Wow!

I am forever saying I have read this authors best book but then the next book comes along and I say it again…

This though is a mind blowing cleverly crafted at times dark thriller that looks at the relatively new phenomenon of ‘Digital Nomads’ and in this case how it can be used for bad

We meet Tom and Maddie who are holidaying in Croatia and Maddie meets Alex and a friendship blossoms, Alex explains re her and her partner Ed’s ‘Digital Nomading ’ lifestyle and Maddie is sold on the idea….maybe more sold than sense should allow, things that sound perfect very rarely are

Then we are flung into a who is guilty/ who is innocent page turner that really had me flummoxed as to who was doing what and why and who was being honest, it was full on and up until the last chapter was not completely sure

Really imaginative writing and a new twist on things, very enjoyable read that kept me on my toes throughout

The Getaway by Rona Halsall,, Maddie is on holiday with her partner Dan who she’s been with for years but she’s eating breakfast alone when she meets a woman named Alex. is Alex explained to Maddie that her and her partner Ed or digital nomads and have lived all over the world Maddie can’t help but to admit she too has recently thought of doing this. Later on when Alex tells Maddie they must leave Croatia to tend to her mom who found out she has cancer but would love to offer Maddie and Dan their sublet Maddie couldn’t be more excited although Dan is hesitant. Maddie convinces dan, it’s a great idea after all it’s free and they would lose nothing by staying I mean what could go wrong? it turns out lots of things could go wrong before Maddie even leaves Croatia while Alex and Ed are making their selves at home in her London flat she learns Alex already new Tom but why is she doing this and who is Ed? All those questions are answered by the end of the book and OMG what an awesome thrill ride this was. I received the book this afternoon and I opened it just to peruse the beginning pages and found myself not stopping until the book was over it is that freaking good. this book was so good I just sent my husband out to get takeout because I was not stopping to start cooking. This was an awesome awesome read I love this authors books and have read many of them and I must say it seems they just get better and better. once you open this book make certain you have time to read because it is so good and Maddie is such a great person to root for something I look for and all books and she was definitely the one. There’s so much more I want to say as I always do in a review but don’t want to give any plot points away because it was so so good! A book I absolutely definitely 100% recommend to any thriller fan if you like books by Frida McFadden, the you will definitely love this one. #NetGalley, #BoldWoodBooks,#TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview, #RonaHalsall, #TheGetaway,
