- No, It's Not Magic!
'Gone without a trace' says the blurb on the front cover, but believe me, this novel is by no means magic! Didn't read any reviews before buying or reading, so started with an open mind. Good start and enjoyed it until around half way, then I started to pick holes in it. A 14-year-old (Cynthia)has a run-in with her parents one evening and goes to bed - drunk; she wakes next morning in an empty house. It transpires that her parents and brother have disappeared and 25 years later the mystery remains ... Read More

- Poor plot and not very well written
This book had the feel of a B-film throughout. The writing created very little tension and the plot, when all was revealed, was disappointing bordering on the ridiculous. There was considerable reliance on coincidence (such as the meeting in the shopping mall, two characters of almost identical appearance in a photo, boxes of momentoes which acted as clues, the school girl who just happened to be linked to the gangster ex-boyfriend, and the head who happened to be a family friend for 25 years etc, ...

Rating: - Just Ghastly...
I'm surprised this was ever published, it's just that bad. The characters are paper thin, this could be forgiven if the story was compelling or the writing was good. Lets face it from the synopsis you would be led to thinking it has some potential. Do not be fooled.

Rating: - Better start than finish
Really got into this book quickly, good starting suspense. Found the last third of the book a little lacking.
Rating: - Lazy writing
The book starts with a decent premise but the conclusion is steeped in cliche and the whole plot becomes lazy - you want there to be a really clever, suitable ending but the actual end leaves you feeling disappointed and cheated. Seen it all before in bad novels and TV movies. Read Harlem Coben instead - clever writing and innovative twists and turns.
