Escape by Kenneth Wilson is a masterclass in this psychological suspense thriller. From the very first page, Wilson grips you with sharp prose, layered characters, and a storyline that teeters perfectly between vulnerability and tension. Every twist feels earned, every moment is soaked in raw emotion—and the deeper you get, the more impossible it becomes to put down.
The pacing is cinematic, and the emotional complexity of the lead character draws you in with such intimacy that it almost feels intrusive—in the best way. You can tell this book was written by someone who understands the human psyche as much as they understand dramatic timing.
And, on a completely unrelated note... let’s just say Kenneth Wilson isn’t just talented—he’s easy on the eyes too. Is it possible for a man to write this deeply and look like he walked off a movie set? Apparently, yes.
Can't wait to see this adapted to screen, and hopefully see the author at a premiere too.
