Summary and Study Guide

Overview

No Exit is a 2017 thriller novel by American author Taylor Adams. No Exit is Adams’s third book, following his 2014 debut, Eyeshot, and 2015’s Our Last Night. Following No Exit, Adams released thrillers Hairpin Bridge (2021) and The Last Word (2023). No Exit was chosen as a Book of the Month pick and was named an Amazon Editor’s Guide pick for December 2018. In 2022, the novel was adapted into a film by Hulu, which reimagined protagonist Darby Thorne as a young woman in treatment for drug misuse rather than a college student.
