NO TIME FOR GOODBYE
by Linwood Barclay

  • I read it between Jul 29 & Aug 1, 2017
  • Genre: THRILLER

I wish I’d written this ...

... because it takes an average domestic scemario and turns it on its head!

This has one of the twistiest turniest plots I’ve ever encountered, and I loved it! Pretty much every other chapter had me thinking, “What the heck is going on?” … but in a very, very good way. There’s no confusion … Barclay’s writing is crystal clear and whenever he mentions a character or event you might have forgotten, he adds a subtle reminder. Really well written and fabulously entertaining!

From the publisher

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 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.

Praise!
