The Escape Summary

The Escape: An Addictive and Heart-Racing Thriller Set in a Luxurious French Country House by Ruth Kelly

'Dark, chilling, atmospheric and page-turning, The Escape is this winter's 'The Hunting Party' Veronica Henry

From bestselling author Ruth Kelly, The Escape is an electrifying thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Sarah Pearse.

THE PERFECT OFFER

When struggling influencer couple Adele and Jack post a crowdfunding video online, they're amazed when a mysterious benefactor offers to buy them a crumbling French chateau. It's the lifeline they need to leave all their troubles behind.

THE PERFECT DREAM

For Adele, it's a dream come true. She will post videos of the renovation as thousands of online subscribers follow their journey. But the chateau is not all it seems and the local community is far from welcoming.

THE PERFECT NIGHTMARE

Then Adele's videos suddenly stop. Her sister Erin visits to make sure she's OK but the couple have vanished. Between the obsession of Adele's fans and the claustrophobic secrecy of the nearby town, Erin must unravel the shocking truth behind the couple's disappearance . . .

The Escape Reviews

Dark, immersive, and tantalisingly atmospheric, The Escape is wholly absorbing and completely addictive -- Andrea Mara, Sunday Times bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing
A beautifully paced and darkly twisted thriller. It's like being in a deliciously crafted nightmare -- Katy Brent, author of How To Kill Men and Get Away With It

I was gripped by the unravelling of the dark secrets in The Escape -- Louise Jensen, bestselling author of The Date
A deliciously dark look at the world of influencers set against the backdrop of a glamorous French chateau - tense and shocking -- Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet
Devastatingly dark, I couldn't stop turning the pages -- Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party
A chilling tale of a lost sister and a mystery benefactor overflowing with tension ramped up through gorgeous, atmospheric writing and epic twists. The perfect read for dark, cosy nights Loved it -- Lucy Baker, author of The Other Side of Mrs Wood
A slick, dark and chilling thriller, the tension dripped off the pages until the shocking reveal. I was on tenterhooks all the way! -- A.A. Chaudhuri
A deliciously addictive thriller that will hook you in like the best - and scariest - reality TV show you've ever seen -- T. M. Logan, author of The Holiday and The Mother, on The Villa

About Ruth Kelly

Ruth Kelly is a journalist who has ghosted a string of Sunday Times top ten bestsellers - most recently The Prison Doctor, which sold over 250,000 copies, and The Governor, which went straight in at number one on the Amazon charts and number five in the Sunday Times bestseller list.

The Escape is Ruth's follow up to The Villa and features a dream home in a holiday destination that turns deadly. It's also a cautionary tale exploring the darker side of social media. Holiday destinations feature heavily in Ruth's thriller writing having spent most of her life traveling and exploring the world. Her family relocated to Papua New Guinea when she was seven-years-old and the travel bug hasn't let up since.

The simmering threat of what lies beneath the surface, the dichotomy of how paradise can also be hell fascinates Ruth. Making a destination a character in its own right - both a friend and an enemy, not someone to be trusted - is a thread explored throughout her writing.
