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.

1,0 su 5 stelle When you wonder how awful awful can be

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.

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.

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.

4,0 su 5 stelle 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.

Do you have a favourite author? If I am ever asked for a book recommendation, I will always say 'No Further Questions by Gillian McAllister'. How To Disappear may have just knocked that off the top spot.

14 year old Zara witnesses the murder of a homeless man by a football player. In court, it comes out that she has lied slightly and the case it thrown out. The footballer's career is over due to these allegations and a vigilante group set out to find her and make her pay. Due to her age, she is known only as Girl A but it doesn't take long for them to find out her real name and where she lives.

She is threatened so must go into witness protection. She lives with a blended family; her mum Lauren, stepdad Aidan and stepsister Poppy. Poppy is a teenage carer for her mum who has MS. Aidan can't leave his daughter (who must stay to care for her mum) so Lauren and Zara have to go alone. The family is split up.

The chapters alternate between the points of view of Aidan, Lauren, Poppy and Zara and the book is in three sections; Before, After and Later.

Aidan tries to infiltrate the group that are searching for Girl A so that they don't find Lauren and Zara, claiming he's searching for them but throwong them off the scent. Poppy, Lauren and Zara all have secrets that they are hiding and you feel very worried that they are going to contradict each other and everything will backfire.

The pace is fantastic and my heart was in my mouth whilst reading. Towards the end of the After section, I felt like my heart was racing and it had me almost wanting to cry! I lost count of how many times I wanted to shout "What are you doing?!" at a number of characters.

All of the characters have so much depth to them and I liked hearing about Poppy's struggles being a teenage carer for her mum. I feel like that is something that would often be overlooked.

The epilogue was just perfect and nearly had me crying again. Bravo, Gillian!

Terrible story, one dimensional characters, repeat mentions of "sweaty backs", loads of product placement and and the twist could be seen coming a mile away.

What. A. Book.
I loved loved loved this story....such a page turner! I was absolutely sucked into Lauren and Zara's lives and raced through, needing to know what happened. I loved the characters, although some of their choices were questionnable, I think we'd all be the same. This book had so many surprises and was so cleverly written, it was too hard to put down and could easily be read in one sitting. I had so many emotions reading this, I was hooked from stary to finish. This is the best book yet and I can't wait for the next one now 😊 I am a big fan of Gillian's work and have loved all of her books so if you haven't read one yet, why not?! Stunning story, great characters and that ending 😱 I can see why so many 5 star reviews have been written - buy it when it comes out guys, you won't be disappointed ❤

Suspenseful but not very believable. I felt like the author had ‘ googled’ gangs and found a reference to person protection and burner phones! I enjoyed the characterisations at first but by the end the characters were behaving out of character for the sake of the plot. The shock twist was predictable even though the characters would have likely not actually survived such a house fire and if they had would have had months and months in an icu recovering. And to be left with only asthma after smoke inhalation again not very believable. Then after nearly being killed (and because the gang were either in prison or disbanded) they come back home and everything returns to normal even though they had died and been buried. I felt as though the author ran out of time and energy at the end and just decided on an epilogue happy ending.

Gillian McAllister just keeps getting better and better! A new book from this author is always eagerly awaited and then I like to savour it but this was so difficult with How to Disappear...I wanted to know what the outcome was going to be!

Lauren is put in an unimaginable position when she and her daughter Zara have to go into witness protection. Zara was a witness to a horrific crime and the court case is not as straight forward as it seems. They have to up roots, change their identity and leave behind their loved ones including husband Aidan and step daughter Poppy. Aidan makes the heart wrenching decision to stay at home as he can't bear to leave Poppy who is a carer for her mum. It turns out it's a lot easier to promise to cut off ties to everyone you know then actually follow through on that which leads to the threat on Zara's life increasing; there's a group dedicated to tracking her down and making her pay...

I have to say that I have never been as emotionally manipulated by a book as much as this one, after finishing I just sat there with goosebumps after being in tears moments earlier. Go buy this book!!!
