This was very different from the last two books by Tudor but it was still absolutely brilliant. The idea was so intriguing and i think it was executed brilliantly, i don't think i've read a story which handled that particular subject before. The characters were so well written and i felt for Gabe terribly as he tried to unravel the mystery of his missing daughter. There were several very interesting characters who were all well developed and i loved how they came together and their stories inter-weaved as the book reached it's excellent climax. I absolutely adored this story, C.J Tudor is an amazing writer!

This is a difficult one to review. It was a good book. But complicated and left me with a lot to figure out. The plot was good but could have been written better. I felt like I’d read this before so it was similar to something else out there but I can’t remember what

My thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. I gave this 4 stars or 8/10.

How would you cope if you watched your daughter disappear, but then everyone else presumed that both her and your wife were dead?

Gabe is a man adrift, he sees his daughter taken and follows her in the back of a car. People don't believe him and believe that he has actually killed her and his wife. Is he a victim suffering the loss of his daughter or is he more involved. Only he knows the answer.

As Gabe becomes embroiled in things. He is keen to prove that he is innocent and that he is right about his daughter. As the strands of the story are revealed slowly, we are introduced to other characters who have secrets of their own and how are they linked to Gabe and his situation?

It's not long before we find out they all have a common link 'The Other People'.

Who are The Other People and what is their significance to the lives of the characters and their families? How are they contacted and what are the implications of getting involved with them?

To answer these questions you'll have to grab a copy of the book for yourself. C.J. Tudor has a way of drawing the reader into the worlds that she weaves around her characters. Her stories are always well written and keep the reader engrossed wanting to read just one more chapter, the stories are so addictive and this is no different than the others in that way. I read the majority of the story in one day, due to the addictiveness of it.

Wow! Another gripping rollercoaster of a ride from this author. Tense, creepy and thrilling tinged with sadness, tragedy and finally closure made this a really enjoyable read.

An unusual story mixing murder mystery with a touch of supernatural. Gabe's wife and daughter are murdered but Gabe sees his daughter in a car after her death. Believing she is still alive he spends the next three years trying to find her.

There is enough happening with the main plot that the supernatural element is superfluous. The concept of 'The Other People' is unsettling as it could happen but adding the unknown turns the book into a fantasy.

I was hooked on this book from the first chapter onwards and did not want to put it down!

Gabe spends his days travelling up and down the motorway searching for his daughter, he is the only person who believes she is still alive. Fran and Alice live on the run hiding from the people who want to hurt them. The resulting story twists and turns as Gabe gets closer to the truth and secrets are revealed.

The story is cleverly written keeping you interested and wanting to know what happens next. I was pleasantly surprised as I hadn’t been a fan of Tudor’s earlier story The Chalkman. I will definitely keep an eye out for future works.

I struggled with this one, I really liked her last two books so was disappointed that I couldn't connect with this one.

This is my first CJ Tudor novel and trust me, I will ensure I read them all! To be honest I had tried to get hold of the earlier titles, particularly The Chalk Man, but for whatever reason, it just didn’t happen. I will be making amends.

This plot reveals itself like a puzzle, one piece at a time. But not just as any puzzle, but one that gets more intriguing and enthralling with each placed piece, never quite revealing what the final picture will look like until the final piece.

Throw into the mix a little bit of the ‘unexplained’ and you’re treated to a book that is an original, riveting, engrossing, and a page turner that you don’t want to put down. ‘Gripping’ almost feels like an understatement.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin UK for a review copy.

Thrilling and I could not put this down.

The plot is twisty and complex in a good way and the different perspectives keep you guessing all the way through.

This just wasn’t for me. I found it hard going, I was unable to me emerged into the story as I like to be. It’s not a bad book, just not for me.

A compelling tale of justice and revenge. It demonstrates the horrors which loom at the periphery of everyday life. It was so compelling I was unable to put down.

Thanks to NetGalley and Michael J Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.


I would deffo recommend this for those who like thrillers with a tiny essence of the supernatural. I really like Tudor's writing style and she definitely makes you keep reading past your bedtime - chapters are ended on cliffhangers, with the next chapter being from the perspective of a different character, making the novel very hard to put down!

Such a gripping book! Part thriller, part supernatural mystery, really enjoyed the this story, another great page turner from C.J.Tudor.

“We live our lives in a state of denial. A blinkered belief that we are different, special. Protected by a mystical force field that deflects all the bad stuff. Terrible things happen, of course, but they happen to other people; the ones you read about in newspapers.”

Gabe was a husband and father, till the horrors came. Now, his life in pieces, he spends his time driving up and down the motorway searching for his lost daughter, a girl everyone believes to be dead. His path occasionally crosses with those of others: service station waitress Katie, and a mysterious stranger known only as the Samaritan.

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

The Other People is a darkly gripping read with a complex and original plot. The supernatural/horror elements are perhaps a little less prominent than in Tudor’s previous work - though there are horrors aplenty and a generally sinister feel, particularly regarding the eponymous Other People. I’m not sure I entirely understood the psychic connection between two of the characters - but perhaps I don’t need to.

A genuinely compelling and memorable story.

I loved The Chalk Man ,so I was delighted to be offered The Other People to review .What a fabulous book, it draws you in from the first chapter .Part creepy thriller part supernatural never sure what is going to happen .The characters were very real ,The Samaritan was scary ,who is he ?Definitely one of those books you don't want to put down until you have finished it .Everyone seems to have secrets The Others are those that believe that justice is "an eye for an eye "! I was really pleased that all the intricate strands of the story finally came together in the ending ,Just brilliant 10 stars if I could !! Many thanks to the Publisher the Author and NetGalley for my review copy in exchange for an honest review .

Another brilliant story by C J Tudor. Where does she get her ideas from? Completely absorbing from beginning to end. So much depth to the story, Well described characters and a brilliant conclusion

Loved this! Just as good as cj Tudor’s other titles and definitely recommended reading. Hooked right to the last page.

Enjoyable enough but rather forgettable thriller with a supernatural edge. In all honesty, i suspect i’d have enjoyed it more had the supernatural elements been ramped up further; i may have forgiven some of the less convincing plot elements had they been part of a more horrific development. If you enjoyed Tudor’s previous two i’m sure you’ll enjoy this, but it’s diminishing returns for me.

I’ve enjoyed C J Tudor’s previous books, but found The Other People to be her best book to date. Thrilling, chilling and with a bit of the supernatural thrown in, this book just gets better with each turn of the page.

A fabulous five star read. Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin UK Michael Joseph and the author for the chance to review.

My thanks to Penguin UK-Michael Joseph and NetGalley for my ARC of this third book by C.J. Tudor. And for me it's the best so far. Sinister, intense and nerve-wracking and in some respects - cautionary - do not meddle with the Dark Web...

Gabe is on his way home driving along the motorway. The rusty old car in front is smothered with bumper stickers. And then, briefly, a young girl appears at the rear window, looks straight at Gabe and mouths the word "Daddy" before the car switches lanes and disappears. It was his five-year-old daughter, Izzy and he never sees her again... Three years later sees Gabe travelling the same motorway, day and night, up and down, looking for the car that took his daughter, although most people believe Izzy is dead. Katie works evenings at the motorway café where Gabe stops off. She has one of his 'missing daughter' fliers and understands his grief.

Fran and her daughter Alice drive many miles as well, running from people who want to hurt them. Fran knows the truth about what happened to Izzy and she knows who is responsible and knows what they will do if they ever catch up with her. The other people....

Gabe, Izzy, Fran, Alice, Katie seemingly unknown to each other and yet...

The Other People is another heart-pounding, pulse racing and darkly compelling tale of justice and revenge and the terror that lives on the dark side of everyday life. Difficult to put down!
