Book Overview
A gripping thriller about a man's quest for the daughter no one else believes is still alive, from the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man and The Hiding Place. "C. J. Tudor is terrific. I can't wait to see what she does next." --Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author Q: Why are you called the Other People?
A: We are people just like you. People to whom terrible things have happened. We've found solace not in forgiveness or forgetting. But in helping each other find justice. Driving home one night, stuck behind a rusty old car, Gabe sees a little girl's face appear in its rear window. She mouths one word: Daddy. It's his five-year-old daughter, Izzy. He never sees her again. Three years later, Gabe spends his days and nights traveling up and down the highway, searching for the car that took his daughter, refusing to give up hope, even though most people believe she's dead. When the car that he saw escape with his little girl is found abandoned with a body inside, Gabe must confront not just the day Izzy disappeared but the painful events from his past now dredged to the surface. Q: What sort of justice?
A: That depends on the individual. But our ethos is a punishment that fits the crime. Fran and her daughter, Alice, also put in a lot of miles on the road. Not searching. Running. Because Fran knows what really happened to Gabe's daughter. She knows who is responsible. And she knows what they will do if they ever catch up to her and Alice. Q: Can I request to have someone killed?
A: If your Request is acceptable, and unless there are exceptional circumstances, we fulfill all Requests.

Creative Plot Twist!
Published by Louise , 3 years ago
Truly enjoyed the twists in this book. Starts well, and mysteries and tensions build as characters and motives revealed. Can be compared somewhat to the author Catherine Steadman in plot intricacies. (Also a creative author!) Recommended for those who like somewhat quirky, engaging plots, and endings that aren't quite the end.
