The deliciously creepy Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Chalk Man.

Driving home one night, Gabe sees the face of a little girl he knows in the rear window of the car in front.

She mouths one word - 'Daddy'. It's his five-year old daughter, Izzy.

He never sees her again.

The police believe she's dead. But three years later, Gabe still drives the roads, searching for the car that took Izzy, never giving up hope . . .

Meanwhile Fran and her daughter, Alice, aren't searching - but running.

Always one step ahead of the people who want to hurt them.

Because Fran knows the truth about Gabe's daughter.

And she knows what the people chasing her will do if they ever catch them . . .

Critic reviews

C. J. Tudor is terrific. I can't wait to see what she does next
C. J. Tudor has done it again. A mesmerizingly chilling and atmospheric page-turner
Utterly magnificent. Such a beautifully weaved and satisfyingly complex tale, with just the right level of spookiness
Chilling and utterly gripping. Loved the twists and the well-drawn everyday details. A fantastic new book from the Queen of Creepy
The Other People is a creepy, intense novel that drew me right in and never let go. C. J. Tudor's books keep getting better and better, and this one won't let you stop reading until the very last page!
Hugely enjoyable and deliciously creepy. I was hooked from its gripping opening, all the way through its many twists and turns. Ostensibly about a man searching for his missing daughter, it's a tale about loss, where nothing is quite as it seems; and, although you may think you've got it worked out, C. J. Tudor is always several steps ahead. A brilliant storyteller.
Her books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found anymore. Compelling and haunting
An intense novel that gets right to the heart of what it means to love and to grieve. Intriguing, dramatic and heart-breaking
A father's desperate search for his vanished daughter provides the beating heart of this complex thriller, which is suffused with loss, longing and vengeance. Touches of the supernatural bring an extra dimension to the spine-tingling thrills
A darkly compelling tale of justice, revenge and the darkness lurking at the edges of everyday life - with an utterly propulsive plot that makes it very, very hard to put down
All stars

This is just unbelievably believable, which makes is very scary, the other people are like the old school free masons digitised and moved to the very present in real life dark web.

great stuff

This book is as creepy as expected, made more so by the truly excellent quality of the performances by Richard Armitage and two other actors. The Other People is both believable and fantastic. I was hooked from the first words. Even better is the addition of three short stories at the end as a bonus. I am finding it uncharacteristically difficult to sleep now!

Good story and loved all the characters. Worth a credit. Defo recommend. A bit different to other thrillers out there which is a good thing.

Good Story

My second Tudor novel and I just wish more of her books were on audible. Armitage is the perfect narrator and the hero of our story is utterly believable in his hands. Gabes daughter and estranged wife have been murdered and he was not there to protect them. He was on his way home, when yet another traffic jam forced him to divert - and he saw (or did he) his daughter peering out from the rear of the car in front of him. She mouthed 'Daddy'! He gave chase, lost them and finally made it home to find that when he saw her, she was already dead. But how could she have been dead when he knows she had been in that car. He saw her and he is going to find her again. The answers are rooted in a past gradually revealed and a mysterious organisation 'The Other People' become either his ally or his worst enemy. Just who are they, why has he been invited to join them and what part might they have played in his daughter's murder - or her disappearance? He is determined to find the answers and so was I. Fabulous plot and a great way to spend 10 hours of my life. Enjoy!!

A really good read (or listen)

Brilliantly written, this book is too gripping for words! Thank goodness I had a long car journey where I could really listen to this fantastic, winding and chilling tale! If you want to lose yourself for 10 hours, listen to The Other People

Too gripping for words!
