Again changed my mind, and even though twist was a little obvious, it was a good read.

I agree! I enjoyed this book. It would also fit into the multiple POV category.

read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King Read it all today. Couldn't put it down.

No Man's Land by David Baldacci.
Completion Post:Just finished reading: "Escape from the Land of Snows: The Young Dalai Lama's Harrowing Flight to Freedom and the Making of a Spiritual Hero" written by Stephan Talty (★★★★☆), it is a biography of Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, and his amazing escape from Tibet to India against the forces of China.
Talty has collected eye-witness accounts from the Dalai Lama's mother and brothers, rebels and refugees, members of the CIA's Tibetan Task Force, and former prisoners of the Chinese and cumulate them in a wonderful account that describes the Dalai Lama’s escape in 1959, which irrevocably altered the future of Tibet.
The Girl She Used to Be- David Cristofano Fictional story of a young woman who’s spent most of her life in the Witness Protection Program, running from the mob, her past, and ultimately herself.
I am reading an old book published decades ago - Uncommon Danger by Eric Ambler, in which a journalist is on the run after becoming caught up in a murder and the theft of political information.
I used a more figurative "on the run". As the MC was avoiding things at home when she decided to do an art grant at the South Pole. Interesting read with various themes entwined in the story
