RRP: £7.99 Pages: 437 Paperback Crime Fiction
This is one of 'Richard & Judy's Summer Reads' and I can see why. It is a real page-turner.
Its the first time that I have read a book by Linwood Barclay and I will definately be looking out for more of his work. 'No Time For Goodbye' is written in the first person, from the husbands perspective, about his wife and the loss of her family at age 16. The writing is fast-paced but imaginative, and the plot doesn't seem to be far-fetched at all. Good stuff!
The House was silent. No sound of her parents getting ready for work, or her brother late for school. Were they punishing her for last night? She'd been out on a date when she should have been studying, and had a huge fight with her father. So where was everyone now? Why had her family disappeared?
Twenty-five years later the mystery is no nearer to being solved and Cynthia is still haunted by unaswered questions. Were her family murdered? Abducted? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they abandon her?
Then a letter arrives, a letter which makes no sense. Soon Cynthia begins to realise that stirring up the past could be the worst mistake she has ever made.
Rating: 9 out of 10 - 1 point of for being written in 1st person, but other than that, a fantastic read!
