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 . An ID Book Club Selection - "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.

This is a book of many strands - a young girl in a coma, a woman and girl on the run, a man haunted by his past and the murder of his family, as well as his conviction that his daughter is alive as he saw her being driven away on the day of the attack. The author intertwines them all quite cleverly, although some of the 'coincidences' do rather stretch belief. Less believable are the supernatural elements of the tale, which really are, in my opinion, unnecessary and detracting from the suspense building in the story.
Overall I enjoyed it, wanted to find out what happened next and empathised with the characters which are presented in a rounded manner. The tension builds well, and just when the reader feels overwhelmed by the various strands, they begin to pull together.
Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin UK and Michael Joseph for allowing me access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
