Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Barclay (Bad Guys) tugs hard on the heartstrings with the tragic tale of Cynthia Bigge, whose parents and brother vanished without a trace the day after she had a tempestuous teenage argument with her father. Twenty-five years later, raising a daughter with her husband, Terrence Archer, in Milford, Conn., but still haunted by her family's disappearance, Cynthia goes on TV to talk about what happened and plead for clues. A mysterious phone call leads her to believe her father, at least, may still be alive, but as her excitement grows, so do Terrence's worries. It soon appears that someone is playing a unexpectedly vicious game with Cynthia's emotions, and that her family held secrets she never suspected. Though some plot twists require significant suspension of disbelief, skilled characterization and convincing dialogue more than compensate. (Oct.)

From AudioFile

A mystery masterpiece is read by a master narrator. Fourteen-year-old Cynthia Bigge storms off to bed after her angry father finds her partying with her tough boyfriend. When she awakens the next morning, her parents and brother have disappeared. Twenty-five years later, Cynthia, now married to Terry, a high school teacher, is featured on a TV special that examines her family mystery. The broadcast sets off a series of strange and threatening incidents. Christopher Lane, as a strong, sympathetic Terry, takes us deep into the perilous journey to find the truth, and prevent Cynthia from meeting the same fate as her family. Lane exploits Barclays breathtaking momentum, building to an edge-of-the-seat climax and superbly portraying every character--killers, detectives, friends, a memorable mobster, and his comical gang. Not to be missed! M.T.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Time, Jun 30 2008
By Bernie Koenig (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I looked forward to this book since I have enjoyed other novels by Barclay. But I found it a bit disapointing. This book isn't so much a whodunnit as a what happened.

The story is about a family gone missing, and attempts to still discover what happened by the lone survivor twenty five years later.

While is there is some real suspense I felt that Barclay was prolonging things. I also found much of what transpired fairly predictable. That by itself is not a real problem, for in most mysteries, the outcome isn't the issue, but how we get there is what good suspense is about.

And after a leisurely told story the climax is a bit too overdone. It is as if i have been walking along a path very slowly just wandering on my own when all of a sudden I have to run through a whole bunch of stuff.

As I said, not a bad book at all, but it seemed too long for me. I kept saying, "well get on with it already."

3.0 out of 5 stars Strong and weak, Nov 21 2009
By Mj Perry "suas leis leabhrach" (Gormley, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: No Time for Goodbye (Mass Market Paperback)
This book had an interesting plot line, but it was too easy to figure it out before the events unfolded. There were some really good moments, and although I wanted to know if my deductions were correct or not, I wasn't enamoured of the writing style. It's one of those books I would normally relegate to a plane ride, or if I'm ill...it's one of those books that's a pleasant read and interruptions don't really matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!, Feb 24 2009
This review is from: No Time for Goodbye (Mass Market Paperback)
On my husband's advice, I started this book in the morning and found I couldn't put it down until I had finished. It's the kind of book where you start suspecting everyone you meet (and sometimes you aren't wrong to do so!). I thoroughly enjoyed it.
