No Time for Goodbye: A Thriller

by Linwood Barclay

Fourteen-year-old Cynthia Bigge woke one morning to discover that her entire family–mother, father,brother–had vanished. No note, no trace, no return. Ever.  Now, twenty-five years later, she’ll learn the devastating truth. 

Sometimes it’s better not to know. . . .

Cynthia is happily married with a young daughter, a new family. But the story of her old family isn’t over. A strange car in the neighborhood, untraceable phone calls, ominous “gifts”–someone has returned to her hometown to finish what was started twenty-five years ago. And no one’s innocence is guaranteed, not even her own. By the time Cynthia discovers her killer’s shocking identity, it will again be too late . . . even for goodbye.

Reviews

[Eve1972]

This novel seemed to have a lot of mixed reviews, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but overall I found it to be a pretty decent read! It kept my interest with a lot of good twists and turns and an ending that I never saw coming, and in all honesty, seemed to be a bit of a stretch, but I still found it entertaining overall! This was my first time reading anything by this author, and I was impressed enough to check out his other novels!
