. -- Holly Seddon

This intricately plotted drama is a masterclass in taut, twisty but beautiful writing ― Sun

A clever, compulsive, cat-and-mouse family thriller that made my heart race. Never ever, would I want to go into a witness protection programme after this. Absolutely brilliant -- Jane Corry

High tension, believable characters and a terrific plot. A truly riveting read -- Lesley Kara

A totally gripping and heart-wrenching story that leaves you breathless. Her best book yet, and that's saying something -- Jane Fallon

At its core, this tense page-turner is a deeply original love story, and its characters are so warm and real that they stole my heart. I was absolutely gripped by Lauren, Aidan and Zara's story - rarely have I read a novel so fast. -- Beth O'Leary

Tense and brilliant. If anyone's found expired with a copy of it lying next to them, it'll be because they flat-out forgot to breathe. This is her best book yet -- Jill Mansell

My goodness, it's brilliant. The ending blew me away! A superb, tense and thrilling ride. I admit I stayed up far too late to finish it, but it was so worth it -- Melanie Golding

If you read one book this year, make it this one -- Adam Croft

I read How to Disappear with my heart in my mouth. Beautiful, layered, suffocating, with an impossible love story at its heart. -- Lia Louis

Another brilliant psychological thriller from Gillian McAllister ― Hello!

Utterly compelling, addictive and gripping; the best psychological thriller I've read this year -- Lucy Clarke

I was blown away. Being forced to consider the reality of life under witness protection, of family members having to make impossible, brutal choices, was heartbreaking. I think it will resonate with many people. It's an outstanding and utterly gripping novel that deserves to be a bestseller -- Emma Curtis

A highly original novel about witness protection that is tense and compelling with a great ending. Her best yet! -- Mark Edwards

Intense, utterly believable and at times shocking, it will make you see the world - even one in confinement - through new eyes ― WI Life

This book explores just how brutal witness protection can be, and the choices people involved must make ― Woman's Own

This intricately plotted drama is a masterclass in taut, twisty but beautiful writing ― Fabulous

A rollercoaster that will leave you gasping and turning the pages for more ― Refinery29

The author's best book yet ― Prima

Included in 'The Hottest Summer Reads' ― Cosmopolitan

Included in 'Book Club' ― Woman's Weekly

Praise for Gillian McAllister ― -

I read it in a breathless day and a half. I loved every page

As tense as a piano string ― Sunday Times

An exceptional debut

An exceptional thriller with a thumping, emotional heart ― Heat

Addictive, clever, twisty ― Sun

I loved this gripping and thought-provoking read

Ingeniously constructed, with real flesh-and-blood characters and cliff-hanging suspense

Tense, compelling, with a clever grand reveal ― Daily Mail

One of the best courtroom dramas I've ever read

Kept me glued to every page ― Good Housekeeping

Gripping, cleverly-constructed, and heart-wrenching. Truly original

Intelligent. Compulsive. Heart-wrenching. Unforgettable

Brilliantly written

A thrilling mystery with a strong emotional heart ― Woman & Home

McAllister ratchets up the tension to excellent effect in this addictive page-turner ― Connaught Telegraph --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

I have been waiting 18 very long months for this book and have to start by saying that How to Disappear is one of the best books that I’ve read this year. Gillian McAllister is always a “go-to” author for me as she’s a writer who always seems to bring out hidden emotions in me. I can always find her writing seems to speak to me personally and I can always find something to relate to, making her one of a very short list of writers who’s books I will automatically order without even reading a blurb. Her books speak to me, reaching out to comfort or inspire, evoking feelings and responses to the perfectly pitched fictional scenarios. How to Disappear is a stunning book, full of carefully crafted characters and a plot that will shock you with its emotional intensity and make you think about how you would react if you were in the same awful situation as her characters. Because, believe me, the everyday decisions that we have to make are reflected back at us from this storyline and it prompts the question…”what would you do?”

I’ve always been curious about witness protection programmes and how they work, especially about whether or not anyone is ever found and how hard is it to just disappear? Would you tell the truth and testify against someone you know is a criminal if it meant that you had to leave the life you know and start again, often leaving behind those you love, never knowing when or even if you will see them again. That’s what happens to Zara and her mother Lauren after she witnessed a heinous crime. And that’s all I want to say about the plot as you need to read this with no preconceived ideas! All I will say is that this book is heartbreaking and shocking and I howled my eyes out whilst reading it.

How to Disappear is a contender for my book of 2020.

When you wonder how awful awful can be

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 4 settembre 2020

What is breath taking about this book is that despite its awful quality has gathered so many positive comments and hit the top of the charts! It's just extremely poorly written. Stylistically there is nothing attractive, it's messy with unnecessary dragging and repetitions. The problem seems to be a lack of editing. It resembles a very rushed first draft. The story itself has major plot holes and what is supposed to be suspenseful is merely predictable. The characters... again; sloppy stereotypes that feel very plastic and synthetic. I haven't read anything else of this writer the I will make sure to steer clear.

Overall enjoyable read

This story begins with a murder, or what appears to be a murder. Young, idealistic Zara witnesses two young men stab a homeless man to death, seemingly unprovoked. She is star witness for the prosecution, but the court case collapses when it is soon revealed that Zara is lying, or at the very least, exaggerating.

Because of Zara’s lies, the two young footballers have lost their careers and the club has lost a lot of money. Outrage quickly whips up and Zara finds herself the target of a vicious vendetta. Despite her identity being protected in court, she is quickly outed and targeted, so much so that the police offer her and her family witness protection.

Zara and her ditzy mum, Lauren choose to take the protection, leaving behind Aiden and Poppy, Zara’s stepdad and stepsister. Poppy can’t leave her mum, who has MS, and Aiden cannot leave Poppy. The sacrifice of having to tear apart your family and leave behind your loved ones is well shown. I do think a lot more people would have been quite a lot angrier at Zara and much less indulgent. However noble her intentions, she has caused an awful lot of trouble and I thought everyone was just a little bit too civilised and understanding.

This is the second book I have read recently with the villains as murderous footie fans; it did make a change from conniving husbands/sisters/younger women at work, but I found it a bit unrealistic in places. OK, its very easy to find someone now with social media etc, but a rabble of angry blokes just seemed to find Zara so easily, outfoxing the police and protection services at all angles. They should maybe have renounced being football hooligans and joined the secret service.

Having said that, Zara and Lauren made it very easy. I thought at times the book should have been titled “How Not to Disappear”. They whined endlessly at being banished to the Badlands outside London; having to live in rural Cumbria and needing to drive, no 24 hour shops, street lights, etc. At times it made them seem very insular, with no idea of life outside their own environment. Neither of them could keep their mouths shut or stay off social media either.

Lauren’s thing with the bath also began to really grate on me. Lauren likes cake and baths, great. The boiler didn’t work in the new place but instead of calling a plumber, like most normal people would, we have an endless monologue of why Lauren can’t get in the bath.

While Zara and Lauren are in hiding, Aiden takes it upon himself to try and infiltrate the football gang, not very convincingly, I have to say. Aiden is trying to get enough evidence before the gang close in on Lauren and Zoe, but will he manage it?

Despite the bath saga, this was a good book and an engaging read. I thought it tipped into being a family drama a bit too much at times, rather than a thriller, but I enjoyed reading it.

A good read

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 15 luglio 2020

I was slightly disappointed in this book after all the comments on the cover...but first I'll say what I liked. Read it in 5 days which is fast for me. Very good, clever plot, well thought out. Gillian Mc is brilliant at thinking up great story lines and placing her characters in impossible situations, so the reader is like 'Oh my GOD! How can they cope with that? What would I do in that situation?''
I liked the 2 girls ...very believable . BUT Lauren got on my nerves or rather the author did when she went on and on about how much Lauren missed her husband ...I was like okay, I get it...move on...There was too much of it. Also, how could Lauren and Aiden be so stupid ...Ridiculous. BUT I liked the bit in York and thought Zara was very well portrayed and Poppy too. I loved the twist at the end...clever, but poor Aiden and Poppy who had to wait for the truth in agony of soul...(don't want to say too much but all I can say is I was so disappointed in the ending at first, but then it swung round - very clever)
so, I was swithering between 3 and 4 stars for this book, because as well as parts of it being beyond credible, I hated the amount of swearing. Way too much of it and it spoiled it because I don't expect it in G.As books. But overall an enjoyable read, so 4 stars it is.

Great writing as always, but the plot didn't quite work for me this time

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 21 luglio 2020

Gillian is a great writer - I've read several of her books and she knows her craft. For this reason it feels mean to give less than 5 stars, but although the writing is just as good as usual, it's the plot and characters I liked less in this instance. I had trouble buying into the overall plot, and when the main characters then showed careless disregard for their predicament "she sent a selfie!" I mean... I just got a bit frustrated!

The group of vigilantes would certainly have known who their infiltrator was after rudimentary research, they'd even seen him in court... so that was hard to swallow. And the personality switch from 'determined and must do the right thing regardless of the consequences' to difficult and ungrateful teen in the turn of a page made no sense to me. These things were all plot devices and others won't have issue with them I'm sure, but they are the reasons I felt unable to give more stars. I even got a bit frustrated that they hadn't taken Bill with them!

It certainly won't put me off reading other books by Gillian McAllister but the story in this one didn't quite hit the spot for me.
