I wasn’t sure what to expect, all I knew was what I read in the book description, ‘A man travels up and down the motorway, searching for a car that took his young daughter Izzy’, which meant I had no expectations for this book. It’s not often these days I read a book in “one sitting” but that’s what happened with The Other People by C.J. And she knows what they will do if they ever catch up with her and Alice. She knows what really happened to Gabe’s daughter. Trying to keep one step ahead of the people who want to hurt them.īecause Fran knows the truth. 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.įran and her daughter, Alice, also put in a lot of miles on the motorway. ĭriving home one night, stuck behind a rusty old car, Gabe sees a little girl’s face appear in the rear window. I picked it up meaning to read a couple of chapters, but then I read another one, and then another one, and I was hooked!

She is an avid reader across a wide range of genres and a watcher of far too many TV series and movies, although it can be argued that there is no such thing as “too many.” These, of course, are best enjoyed with a decent cup of tea and further the continuing argument that the concept of “spare time” is really just a myth.
