Relevant and full of suspense
The book opens with an unexpected key to solving an abduction that happened two years ago. As is typical of Mark Edwards, this story involves twisting subplots and numerous characters. I recommend keeping paper and pen handy to keep track of the characters. In this book, Mark weaves current world issues with suspense and surprises that will keep you guessing to the end. There is no doubt in my mind that Markās fans will be pestering him for a prequel or a sequel to this book.

Not so typical Mark Edwards
I loved this book. It was worth the wait. Since the pandemic started I have been reading so much more. I am immunocompromised, (vaccinated and boosted) but still wary of going outside. Anyway I digress. I am so glad I have found all these unique authors. I'm a true Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Peter Straub fan but luckily I have broadened my horizons. I loved the direction this book went. It wasn't what I was expecting and that's not a bad thing. I love the fact that he maybe, maybe left the door open for a continuing story line at the end with two of the best characters. Let us hope so :) I highly recommend this Mark Edward's book. You won't be disappointed.

Mark Takes A Different Direction
Mark Edwards is one of my favorite authors. In my opinion, he is a master of the psychological thriller genre. In his latest book, he has taken a different direction, and has tackled current real life issues involving the environment. The plot and characters kept me engaged throughout and I believe the ending left a possibility of a sequel down the road.While I still prefer the horror, creepy storytelling, I applaud Mark for stepping out of his comfort zone with a story that will be thoroughly enjoyed by his existing fans as well as attracting many new fans.Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of No Place To Run.

Excellent story telling with many twists and turns.
What an exciting thrill ride this book was. Highly clever and intriguing plot. Jaw dropping moments, twist and turns, and just when you thought you had it figured out, the author hit you with another scenario. Well written characters and excellent story telling kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.My review is voluntary and all comments and opinions expressed aremy own.

loved it
I really enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. It was a very different type of story than any other Mark Edwards book that I have read. It had action, drama and suspense all rolled into one. It was a hit Netflix movie just waiting to be made. What started out as a missing person plot line twists and turns into so much more and it was crazy! The ending blew my mind!

You will devour this book!
Mark Edwards fansā¦. You will devour this book! Mark has done it again with another wild ride of a novel featuring some intense characters with a side of plot twists. Aidan is looking for his sister who disappeared. He meets Lana on his journey whom is also looking for their lost sibling. Lies uncoil as they dive deeper into their search.A woman on a train sees Aidanās missing sister and encourages him to go on the journey to the location she saw the girl. As the story continues it does not go the way you think. I never thought that this novel would push the limits of what my imagination would see and prove that there are worse things in the world than my first instincts.This book is not for the faint of heart, you have to be open minded to the possibility youāre going to read something that you really do not want to. It does not go into grave details, but there are moments where I had to stop reading and take a breath knowing that the horrors of the world are being mentioned. Your worst nightmares come true and Iām not talking about the boogeyman, unfortunately.Mark Edwards continues to be one of my favorite authors for his bravery to try something new and different. Each story he tells has me on the edge of my seat never wanting to put the book down until I have completed it.Thank you again Mark Edwards and NetGalley for the opportunity to have the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.I will definitely be buying this book to add to my collection.

Absolutely phenomenal book!!!
From the second I started to listen, I haven't put it down. Bringing to light a few things from cult like leaders to climate change, this made reference to where I was born and grew up, including naming the Merryhill centre where I spent many happy weekends perusing shops as a young girl. I have read most of Mark,s books and I have to say that this has become one of my absolute favourites!!! I'm sure he has many more books to write, and I dare say I shall be waiting with baited breath for them to be released. Well done Mr Edwards, another classic š

Cracking mis-per thriller
Aidan is the son who can do no wrong in his parentsā eyes. That is until his sister disappeared visiting him stateside, not that they openly blamed him but it must have been a black mark on his impeccable record. So when a chance sighting of his sibling comes to light, he is compelled to follow the breadcrumbs to find her. And these breadcrumbs take him to something more horrifying than a house made of gingerbread, cake, and candy but definitely something sinister at the centre of it all.As I got deeper and deeper into this missing person mystery, I discovered a very dark world that Edwards had created. A world that in all honesty, I could imagine existing in the States but hoped was just what Iād seen in films. A world where in a small town pull the shutters down to the outsiders and donāt like troublemakers or questions. This community ā just š±š±š± they really are something!No Place To Run is a cracking thriller that kept me captivated, but I didnāt get the hebbie jeebie head-f*** feeling that I got from some of his previous novels. For me this was a slight sidestep away from Edwardsās usual psych-thriller book. That said, I really enjoyed my trip to Northern California. It was a long way from the sunny beaches of Baywatch or the glamour of Beverly Hills which is what I imagine when I think California! I felt like I was in a remote part of the US, transported to a small town cut off by woodland and farms. If you like an intense fast-paced thriller thatāll keep you guessing, No Place To Run will tick all the boxes. I would never have predicted what was going to happen and the full story of Scarlettās disappearance.

Gripping and unputdownable!
Aiden's 15 year old sister Scarlett visits him in Seattle....and suddenly vanishes!Other teenagers have also disappeared.Are the locals hiding something?This was utterly compulsive reading from start to finish, a rollercoaster of a ride and a satisfying ending - who knows what will happen next.Read in less than 2 days...just one more chapter!

An email that changed everything
What would you do if you thought you recognised someone that was missing? Would you trust your gut that it was them and reach out? Or would you doubt yourself and say nothing? This book takes you on an emotional roller coaster. Twists and turns, highs and lows. A thrilling page turner that will keep you reading in one sitting to see how it all ends. Another great book from Mark.

Disappointing
I'm a huge fan of Mark Edwards - and always pre-order his books. This was so different to his other books which I've always found to be real page turners that hook you in from the first page. I also didn't like the americanisms (faucet instead of tap etc). Struggled to finish it and hope the next one is up to the usual standard, sorry Mark!
