In the hope of saving her daughter from a kidnapper whose origin seems darker than anything she could ever have imagined, Sue will discover just how much trauma and fright the human body is capable of absorbing. If you want something on the horror type of side it is still jam packed full of those type of things.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of You Were Gone by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen, Rachel Bavidge and Tom Burke. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. It started off by giving a little background of the natator by telling what she does for a living and you learn a lot about the internal feelings of the narrator as the story continues. The action is nonstop which makes for a very complex and hard to follow story, I found that I had constantly to backtrack to remind myself as to the identity of a particular character or location.It hinges on the question of who or what killed volatile Estelle, childhood friend and neighbour of narrator Caro. Vielleicht lese ich noch einen zweiten Band, nur um mir ein abschließendes Bild vom Schreibstil des Authors zu machen. But when Emily Kane arrives at her sister Carrie's house, she finds the front door unlocked and no one inside. Great first book, awesome and quick read with a lot of character development and my only complaint (and what keeps it from being 5 stars) is the length.

However, Henderson, Maryland is a gossipy town, and his wife Carole has grown suspicious of Joe's refusal to talk about his past. And yet, after a while, when the money really started coming in, Derryn persuaded me to rent some office space down the road from our home, in an effort to get me out, but also – more than that, I think – to convince me I could make a career out of what I was doing. Its potential - there are some interesting ideas - never fully develops and ends up lost among plot holes, inconsistencies, and the completely inexplicable.

The big secret generates violence that escalates and becomes increasingly and disturbingly intimate as the story progresses. Ciò che mi è piaciuto particolarmente di questo romanzo è stata la facilità con cui l’autore è riuscito, con poche ma intense descrizioni, a creare situazioni angoscianti, scenari da incubo e personaggi diabolici (nel leggere alcuni passaggi mi sono accorta di aver trattenuto il fiato insieme al protagonista! slapstick comedy plot mixed with thriller style - unbelievable number of unbelievable escapes from people with guns trying to kill each other combined with miraculous instant recoveries by people beaten to seeming near unconsciousness. This was my first encounter with the writing of Joe Schreiber, and based on this book there will be more. I was looking for a different book (Kill Creek by Thomas Scott) while visiting the Zionsville, Indiana public library - - which they didn't have on the shelves.

At first glance, this book looked like a story where a woman saved her daughter from certain death, the end. The only things that put me off was the religious slant on the book although it turns out that this nothing more than a fanatical religious sect and not based on true Christian beliefs. Susan Young, the main character of the book, was a hard working person who did everything she could to make a good life for her daughter, Veda. Even now having finished the story I'm really not sure what it was all about and what actually happened. His fourth novel, Never Coming Back, was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, and his work has been nominated for a National Book Award.I purchased this book almost in desperation after finding the last two or three novels I read quite disappointing. This book has about 200 pages in it so its not to small but not to big either if your a reader who like something small. Went into it based upon my love for Joe's other books I read (No Doors, No Windows and Death troopers) but what I got was a different taste of his works all together. The debut thriller from Tim Weaver, the first in his bestselling David Raker Missing Persons series. EDIT: I noticed that the revolver was replaced with a M1911, seemingly, and that the scale of environmental assets was messed up in several places.

The twists and subplots are what keep the book going and although at times it is a bit far fetched, he keeps the momentum going until you are gasping for breath. You won't be disappointed, and the eerie apprehensive feeling won't stop you from shivering until you reach the final pages. It starts off with an appropriately mysterious meeting between a pair of children, moves to a busy mother's innocuous day that we know is leading to trouble, and then begins a fast-paced thriller chase that keeps inching up the scare factor. So for the 13 - 17 age crowd, it would probably be a fun read with the promise of fitful sleep to follow.The pace romps along, and although the plot's holes could have rivalled our cosmic black hole (and I'm still not completely sure exactly what the bad-guy was.
