You Can Run

Written by L C George

About / Blurb:

Rachel thought she’d escaped her father. But now he’s found her.

Rachel was barely more than an infant when her father, Dennis, murdered her mother and sister. In prison ever since, Dennis has never said one word about why he killed two family members - or why he spared Rachel.

Now a grown woman, Rachel has done everything she can to leave her terrible past behind. She has changed her identity and is now happily married to the love of her life, Dan.

But there is a dark cloud on the horizon.

Dennis is due to be released from prison and Rachel worries that he will kill again, that he may even come after her. And sure enough, a series of murders begins around the time of his release.

Rachel is terrified, convinced that her father is stalking her, certain she will be his next victim. Even worse, Dan thinks she is being paranoid and won’t do anything to protect her.

Isolated, vulnerable, Rachel spends her days in an agony of terror and suspense. But as bad as this is, the truth is even worse. Because Rachel only has part of the picture, and what she is actually facing is far more horrifying than even her wildest nightmares…

My Review:

I found this book quite easy to get into, which was good, & although it was mainly a detective-like plot; much like a ‘whodunnit’, throughout, it was refreshing that it read from start to finish as a gripping Psychological Thriller style plot, focusing around the main character, Rachel, and those who were closest to her, - her police officer husband, her recently released convicted murderer of a father, & her four close friends, - rather than unfolding as a detective-led Crime Thriller plot. I felt that the way in which this was written conveyed mystery from the very beginning, & throughout, & it also brought into question just ‘whom’ Rachel could really trust, & just how well she believed she knew those closest to her. NO SPOILERS! - I really don’t want to give anything away in terms of its plot, but all I will say is that this book kept me guessing, right through to the very end, - so there are some delicious twists along the way!

I liked its overall pace, & its consistency throughout, & how it kept me completely drawn into it; wanting to keep reading to discover what would happen next. I would describe this as such a compelling read, from the very beginning, which kept me guessing, right through to the very end!

Based on a rating of 1-10, where 10 is the highest, I would give this book a rating of 8 out of 10. If a gripping Psychological Thriller which will keep you guessing, is your thing, then THIS is a read which I would highly recommend!
