QueenOfDenmark Similar writing styles, told from the point of view of the female victims rather than from a 'law enforcement' point of view, both books are gripping, surprising and very, very good. Any fan of Nicci French should give new writer Jane Hill a try.
QueenOfDenmark Fans of Sophie Hannah would be well recommended to try Can't Let Go by Jane Hill and I am sure most would compare Hill's book favourably and in many cases think it the better book even. Similar styles of writing but Hill has mastered in one book what sometimes eludes Hannah.

I think I should probably give up on thrillers.
Oooooh, something bad is going to happen. Oh, no. It's ok, not yet.
Right, something bad is going to happen now! No, that's alright, nothing bad this time.
This time though something bad really is happening... Oooops no, not actually that bad.
Repeat for forty-odd chapters.
I may be shortchanging the book, and it did have some decent writing and some good characters. I had no trouble in believing in the characters. I just never believed anything was actually going to happen to the central character.
If you don't see the twist coming then it might be a surprise - I don't usually mind seeing the twist from a hundred pages away but this time I did as I didn't think the book had much else to show more offer.
So yes, it's probably just that I should give up on thrillers. show less

'Vergeet nooit dat ik je in de gaten houd. Ik weet altijd waar je bent.'
Als Beth Stephens, een 35-jarige alleenstaande lerares, het eerste briefje leest, is ze doodsbang. Iemand, een persoon die haar lijkt te volgen bij elke stap die ze neemt, is achter haar verschrikkelijke geheim gekomen en dreigt met wraak.
Al zeventien jaar houdt ze het verborgen en leeft ze met een leugen. Ze is op zichzelf, bemoeit zich niet te veel met anderen en contacten houdt ze af.
Nu ze dacht dat ze eindelijk veilig was, nu ze een vaste baan had, wat vrienden maakte en zelfs verliefdheid toeliet in haar leven, juist nu komt iemand achter haar aan. Maar wie is dat dan?
Opeens kan ze niemand meer vertrouwen, ziet ze overal gevaar. Ze beseft dat zij haar belager show more moet vinden voordat hij haar te pakken krijgt... show less
