Don't Look for Me

A Novel

By: Wendy Walker

Narrated by: Thérèse Plummer

In Wendy Walker's thrilling novel Don't Look for Me, the greatest risk isn’t running away. It’s running out of time.

One night, Molly Clarke walked away from her life.

She doesn't want to be found.

Or at least, that's the story.

The car abandoned miles from home.

The note found at a nearby hotel.

The shattered family that couldn’t be put back together.

They called it a “walk away.” It happens all the time. Women disappear, desperate to leave their lives behind and start over. But is that what really happened to Molly Clarke?

Don't Look for Me is:

“Exemplary. Distinctive, well-developed characters complement the skillfully paced plot. This moving look at the bond between a mother and her children reinforces Walker’s place at the top of the genre.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“Gripping...with unexpected twists.... You’ve got a cracking mystery on your hands.” (Adrian McKinty, author of The Chain)

“A nailbiter.... So much more than a twisty thriller. It’s heartbreaking portrait of a family coping with grief and an insightful study of guilt and blame, gaslighting and agency. If you love fast-paced page-turners with relatable, flawed characters, look no further!" (Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek)

"Sharp, nuanced, utterly real, and absolutely terrifying, this beautifully written and emotionally powerful novel is Walker at her best!" (Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh King's Daughter)

"Unsettling in the very best way and truly riveting." (Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife)

"A pulse-pounding, thrill ride of a novel with heart." (Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told)

"A master class in psychological suspense." (Cristina Alger, author of Girls Like Us)

Good start, bad ending

This book really had me from the start. I honestly couldn’t put it down. It had really great potential, and the pace of the book was great. I was really excited for a mind blowing ending but was disappointed. The ending was definitely a cop out and could’ve gone in a better direction. It seemed like the author wanted to shock the reader so much that she didn’t really care if the ending seemed abrupt and out of left field. Overall, super good book, just a somewhat disappointing ending.

Meh

The narrator is absolutely terrible. He pauses and inflections and voices and emotions are just terrible. Especially all the “dramatic” pauses are not well placed. Seriously this narrator is the worst.
The story is ok, amateur. A bit all over. Could have been thought out a bit better and then made better. And if the narrator was better it could have overshadowed the errors in the writing. Rather the narrator made it so much worse.

Suspension in every chapter

Well written, enjoyed every chapter, it was hard to put down. The author had me at times laughing or saying things out loud, like...she'll never go for that... so I was feeling very involved in this book. Well done!

Kept me guessing throughout

Good book overall. Kept my interest throughout and the reader did a good job. I would recommend it.

Just couldn't really get into it

The story was okay. Slow to start and the main character was whiny. She was a little too self pitying for my taste.

amazing performance 👏

such a great story, although the twist at the end I didn't really like nor understand. the motive didn't seem to entirely make sense...but the story itself and the narration was superb! I don't regret having listened to it :)

it was okay

I couldn't get into it because it felt repetitive and I felt bored listening to it.

Fantastic!!

I loved how interwoven this story was. I was shocked by the reveal. It was good!

Lifetime Movie

I almost stopped listening to it a couple of times. I feel like I just listened to a lifetime movie vs. watching one. The narrator was good. If you have time to kill and extra credits to spend - go for it.

Don't miss this book!

The best thriller/crime book I've read since Gone Girl. definitely stick with it as the first few chapters were a bit intense.
