A novel like razor-wire...Part chase thriller, part psychological suspense...wholly ingenious. * AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window * Gripping....This action-packed story will keep readers riveted. * Publishers Weekly * A nerve-shredding book. Jessica Barry is shockingly perceptive in her portrayal of every day threats to everyday women, every day. * Rosamund Lupton * Hair-raising. * New York Times * Barry's electric, perfectly paced tale reads like the gritty lovechild of Thelma and Louise and Spielberg's Duel, and readers will cheer for Cait and Rebecca all the way to the end of the road. An action-packed and fiercely feminist big-screen-ready chiller. * Kirkus Reviews * A grab-you-by-the-throat novel of suspense that follows the trail of two women pushed to the extreme. Don't Turn Around is the female-driven thriller you've been waiting for. * Danielle Trussoni, New York Times bestselling author of Angelology * 'Barry follows Freefall (2019) with a second propulsive psychological thriller, this time featuring two female characters who find themselves fighting for survival on a terrifying drive through the New Mexican desert. . . .. Barry delivers hold-your-breath tension, while also addressing highly controversial and relevant women's issues' * Booklist * Don't Turn Around is exciting and polished -- Paul Connolly * Metro * A powerful story about trust and betrayal, with a strong feminist message, this vivid thriller is an absolute thrill-ride -- Deirdre O'Brien * Sunday Mirror * Belt up for a fast-paced thrill ride -- Deirdre O'Brien * Best *More details
