How to Disappear by Gillian McAllister

4.0

(Audiobook version) Nicola Walker is as wonderful to listen to as she is to watch on screen and stage. Such an incredibly sensitive and nuanced performance, making each line uttered so full of humanity, without getting in the way of the twists and turns of the plot of this well written thriller. McAllister writes really believable characters, and it's impressive how well she inhabits both young and adult voices, finding their individual tone. The story did get a little bit long winded and slightly unbalanced between the points of view. I assume it has this dramaturgy in order to obscure what is going on in one of the storylines - but unfortunately the reveal and the twist at the end did not come as a complete surprise for me. Still an entertaining, and often moving, listen.
