    About this audiobook

    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.

      A few years ago, Gabe Forman’s wife, Jenny, and their 5-year-old daughter, Izzy, were killed in their home, but Gabe is thoroughly convinced that Izzy is still alive, he begins traveling England in a camper van which is now his home, in an endless search for clues to his daughter might be. That of course is no way to live, but Gabe, is a mere shadow of his former self, seeing this as penance. During the attack on his family three years ago, Gabe wasn’t home. He was on the road, where he insists, he caught a glimpse of Izzy in an old car. His father-in-law identified the bodies, but Gabe’s sighting of Izzy that day, and a few other things, has convinced him that she’s still alive. He was a suspect for a while, but he was cleared and couldn’t convince the police of what he saw. A tip on Izzy from a mysterious man who calls himself the "Samaritan" leads to a submerged car, a dead body, and an underground network that calls itself "The Other People". Its website that is only accessible via the dark web, and it offers a very exclusive service for victims of crime who feel robbed of the justice they feel they deserve, but the group's help isn't free, and it comes at a terrible price. Meanwhile, a woman, Fran, is on the run with a little girl called Alice, who has terrifying visions of a girl on an eerie beach. Noone knows who the girl is or what is she trying to tell Alice. The narrative is saturated in menace, and the action, once it starts, barely lets up. Gabe’s urgency becomes almost electric as he gets closer to finding out the truth about that horrible day that he lost his family and changed his very life. The author skillfully weaves in poignant observations on the nature of justice and the overpowering essence of grief. While the supernatural storyline is certainly creepy, it could have used a bit more, but it was still a fantastic read. Thos eof us that like Dean Koontz's books will enjoy this sinister and unsettling offering.

      Gabe is on his way home, when a face suddenly appears in the rear window of the beaten-up old car in front of him. It’s his daughter Izzy’s face! But it can’t be, she’s at home with her mum Jenny. Gabe is tired and thinks he must be seeing things, but a terrible shock awaits him - his wife and daughter have been murdered in their own home, and the police won’t allow him in. Sadly, he’s too distressed to attend a formal identification later, (his father- in-law has to do it) so in his mind Izzy is still alive - he knows he saw her in that car. There are many peripheral characters he discovers during his search, and all are well developed. It is a chilling premise that does require some suspension of disbelief along the way. Fortunately, the supernatural element is minor.
    • 4/5
      First, let me say I like C.J.Tudor’s work and I found the opening of this book gripping. Can’t say I would call it horror unless I count human nature as being horrific. I’ve seen this referenced to Stephen King’s work, but it made me think of Dean Koontz. This is a suspense novel. A thriller. And I found it immensely enjoyable. The whole concept of a father seeing his daughter in the back of a strange car, which he tries to follow and loses track of, is a solid opening. It’s a fabulous book if one overlooks a likely plot hole; namely the incompetency of the police and the simple matter of DNA evidence. This book may have worked if set in another era where forensics weren’t so advanced, and there are also a few supernatural elements that aren’t fully explained… at least not to my satisfaction. In short, a superb book let down by a plot implausibility, which I struggle to believe no one — writer, editor, publisher — spotted. Saying all that, I still enjoyed it enough to suspend disbelief, mainly because of the suspense and will read more by this author.
    • 3/5
      3 stars is being generous. I loved The Chalk Man, but this book was a problem for page one.
      For the first hundred pages all I knew was Gabe was searching for his missing daughter and Fran and Alice were on the run.
      The second hundred pages tries to fill in who is who and how everyone is related.
      The rest of the book ties up all the lose ends with a big bright and definitely predictable bow, throws in a lesson on White privilege and teaches us the importance of racism.
      This book was 150 pages too long and the weakness of the storytelling proved it.
      I hope the authors other books are more like The Chalk Man and less like this boring drivel.
    • 4/5
      Gabe is driving home to his wife and daughter when, in the truck just ahead with offensive bumper stickers in the window, the driver driving badly, up pops the head of a little blonde girl in the back – Gabe’s daughter Izzy! How is that possible? Gabe chases for a few minutes, but the truck gets away and when Gabe calls home, a police officer picks up.

      Three years later, and Gabe hasn’t stopped looking for Izzy, though the police are convinced Izzy is dead. Katie is a waitress where Gabe often comes in, so they recognize each other, and Katie has held onto a missing flyer passed on to her by Gabe. Fran and little girl Alice are running from something. All three storylines do gradually come together with, of course, a few twists and turns along the way.

      I really liked this. The beginning pulled me in right away and I wanted to know what happened. Gabe himself has some secrets we learn about along the way, as well. A really enjoyable book (for me) in what is my current favourite genre.
    • 5/5
      Innocent (and less than innocent) people get caught up in an intricate revenge plot in C.J. Tudor's strikingly dramatic and twisty thriller The Other People.
      The action starts immediately and the suspense is almost unbearable at times. The supernatural aspect was only a minor player and yet somehow it was the perfect finishing touch, adding as much flavor to the story as a delicious drizzle of hot fudge over ice cream making it even more satisfying.
      Did Gabe really see his daughter being stolen away in the back of a junk car at the precise time the police are in his home viewing her dead body? The "what ifs" are driving him crazy and the grief is so profound he can barely function anymore. Who could possibly want to kill his wife and daughter and where was Gabe really coming home from when he saw is little girl in that speeding car?
      I have loved all 3 of this author's books but she has really outdone herself this time.

      I received an advance copy for review.
    • 4/5
      Harlan Coben meets Stephen King in this twisty suspense novel with a soupçon of the supernatural, as a man who lost his wife and daughter in a brutal, senseless crime is certain he saw the child in a strange car – hours after the murders.

      His insistence that he saw her and his refusal to believe she is dead propels him on a years-long search for the truth, which is buried in a web of secrets, lies, and an underground web of “other people” carrying out their own brand of justice.

      Tudor loses a few points for over-reliance on coincidence, even as the plot depends on unseen connections between the “other people” and their victims, and the supernatural connection seems to come out of nowhere with little purpose except to allow certain people to know things they have no other way of knowing.

      Quibbles aside, this is a page-turner that is pretty well un-put-downable.

      Gabe Foreman is certain his five-year-old daughter, Izzy, is alive. He insists he saw her in the rear window of a car driving along the M1 motorway.

      The police are positive he is wrong. Two people lie dead in Gabe’s home; someone murdered his wife, Jenny, and his daughter, Izzy.

      Three years later, Gabe is a prisoner of the motorway, driving from service center to service center, hoping to find the car that carried his child away. And, although the answers he seeks are elusive, Gabe clings to his unfaltering belief that Izzy is alive.

      Why would someone murder his wife and take Gabe’s daughter? Will the desperate father find the answers?

      Will he ever see Izzy again?

      =========

      “The Other People” is a dark and disturbing tale that touches on family, loss, and grief, weaving them into a tale of secrets, obsession, justice, and revenge. It is a story of both consequences and indefatigable hope.

      Alternating points of view slowly reveal backstories and explain mysterious behaviors; the plot takes several unexpected twists designed to keep readers guessing.

      There are many strong components in the story, primarily, Gabe’s refusal to believe that his daughter is dead. His behavior may seem excessive, but it is definitely in keeping with what a parent might do in this situation.

      The creepiness inspired by the dark web Other People group gives the book an apprehensive undertone that keeps the suspense building. But, between the massive amounts of coincidence and the supernatural scenes, there’s a great deal of reader suspension of disbelief necessary in order for the story to “work.”

      The supernatural aspect of the story would be so much stronger and seamlessly fit within the telling of the tale IF there had been some judicious explanations and IF there had been a weaving of those elements into the larger story. As presented, they simply feel tangential and peripheral.

      Unfortunately, several substantial issues in the unfolding narrative are sure to be concerning for readers. First, there’s the seemingly-legitimatized “eye for an eye” revenge system put into play by the dark web Other People group. Who are these people and how do they have so much power over others? Readers are sure to be disappointed to discover that this organization and its people remain mostly unrevealed and the questions unresolved despite the fact that the epilogue seems to entitle them to continue their revenge-seeking ways. [And how is it that so many people know about this dark web group, anyway?]

      Even if readers accept the revenge organization as presented in the story, the targeting of Gabe and his family remains questionable. The hardly-adequate explanation offered within the telling of the tale does not mesh with the “equal revenge” concept espoused by the dark web group.

      Perhaps the most concerning of all, however, comes close to the end of the story in a discussion between Gabe and The Samaritan in which the crimes discussed by the two men are far from “equal” [if, indeed, any two crimes can in any way be considered “equal”]. The tired, stereotypical excuses offered here for the way in which events played out in each instance serve only to incite divisiveness and discord. And that is consummately disappointing.
    • 4/5
      I've only read two C.J. Tudor books so far. Before this one, I read The Chalk Man a year or so ago, and now I read this one. Even after only two books, I already expect that C.J. Tudor will do the unexpected and make the impossible seem real. This story is almost dreamlike in its telling. It starts with a young girl lying motionless in a bed while an unmanned piano begins playing, and breeze whispers in a room where the windows and door are closed. Then we jump to quite a few years later and we have a man trying desperately to get home to his wife and five year old daughter. The man sees what he believes is his daughter looking out the back window of a beat-up old car. He thinks at first he's seeing things and still continues to hurry home when he discovers that the unthinkable has happened. He is told that his wife and daughter have been killed. How can that be when he just saw his daughter in the back of a car he was following? From then on Gabe is on an endless mission to find his daughter, even though everyone says she is dead. Through his search he runs into a lot of different people - some who are helpful and caring, and others who are dangerous and deadly. With the help of a female police officer, a young waitress with two children, and a stranger who calls himself the Samaritan, and after three years of endless searching, Gabe begins to put the pieces together that were shattered the night of the murders in his house. Because of Gabe's endless driving in a camper van and because of the people who appear out of the shadows with further clues about Gabe's daughter, this book is very dreamlike and other-worldly. It is all held together by a forever-sleeping girl in the big house by the sea. This book doesn't quite have the punch that The Chalk Man had, but it is certainly a story that grabbed me and held onto me right through to the end. and it made me think about acts and consequences and the debts we have to pay as humans, especially if we break the rules.
    • 5/5
      This was a fun, creepy and scary tale of what happens when we want an eye for an eye when something bad happens to us. Gabe is not home when his wife and daughter are murdered. However, was his daughter murdered? He thinks not since he saw her after the event so he devotes his life to searching for her. On the way he meets several people who prove instrumental in his search, some good, some not so good. There are so many twists and so many coincidences in this story that I simply could not stop reading. C.J. Tudor has become one of my favorite authors because of these incredible and frightening tales!
    • 4/5
      This was a good suspenseful thriller with some supernatural elements to it. With its short chapters and fast pace, it was hard to put down. I did feel that the buildup was better than the actual resolution but it was still a fun read. The main character is likable as well.
    • 5/5
      I had such a great time with this book! After loving this author's previous work, I was pretty excited to give this book a try. When I started reading this book, I hoped that this would be a story that would really capture my attention and it was. I was completely swept away by this story and found myself trying to figure out what was really happening to these characters even when I wasn't reading the book. I enjoyed this page-turner of a story from the first page until the last.

      On his way home one night, Gabe sees a car covered in bumper stickers weaving in and out of traffic in front of him. It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if he hadn't seen the face of a little girl sitting in the backseat of the car. He knew that face because it belonged to his daughter. Years later, he cannot let it go and spends his time driving up and down the same roads looking for either the car or his little girl.

      This is one of those stories where it is better to go in knowing little about the story and letting things unfold as you work your way through the book. There are tons of twists and turns during this story and sometimes a new detail would have me questioning everything I had previously thought. We see this story from several different points of view that become more connected as the book progressed. There were times that I had no idea where the story was going but I wanted so much to see Gabe find his Izzy that I couldn't put the book down.

      I would highly recommend this book to others. I thought that this was a wonderfully crafted and quite complex story filled with interesting characters. This book kept me guessing until the very end and I liked the fact that there was just a bit of supernatural worked in as well. I cannot wait to read more from this very talented author!

      I received a review copy of this book from Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine Books.
    • 4/5
      3.5 Who are the other people? Gabe desperately needs to know the answer. Although the police are convinced his five year old daughter is dead, Gabe knows she is not. He saw her in the back of a car. His wife, yes, heartbreakingly so, but he will spend all the time he can searching for his daughter.

      Revenge, obsession, how it can change a man, change people. As he searches he encounters those that want to help, as well as those who want to obfuscate. Why though would some close to him lie? A creepy atmosphere permeates this story. Strange occurrences and outwordly events help keep the reader from any kind of accurate guesswork.

      For me, not as good as his first, but definitely worth the read. Tudor writes some strange, yet compelling thrillers, mysteries. The ending left me feeling there might be more to this story, an open door possibly to a revisit of this scenario, characters. Just a guess.

      ARC from Netgalley
    • 5/5
      I have been a big fan of C.J. Tudor since the release of her debut novel, The Chalk Man. Her third novel, The Other People, is another fantastic read!

      How's this for an opener - you're trying to get home on a rainy night. The car ahead of you is slow moving, rusty and sports some questionable bumper stickers. But the last thing you'd expect to see is your daughter's face in the back window, mouthing the word 'Daddy.' This is what happens to Gabe. The car, with his daughter inside, eludes him. He finally arrives home at last - only to find his wife has been murdered. And now, for the last three years, he's driven up and down the highway searching for that car, a clue, a memory - anything.

      Uh huh, you're hooked right? I was! Putting an 'everyday' person into an untenable situation is one of my favourite scenarios. The possibilities are endless with an opener such as this. And C.J. Tudor has come up with some crackerjack plotlines. Each new entry led down another rabbit hole - the dark web, a mysterious man who also drives the highways, calling himself the Samaritan, a rest stop waitress who knows more than she lets on, a girl in a coma and... The Other People.

      The story unfolds from numerous viewpoints and flips from past to present. I expected to be able to piece together what the end outcome might be, but was happily unable to. We all love a good twist at the end right? Well, Tudor provides more than one! She's blended a great mystery/thriller with a touch of supernatural and it makes for addictive reading.

      I can't wait for book number four! There's also a nice blurb from Stephen King on the cover..."If you like my stuff, you'll love this."
    • 4/5
      The story in C.J. Tudor’s newest thriller centers on Gabe, a man who seems to be on an endless quest for his daughter, Izzy, who was supposedly murdered along with Gabe’s wife. Tudor successfully weaves Gabe’s story with those of Fran (who is looking after a young girl called Alice), Katie (a waitress in a coffee shop) and a comatose young girl, sprinkles a bit of the supernatural (a chilling group know as The Other People), and provides enough twists and turns to create a very readable thriller. A definite page-turner!

      Tudor’s characters are all interesting and realistic, and they each seem to be fueled by genuine emotion. The plot line — albeit somewhat complicated, especially in the beginning third of the novel — is cleverly thought out and ties together quite well in the end. All in all, I found this to be another great read from Tudor, and I look forward to reading her next book. Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy of this book.
    • 5/5
      Wow! This is a heart-stopping thriller that will send readers on quite an adventure. It captured my attention from the first sentence and throughout the story, I was kept guessing as to what would happen next.

      Just imagine that while driving home, you see your own child in the back of a strangers car! This is what happens to Gabe. He follows the car, but loses it in traffic and pulls over to call home. That’s when he finds out that something horrific has happened and his life takes a drastic turn.

      The police believe that his wife and daughter were murdered, but Gabe knows his daughter is alive and spends his days driving the highways in search of the car that took her away. One day, he gets a tip that leads to evidence that backs up his belief that his daughter is alive.

      As the story unfolds, readers learn that Gabe experienced a traumatic event as a teenager that changes his life’s path. The same happens to some of the other characters as well. Add in a sinister group from the dark web and it makes for a harrowing and exciting thriller.

      I would have never expected how this story would turn out. Hats off to CJ Tudor for her vivid imagination and wonderful storytelling.

      Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for allowing me to read an advance copy and give my honest review.
    • 2/5
      Thanks, Goodreads Firstreads, for my complimentary review copy.

      Your child going missing is bad enough. But, for Gabe it was even worse. His daughter Izzy was being taken right in front of him. And, he had no way of catching up to her. Then, she was gone. He told himself he was being ridiculous, seeing things. His daughter was home, of course. He would call home and confirm. He called...and a detective answered.

      That was three years ago. Now the service stations he used to hate are familiar. They are home. He drives up and down the motorway, hoping to see the jalopy in which his daughter disappeared. The not knowing is excruciating. You think nothing can be worse. Even death would be better.

      Then, finally, the search is over...for the car. It is found. Abandoned. In the water. With a body inside.

      Perspectives alternate with the chapters, a style I prefer because it gives a thorough sense of the
      characters. Although only primary characters were featured, I still found it difficult to keep track of who was who.

      I was so excited when I won this book because I had heard good things about this and her previous two novels(both of which I still want to read). But, it fell short of my expectations. The blurb was intriguing, but the execution could have been better. It was unnecessarily complex. And then there was the implausible supernatural bit. Only near the end were plot points clarified.

      4.5 stars!!

      I'm not going to talk about the plot. If you're here, you should have read the synopsis. Anything more would be spoiling this heart-wrenching book.

      What I WILL say is if you like thrillers or mysteries or if this is your first time diving into the genre, you will love this. I didn't figure out any of the twists, which is a huge plus with any mystery. I laughed a few times and gasped a lot. It's damn near perfect.

      Thanks to Netgalley for letting me experience this gem!

      This book kept me engaged, kept me guessing.

      I can only tell you how it made me feel, and not all of that, as it would give too much away. I will tell you that I related strongly to some of the characters, and felt their sadness. I also felt their hope, even when hope should have been gone. But we humans, for the most part, are resilient, and this book presents a stunning picture of that resilience.

      There are good people in the world, and you will meet your share of them in this book. There are bad people as well, and this book does not lack in that area.

      I guessed wrong on nearly every situation and I consider that to be a good thing. The writer knows how to keep you guessing. I enjoyed the characters, the story line, and the writing. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

      Thank you to NetGalley.com and the publisher for my copy.

      CJ Tudor. What can I say???? Easily in my top three favorite authors!! So imagine how happy I was to read this. I have said this before and I will say it again. Her writing has a casualness and effortlessness that immediately makes me want to find a comfy, quiet spot to settle in and read start to finish without a pause. I instantly feel at home with the characters and am always pulled right into the story. And boy was this story a twisty one. Through the entire read I was questioning who all the characters really were. Who was lying? Who was manipulating? Who didn't have a clue? Who was telling the truth? It's all there for you to figure out as you work your way through this really great story. Very much a mystery, part thriller and part supernatural it's a definite page turner and, in my opinion, a third win for this author. If you have loved this author's previous books, I'm pretty sure you will love this one also. If you haven't read this author yet, this would be a really great place to start. So grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an advanced copy. My opinion is my own.
