This is the first book I’ve read by C J Tudor, and if I’d known that she could write such a disturbing, haunting thriller that would follow me around all day, I would have wised up and read her previous books!

Gabe drives up and down a motorway for three years, looking for his daughter. His supposedly dead daughter. Except on the day that she died, he saw her in the back of a car on the motorway. When he got home, it was to find out that his wife and daughter had been murdered in a botched burglary. But Gabe saw his daughter in the back of that car...

Two other stories become intertwined with Gabe’s: Katie, a woman who works in a coffee shop on the motorway, a single mother struggling to support her two children. She sees Gabe regularly and knows his story. She knows something of how he feels, because her father was murdered in another, unconnected, botched burglary nine years before. And then there’s Fran and Alice. A mother and her child, permanently on the run, knowing that if the people who are chasing them actually catch them, they will be dead. Quite how these people are connected is at first a mystery.

And then there’s the girl that Alice sees in the mirror, and the Other People...

Boy this was creepy. I LOVED how creepy it was. And there’s an underlying menace throughout the book. This is precisely my kind of book - and it’s well worth a read!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for my copy of this book to read and review.

The Greatest Showman
I loved this film, I was nearly put off by some of the reviews I had read but I'm so glad I decided to make my own mind up about it. Did I say I loved it, well I did, it was great, at one point in the film I wanted to get up and clap the only thing that stopped me is my daughter and grand-daughter would have killed me.
I will watch this film again and again and it is now one of my favourite films. A real feel good film with some deep underlying messages too.

Although I've enjoyed most of this book, I don't like the chapters on the 7 "daughter of Eve". I read this as a scientific interest, not for a person's image on what the lives of these 7 daughter were. I could have conjured that up myself. Since I started reading this, the title also bothered me. If mitochondrial DNA came from the mother then all daughters of the first woman, Eve, would have the same mitochondrial DNA - a poorly thought out title. Enough negativity, the rest of the book was thoroughly enjoyable. I know very little about the evolution of humans, considering my palaeontological background, and I found this enlightening and interesting. I do recommend this to anyone that is interested in the the evolution of humans, especially on a molecular scale.
