What an amazing storyline. Very interesting topic that if you thought too hard could be quite disturbing. Loved the way it flitted seamlessly across at 24year period. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it certainly makes you think about ‘big brother’ watching you.

I loved the description of this book and it didn’t disappoint! Told by Adam present day and the Adam of 24 years ago, this story was well written, credible and extremely gripping. Whilst the end was slightly implausible, all loose ends were tied up well, with a nice little twist. I’d recommend this as a solid 4.5 stars and will check out other books by this author.

UK 8s one of the most camered places in the world with our every movement being picked up. How would you feel 8f you suspected that the cameras were deliberately targeting you with the footage being used for nefarious purposes. This is the underlying tone to this excellent thriller. Well worth reading.

A compelling and gripping book. Adam was a very believable character, and the idea of him being out of his depth socially at Cambridge certainly rings true. I found Louis the weakest character as he is such a caricature. Although the plot was clever, it was just a little too far-fetched, but enjoyable nonetheless.

No Place to Hide is a novel which just keeps giving. It starts off fairly simply with a parent's worst nightmare, a missing child. That is quickly resolved when an old flame of Dr Adam Pound (the child's father) brings his son back to him. Coincidence? He hasn't seen her for over two decades, so what would you think? But the son's account of the event doesn't tally with Clio's (his old flame). So starts a slide from the perfect nuclear family to one of impending breakup and scandal. But it gets worse, so much worse. because Adam Pound made a Faustian pact 24 years ago and now it's time to pay up! If you can handle exponential acceleration then this is the novel for you. I loved it and give it a deserved 5 star review.

This is a classy novel that uses the skeleton of the Dr Faustus story as its central theme. Its central character, Adam, was an aspiring actor at Cambridge University in his student days in the late 1990s, where he played Faustus on stage. Now, 24 years later, he is a successful medic, married with two children.

But 24 years is a significant period in Dr Faustus. It is the period of time for which Faustus exchanges his soul. And, as in Dr Faustus, Adam has been granted 24 years before he is drawn back to the people and events of 1998.

The novel has a dual narrative: one first person narrative set in Cambridge in 1998 and the other third person narrative set in South London in the present. The story centres on what happened in Cambridge in 1998. Adam’s relationships with Clio and Louis, fellow students at Cambridge, are at the heart of the story. As they are revealed in the first person narrative, we see the impact of these people on Adam in the present.

Cameras haunt the novel from its opening page. Adam is frightened of what they can do and his history with being filmed is revealed in the first half of the book. The implications of those cameras emerge in the second half as modern technology draws the reader into the possibilities of the dark web. As the pace escalates, Adam (like Faustus) is fighting to save his soul.

The locations are superbly evoked, especially Cambridge and the memories of a childhood in west Cornwall. The novel has a truly memorable ending in a beautiful location A super twist explains the identity and motivation of Adam’s antagonist to fully deliver the satisfying click as the story comes full circle.

No Place to Hide is a worthy successor to The Man on Hackpen Hill.

I have just received No Place to Hide by J.S. Munroe. I am a new member and this was my first book. Can't say how grateful I am as this was such a great read. The plot was exciting and chillingly sort of believable. The pace was good going between the past and present (maybe hopefully the near future). I found the characters believable in and the whole story was well told and a little different. This of course is only my opinion but I do read a lot and I really enjoyed it. Also good grammar and no typo's I could notice All in all an enjoyable read.

This was a very satisfying thriller. Well written and with good characterisation. I did find it a bit slow in places, but overall very enjoyable.

On the whole a good thriller. I dropped a star because it took a while to get going.
I liked the main character Adam and the way the story kept jumping back to the past.
It worked well. Enjoyable story.

This novel is about a man who is successful on the outside but suffers from a fear of surveillance inside. Is he just paranoid? The reader will have to find out for themselves. I am not saying any more about the plot, for fear of spoiling the novel. A good read, and an intriguing tale and I would recommend it as such. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

There really is no place to hide in this twisty dark intense tale which will have you reading quickly to find out just what lies at the heart of the story,well written and tense throughout

I thought this book cleverly explored the impact of mental health difficulties. The ending was perhaps a little predictable but perhaps it is getting harder to write a truly shockig twist.

Thanks to NetGalley and Aria & Aries for allowing me to read this ARC in advance of the pub date. This book based on the synopsis was going to be one of my favorite reads but it did not work out that way for me. It was just crazy right from the start. I do not want to spoil it at all for anyone but so many part seemed so unrealistic as well as so unbelievable. I do not know how to review this book without spoiling it but right from the start, I was rolling my eyes. It is not bad but you have to suspend belief a great deal.

There were some interesting themes in this book of our modern era of being watched/filmed/the dangers on the dark web. The main character is being called into account for things that happened 24 yrs before. The storyline was original but I found it hard to believe in any of the people in the book, their characters were not relly fleshed out in a way that worked for me. So mixed feelings about this one 3.5

This was menacing. I enjoyed this story and it was a strong sense of boding, but there was something off about it that didn't make it a favorite of mine.

A fantastic thriller I thoroughly enjoyed myself and could not stop reading, Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with such an enjoyable reading experience.

This was a really creepy book witb lots of secrets and twists. I enjoyed the alternate timelines and really looked forward to reading it. Brilliant book x

An interesting thriller where the main character, pediatrician Adam Pound, leads a seemingly successful, happy life but becomes increasingly paranoid that he is being surveilled and monitored due to a pact he made following an incident at a university party 24 years earlier. Is he just being paranoid? What exactly happened in the past, and what is going on now? I enjoyed this.

No place to hide kept me guessing until the very end,there were so many plot twists that made this book such an amazing read.Highly recommend.

I usually love a good JS Monroe thriller, but from the beginning there was something a bit off with this storyline for me. I found the theatre show the storyline refers to "Doctor Faustus" and it's old English language wasn't something I could read and follow very easily, it threw me off the storyline for the first few chapters and then I came to get used to it throughout the story.... I know it had meaning and was what the underlying storyline was about but it just wasn't for me and wasn't something I was used to with JS Monroe's writing style. There were bits of this thriller that did have me a little captured on, the main character quite likable and everyone else not so much. I did find in places the storyline dragging and not really going anywhere, where the pace of the storyline was slow, I also found this again in the final few chapters, alot of it could have been written out and scrapped altogether.
For me this was dissapointing and the final few thriller moments weren't all that shocking or surprising come the end.

I found this was a bit more different from the usual JS Monroe thriller novels and this was to be quite a dissapointment for me on this occasion.
