"Great thriller. Couldn't put it down. I love the way Barclay leads you through the story, letting you discover things along with the main character. You follow the logic with him, come to the same conclusions and suspect the same people. <br/><br/>If you like thrillers, don't miss this one. For that matter, read everything Linwood Barclay has written. They're all great."
"This one would probably be up there as one of my favourites. "

"25 years ago, when she is 14 years old, Cynthia's parents and her brother vanish overnight. Today Cynthia is married and has an 8-year old daughter. She is still trying to figure out what exactly happened - is her family maybe still alive? Did they leave her? Were they kidnapped? Killed? <br/>Written from the POV of Cynthia's husband, Terry, this book is a thriller you don't want to put down. Is Cynthia paranoid? Did she have something to do with the disappearance of her family? <br/>There are many questions waiting for answers. This was my first Linwood Barclay - but definitely won't be my last! I think I will pick up the sequel ("No Safe House") pretty soon."
