No Way Out: A Gripping Novel of Suspense
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, a standalone novel that blends her rich, character-driven storytelling with a hint of suspense, as a reclusive young woman struggles to piece her life back together . . .
Ellie Bowman barely remembers the incident that put her into a coma. When she awoke, filled with unease, all she knew for certain was that her boyfriend, Rick, was missing. She knew she needed to get away from her old life and recover in safety. With the proceeds of a video game she helped develop, Ellie starts over in rural Missouri, working from her cottage and trusting no one.
Yet even in this quiet small town, it's impossible to completely isolate herself. Especially when a curious eight-year-old boy, smitten with Ellie's pup, stops by every day to talk to him over the fence. Little by little, Ellie is being drawn back into the world through the neighbors and community around her, realizing that everyone has their own fears and obstacles to contend with.
But when Ellie hears that Rick has resurfaced, her nightmares return, and with them, small snippets of memory. No one has heard from Rick since before the incident, so why now? Ellie wants to move forward with her life, but first she must find the courage to look into her past, no matter what she finds there . . .

There was no point in the story and the ending was horrible, was a waste to read . definitely skip this one

I have read all of Marie’s books and this one is the best. Ellie is so strong and intelligent, Jackson is a typical 8 year old boy. The story about domestic violence and it’s possible outcome is truly the best.

Loved the book, but I’m a Fern Michael’s follower. This book was very different. Small neighborhood, friendly families, all close, very supportive to each other and some have secrets. I enjoyed the book on several levels. I’m basically a nosey person so reading about the lives of 4 or 5 neighbors was fun for me. The suspense was different for all and kept me fully entertained.
