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?
“…21-year-old Nicole, Molly’s older daughter, receives a tip from a woman who claims she saw Molly the day she disappeared getting into a stranger’s pickup truck. Despite the strained relationship between Nicole and Molly since Annie’s death, Nicole decides to investigate. When she learns of another woman who vanished from Hastings, she tries to determine whether the two disappearances are connected. Chapters from Molly’s perspective that reveal her present whereabouts heighten the tension. 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
“Narrator Therese Plummer does a fine job keeping this psychological suspense real. Molly Clarke, who is involved in a family tragedy, is in a lot of pain. As her husband and children pull away from her, Plummer captures Molly’s self-doubt, hurt, and guilt. During a terrible storm, Molly leaves her car and walks away from it all. Or could her disappearance be foul play? Plummer is terrific at shaping characters. A girl named Alice is central to the book. Plummer’s performance reflects Alice’s age, immaturity, and caution. She is good with other characters as well. This audiobook is entertaining, though some may find it a little predictable. Plummer is a definite plus.”…AudioFile
