Goodreads review by Nilufer

I couldn’t get more excited after seeing RHH’s last book at the NG and best part is you can access it without even requesting! “And now she’s gone”was one of all time favorite reads and I also enjoyed her several previous works!

Quotes

“[Narrator Alaska] Jackson's inflections perfectly capture the story and make the way the individual characters communicate with one another seem real. With a compelling story and a strong performance, listeners get a thrilling experience from this well-performed audiobook.” AudioFile Magazine“Hall exhibits a mastery of slowly building pressure-cooker tension until it explodes. A less accomplished writer might not have been able to be as convincing with occasional situational constructs that stretch credulity, but Hall pulls all of it off with aplomb. She remains a writer to watch.” Publishers Weekly“What’s most special about the book is the array of complex characters…The dialogue is sharp, observant, and emotional without ever straying into sentimentality, and the mystery of who is targeting the Gibson family manages to stay compelling despite many twists and turns…This captivating domestic thriller will keep you on your toes.” Kirkus Reviews
