“Enjoyed the plot, but the romantic line was a bit Mills and Boon in places!”

Yes | No“Battle-scarred Mary Grace Winters lies nearly dead in a hospital room after the latest brutal beating at the hands of his sadistic cop husband. After a two year recovery (which she keeps husband Rob in the dark about), she and her son escape, fake their deaths, and start new lives away from her abusive husband, and the corrupt police force that looked the other way. This is an edge of your seat thriller. You can probably guess what will happen, but the development of the plot is so well drawn that it is not your average battered wife in jeopardy story. ”

But Mary Grace Winters knew the only way to save herself and her child from her abusive cop husband was to stage their own death. Now all that remains of their former life is at the bottom of a lake. Armed with a new identity in a new town, she and her son have found refuge hundreds of miles away. As Caroline Stewart, she has almost forgotten the nightmare she left behind nine years ago. She is even taking a chance on love with Max Hunter, a man with wounds of his own. But her past is about to collide with the present when her husband uncovers her trail and threatens her hard-won peace. Step by step, he's closing in on her- and everything and everyone she loves”

3 Star
When her abusive husband nearly kills her and threatens to finish the job Mary Grace Winters knows she must get herself and her son away from him, as he is local police man she can expect no help from the authorities she is on her own.
Mary Grace and Robbie disappear.
7 years later her abandoned car is found the police open an investigation into her disappearance this time with a view to getting enough evidence to convict her husband of murder.
Rob Winters meanwhile realises that his wife had managed to escape him and make a fool of him he is determined to find her and make her pay.
Its a raise against time as to who will find Mary Grace and Robbie first.
A tense thriller that is fast paced with lots of violence.”
“This was a good, quick read. I like the author's writing style. She wrote her characters well and the story flowed nicely. I wouldn't mind reading more by her.”

It did get a bit boring somewhere in the middle but all in all it was a pretty good read. The way the murders are committed and the way her husband closes in on her is very well written.”
