Search - Since You've Been Gone

I absolutely love Carlene Thompson. I have read all of her books and each one is excellent. I recommend all of her books and I can't wait to read more by her. This book has many twist and turns that keeps you guessing till the end. Great story, great author.

I just found this author about a week ago and this is the third book I've read by her already. This book was disturbing for me, as it involves the kidnapping and murder of a small child. I also had a bit of trouble trying to keep all of the characters straight. Having said that, I still found it to be a suspenseful, intense read.

4 out of 5

I have read almost all of this author's book and so far this one has been my favorite. In her other books I haven't been too surprised at who the killer was. But this one totally took me by surprise! Loved it and can't wait to read more of her books!
