Quite the thrill ride. I enjoyed the book immensely. I would compare to Harlan Coben. ( )

This book hooked me right from the beginning. If you're looking for something to keep you up at night, this would be an excellent choice. Full review: http://www.canadianauthors.net/b/barc... ( )

An intense and gripping tale with a marvellous plot that is intriguing. I wanted to know what had happened to her family and bits of information are drip fed at a pace to keep you interested. For me it was spoilt a little by the unnecessary complications to the plot that made it less believable. A Dan Brown type of novel, very cinematic and fast moving.

An exceptional thriller. Barclay writes about events that could possibly happen, which makes you want to read it even more. What if you woke up after a huge disagreement with your family and they were gone, just disappeared? After twenty-five years later, you are married and still trying to cope with what had happened in your past. Why? Alive? Murdered? Then, all these "strange" things happen, which lead you to think you just might just be a little crazy... I have to say it was really hard to put this book down. Thumbs up! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 055380555X, Hardcover)

The house was deathly quiet. That was the first sign that something was terribly wrong. Fourteen-year-old Cynthia Bigge woke that morning to find herself alone. Her family—mother, father, and brother—had vanished without a word, without a note, without a trace. Twenty-five years later, Cynthia is still looking for answers. Now she is about to learn the devastating truth.

From critically acclaimed author Linwood Barclay comes a new suspense thriller that strikes to the core of our most primal fear. What if you woke one day to find your entire life had changed? If everyone you loved had disappeared overnight without so much as a chance to ask why?

Cynthia and Terry Archer still live in Milford, Connecticut, not far from the old Bigge house on Hickory Street. With a solid marriage and a young daughter, the Archers seem on track for a successful future. But the questions raised by Cynthia’s past still haunt her, and her obsession to find the answers threatens to destroy everything they’ve worked for. For Cynthia, there can be no closure until she finds out why her family disappeared—and how they could have left her behind.

Terry thinks the segment on the popular TV crime-stopper program Deadline is a mistake. But his wife hopes that someone watching will have a lead to her missing family. Sure enough, it’s Cynthia who spots the strange car cruising the neighborhood, hears the untraceable phone calls, and discovers the ominous “gifts.” And as Cynthia’s nerves begin to unravel, no one’s innocence is guaranteed, not even her own. By the time the first body is found, it’s clear that her past is more of a mystery than she ever imagined—or may ever survive.

Someone has returned to this Connecticut town to finish what was started twenty-five years ago. And by the time Terry and Cynthia discover the killer’s shocking identity, it will be too late even for goodbye.
