Not recommended
Not at all interesting! The new age thrillers are more like watching a bad suspense thriller on TV... with no logic or common sense applied!

超お薦めのミステリ-。寝る間も惜しんで一気読み!
英語を全部理解しなくても読見進められる。超面白い。最後までどうなるか解らなくて、ハラハラ。

what a fantastic book
I was recommended this book and to be honest I wasn’t sure if it was my kind of book but I downloaded it and started to read it on Wednesday evening. I haven’t been able to put it down since and have just finished reading it . It was brilliant . I just couldn’t work out what had happened and when I thought maybe I knew what would happen next it just changed . So many twists and turns . Right up to the final pages it kept me guessing and I just had to finish the book as soon as possible . I needed to know what happened . I highly recommend reading this book . I loved it

Edge of your Seat read. Smart, sassy and suspenseful
When Cynthia Bigge awoke one morning in 1983, her house was eerily silent. There was no sounds coming from her mother, Patricia, who should be preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Not a beep from her father, Clayton or her brother Todd in the entire house. When she left the house for school, both her parents cars were gone. Twenty-five years later, she still had no idea what happened or where her entire family had disappeared. Her mother's sister Tess took on the task of raising, teenage Cynthia, and after all those years, the police were still dumbfounded as to what happened to her family. It was not a surprise that twenty-five years later, Cynthia was still insecure about what would happen to her new family, her husband, Terry, a schoolteacher, and her daughter, Grace. She was overprotective of eight-year-old Grace, who Cynthia was still walking to school. Then mysterious things began to happen and the Archers decided to hire a private eye to find out what they could. This is a fast-paced, brilliantly written, humorous at times, well-plotted story by the well-known Linwood Barclay. Now I know what "I couldn't put it down" really means. I read well into the night to finish, otherwise, I wouldn't have got any sleep until I knew the ending. The follow-up story to this book has already been downloaded into my Kindle. Thank you, Mr. Barclay

Coinvolgente e ben scritto!
Non è il primo libro che leggo di Linwood Barclay e ogni volta riesce a conquistarmi con il suo stile. Anche questo romanzo non ha fatto eccezione! La storia è avvincente, piena di suspense e colpi di scena che tengono incollati alle pagine fino alla fine. Non riuscivo a smettere di leggerlo! Lo consiglio!
