The Other People, C.J. Tudor

The Other People opening lines: She sleeps. A pale girl in a white room. Machines surround her.

My blurb:

Gabe makes one wrong choice in his life that will have repercussions for him for the rest of his life. He chooses to get behind the wheel of the car, and then stays for the aftermath. He thinks that Isabella’s mother has the upper hand when it comes to revenge. But it is clear he doesn’t really understand the meaning of the word. Now his wife is dead and he is chasing a car. The one he last saw his daughter Izzy, in.

The Other People

She sleeps, a pale girl in a white room . . .

Driving home one night, stuck behind a rusty old car, Gabe sees a little girl’s face appear in the rear window.

She mouths one word: ‘Daddy.’

It’s his five-year-old daughter, Izzy.

He never sees her again.

Three years later, Gabe spends his days and nights travelling up and down the motorway, searching for the car that took his daughter, refusing to give up hope, even though most people believe that Izzy is dead.

Fran and her daughter, Alice, also put in a lot of miles on the motorway. Not searching. But running. Trying to keep one step ahead of the people who want to hurt them.

Because Fran knows the truth. She knows what really happened to Gabe’s daughter. She knows who is responsible. And she knows what they will do if they ever catch up with her and Alice . . .

My verdict:

WOW! C.J. Tudor is an author that to me holds an exciting future. I found this book to be well written with a storyline that is totally believable. Somewhere out there Strangers On A Train might really exists. A real page turner in my opinion.
