Run

De: Matthew Becker

Narrado por: Derek Austin

What do you do when the past catches up to you?

'I LOVE YOU. I JUST NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT.'

When Congressional staffer Ben Walsh receives this cryptic text from his wife he initially doesn’t think much of it.

But while waiting to hear from her again, Ben discovers that the text came an hour before a shooting that occurred along her daily running route. Veronica won’t pick up her phone, and when she doesn’t return home, he knows she is somehow involved.

If she isn’t one of the victims, then where is she, and what did she know?

While Ben searches for his wife, he stumbles upon another violent death, with clear connections to the shooting. The police name Veronica as their main suspect, and when more evidence suggesting his wife’s involvement appears, even Ben has to reconsider what he knows about her.

Unbeknownst to Ben, a killer from Veronica’s past stalks his family, with his own reasons for wanting to find her. What Ben does know is his best chance at saving Veronica, and keeping her out of prison, is finding her and the truth before the police—or this killer—do. But what if the truth is even more deadly than he could imagine?

RUN is a psychological thriller full of twists and turns that questions if you can ever outrun your past. From the mind of debut author Matthew Becker, find the truth behind a string of murders in a novel perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Alex Finlay, and Isabella Maldonado.

How well do you know your spouse?

How well do you know your spouse?

Ben Walsh is just an average Washington D.C. congressional staffer, working day in and day out for congresswoman Chamique Moore. Not often disturbed by his wife while working, a cryptic “I love you” text from Veronica catches him off guard. Unable to reach her as he tries off and on, all day, he’s anxious to return home. Yet, when she’s not there he becomes ever aware of the news story reporting a local shooting, that happens to be directly on Veronica’s daily running route.

Ben’s best friend, up and coming presidential candidate Jeremy Wiles, as well as his in-laws, provide needed support as he searches for his missing wife, and maintains a sense of routine for his young twins. As the story continues to unfold, Veronica’s past slowly surfaces, leading us to question how much we really know about our significant others. In this riveting political thriller, author Matthew Becker ensnares readers as we waver between loyalty and deception.

“Run” is a high stakes chase for a missing wife and killer, as Becker plays to the dichotomy of whether these are one in the same, or two different people at large. As the developing story unravels readers are taken into the mind of various characters as their paths slowly converge.

Buckle up as Becker leads us down a trail of political uncertainty and muddy pasts, as we race to the finish line. Leaving just enough breadcrumbs, “Run” is a shocking thrill ride, enjoyable to the very last pages.

Should Be Adapted for a Movie

Just fabulous! I kept guessing at how I thought this might end but was still on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out.

not bad, but uninspired.

The book was okay, the narrator wasn't bad, but a lack of character voice range made every woman sound almost the same, and every man similar. It might have taken away from the story, which waited till the very end for any sort of real twist. I feel kind of bad, since I don't normally leave such subpar reviews, but I probably would have enjoyed the book more if I would have just read it instead of the audiobook.
