An unputdownable adventure that was both heartwarming and thrilling! Everything I've come to expect from Gillian McAllister! -- FREIDA MCFADDEN
Gillian McAllister has done it again! This is such a clever, tense and twisty book, I inhaled it in under a day. The pacing is perfection and the twist, when it comes, is deeply satisfying, but it is the characters that elevate Gillian's books into the best of the best, -- LISA JEWELL
A taut, heart-in-mouth action thriller. With Gillian McAllister’s trademark beautiful writing, not only is Caller Unknown a wonderfully atmospheric and twisty read, it’s also a powerful ode to motherhood. I couldn’t put it down. Absolutely superb -- CLAIRE DOUGLAS
