Linda Huber – The Runaway

The Runaway by Linda Huber is very definitely a gripping psychological thriller. So much that I couldn’t put it down once I started.

Nicola, Ed and their daughter Kelly live in London, but things are beginning to come away at the seams. Ed has lost his job while 15 year old Kelly is getting in trouble to the point that the police are involved. Ed’s mum then dies, leaving Ed the family home in St Ives, Cornwall. Nicola can think of nothing better than a fully fresh start for the family, but Ed and Kelly aren’t as keen. Ed even finds a fresh job! Kelly finds it really hard to settle in a new place, new people and even a new school. Nicola has to leave her family to go and help her dad, due to health issues in her extended family and when she get back home Kelly has disappeared. Nicola spends all her time looking for her and her marriage begins to fall apart. The perfect fresh start has fallen apart spectacularly, but the secrets have yet to be discovered….

What a rollercoaster of a book this one is, just when you think you have worked it out, Linda throws that curveball and you are left reeling!

Book Description:

Keep your secrets close to home…
Bad things happen in threes – or so it seems to Nicola. The death of her mother-in-law coincides with husband Ed losing his job and daughter Kelly getting into trouble with the police. Time to abandon their London lifestyle and start again by the sea in far-away Cornwall.
It should be the answer to everything – a new home, a new job for Ed and a smaller, more personal school for fifteen-year-old Kelly. But the teenager hates her new life, and it doesn’t take long before events spiral out of control and the second set of bad things starts for Nicola.
Some secrets can’t be buried.
Or… can they?
