Publisher's Summary

From bestselling author Ruth Kelly, The Escape is an electrifying thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Sarah Pearse.

THE PERFECT OFFER

When struggling influencer couple Adele and Jack post a crowdfunding video online, they’re amazed when a mysterious benefactor offers to buy them a crumbling French chateau. It’s the lifeline they need to leave all their troubles behind.

THE PERFECT DREAM

For Adele, it’s a dream come true. She will post videos of the renovation as thousands of online subscribers follow their journey. But the chateau is not all it seems and the local community is far from welcoming.

THE PERFECT NIGHTMARE

Then Adele’s videos suddenly stop. Her sister Erin visits to make sure she’s OK but the couple have vanished. Between the obsession of Adele’s fans and the claustrophobic secrecy of the nearby town, Erin must unravel the shocking truth behind the couple’s disappearance . . .

Read by a full cast, including Daphne Kouma, Meg Travers, Ayesha Antoine and Olivia Vinall, alongside Kristin Atherton, Olivia Darnley and Jon-Paul Rowden.

Critic Reviews

Dark, immersive, and tantalisingly atmospheric, The Escape is wholly absorbing and completely addictive (Andrea Mara, Sunday Times bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing)

A beautifully paced and darkly twisted thriller. It’s like being in a deliciously crafted nightmare (Katy Brent, author of How To Kill Men and Get Away With It)

Dark, chilling, atmospheric and page-turning, The Escape is this winter’s ‘The Hunting Party’. Ruth has her finger on the (racing) pulse of contemporary thrillers, and has delivered yet another winner that reflects the zeitgeist of our somewhat twisted social media-driven age (Veronica Henry)
