The Man Who Didn't Call - UK title or Ghosted - US title -has published in 35 languages. I still can't believe it! A cleverly plotted romantic thriller filled with scandalous twists and turns and a juicy central mystery, Ghosted proves impossible to put down. . . Deliciously addictive, surprising and sentimental, Ghosted is a must-read for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes.” I’m sure you’re very nice, and if it helps, I don’t think you’re mad, and neither does he, but. . .stop” – Martin (Eddie’s friend) Tender and immensely moving, its tightly-woven plot keeps you guessing right until its breathless end . . . Depicts the thrill of romantic love so beautifully that it made my spine tingle -- Catherine Isaac, author of You Me Everything The premise is interesting enough, but what follows is a long and mostly pointless story that is equal parts boring and odd. When Eddie disappears, Sarah is certain that he loves her and would never ignore her unless something bad has happened. But instead of going to the police or just stopping by his place, she online stalks him and badgers his friends. But when she's close to an answer, she runs away instead.I do apologise if I come across as vague, but I feel Ghosted is one of those novels that slots nicely into a ‘do not discuss’ category, due to the nature of the plot and the twists that occur. But what I will stress is this is a book that delivers. Ghosted is a fine domestic based family drama. It is also an everlasting love story that puts a great big spotlight on the role of fate in our lives, as well as our ability to forgive and forget.

But that’s where the charming romance ends. On day seven, Eddie disappears without a trace, and when Sarah does eventually find out what happened to him, her life is turned upside down. Eddie could not be further from the man she thought him to be. Some books are entertaining, some books are affecting and some, like this one, creep under your skin, travel through your veins and settle in your heart . . . I could write about the mystery at the heart of this book and the many brilliant twists that I didn't see coming (VERY rare) but what will stay with me, and the reason I cried when I finished this book, is the absolutely stunning way Rosie Walsh writes about love, forgiveness and redemption. There is so much truth and heart in this book . . . I absolutely loved it -- Cally Taylor, author of The Fear

Sarah & Eddie meet, spend a week together & fall deeply in love. Maybe my romantic heart has hardened with age but the fact that this thirty-something year old woman became OBSESSED with Eddie after 7 days just didn't seem romantic to me. It felt unstable. All her frantic, unanswered attempts to reach out to Eddie crossed a line in my mind. She appeared desperate, unbalanced and stalkerish. Rosie Walsh explores something deeper here and it really isn’t a love story but a story hidden deep within the relationship of Sarah and Eddie. She explores something common but not something often talked about or something we were aware of before reading this story as well as exploring pain, loss and family drama and dynamics, which at times does feel a bit too dramatic. Incredibly crafted, huge depth, amazing characters and beautiful prose. I loved it -- Cesca Major, author of The Last Night and The Silent Hours
