The Escape Artist

By: Diane Chamberlain

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

Susanna Miller loses custody of her 11-month-old son, Tyler, but rather than turning the little boy over to her ex-husband and his new wife, she goes on the run. She dyes her hair, changes her name and escapes from Boulder, Colorado, leaving behind everyone she knows, including Linc Sebastian, the man who has been her best friend since childhood and who knows her better than anyone. Susanna lands in Annapolis, Maryland, alone, frightened, and always looking over her shoulder for someone who might recognize her. Just as she's beginning to feel safe in her new surroundings, she stumbles across information that could save the lives of many people...if she's willing to take it to the police. But going to the authorities means revealing her identity, admitting her guilt, and worst of all, losing her son.

Equal parts family drama, love story, and thriller, The Escape Artist is the poignant story of a mother's unbreakable bond with her child and the resiliency of a love that transcends distance and time.

great book!

couldn't stop listening to this book. It had mystery love and suspense. I loved the characters and the writing style

Good pace

was a good story, not Diane chamberlains Best but I liked the pace and loved the ending

Another winner

I haven’t had a disappointing Diane Chamberlain book yet. I buy the audio version due to long commute. Her books are often the same narrator, but this one was different. I found her voice very annoying and if it weren’t for the story, I would have deleted. It’s like she had a permanent sinus infection

Page Turner

Gripping and emotional, from sweet love to hate, a strong empathy for and understanding of a mother's love and the anger toward both physical and emotional abuse. Couldn't stop listening!

Enjoyed this story

I read several reviews on her bashing the narrator but I really enjoyed her. She has a soothing voice and did a great job with her characters. The characters were believable and personable. Overall this was a great listen and worth my time and money.
