A lightning-paced psychological thriller of secrets, lies and obsessive love. NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is a truly compulsive page-turning psychological thriller with echoes of Harlan Coben's TELL NO ONE. The combination of ingenious plotting and a heartfelt depiction of a family in crisis gives it wide appeal Linwood Barclay really delivers with a sensational pay-off to mark him as a brilliant new talent in the world of suspense writing. He has already received excellent reviews: 'Barclay is the master' Wall Street Journal. 'NO TIME FOR GOODBYE just flies off the page. It's a one-sit thriller. You sit down with this book and you won't get up until you've turned the last page' Michael Connelly. 'If you liked Harlan Coben, you'll love Linwood Barclay' Peter Robinson. 'Utterly riveting. It will grab you on page one and won't let you go until the final, stunning conclusion' Tess Gerritsen. 'NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is a high-speed emotional roller-coaster. The surprises will leave you breathless' Robert Crais.
Linwood Barclay is married with two children and lives in Toronto. He has written a popular column for the Toronto Star since 1993.
High schooler Cynthia wakes up to find that the rest of her family has vanished. Years later, she starts getting scary inklings of what really happened. From a Toronto Star columnist; multiple rights sales and the book's inclusion in Bantam Dell's podcast program promise good things to come. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
"a fast-moving roller-coaster of a read" -- Emma Lee-Potter DAILY EXPRESS "Barclay's enjoyably creepy tale...certainly keeps one turning the pages" TIMES
When Cynthia was 14 years old, her family disappeared without a trace. Twenty-five years later, Cynthia has her own family and though sometimes overprotective of her daughter, she has become a functioning adult. But as she and her husband, Terry, attempt to live normal lives, hints and clues begin appearing that bring Cynthia back to that night years ago. Lane blesses this twisting novel with a fantastic performance, which improves the overall narrative experience. At first, some voices may seem like vocal caricatures, but given each character's development, listeners soon realize how well chosen the voice has been. Lane also displays an impressive range, including such believable characters as a middle-aged thug, a sinister old woman and Cynthia's precocious daughter. Told through the eyes of Terry, Lane also seamlessly augments his tone throughout as Terry grapples to figure out the mystery that haunts his family. Simultaneous release with the Dell hardcover (Reviews, Aug. 20). (Sept.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
