Good read

Overall this book kept my attention & if a book doesn’t move fast enough or has too many confusing characters & events, I lose interest.

Gone...

If you could sum up Gone Without a Trace in three words, what would they be?

Thought provoking thriller.

What did you like best about this story?

The premise was different from the start. I loved that it didn't go in the direction I first had in mind. I figured out part of it early on, but there were twists that I didn't see coming. I find many books anyone toward the end, but this one was interesting to the last word.

What does Emily Pennant-Rea bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration was perfect for the character. She had a natural rhythm and never broke the flow of the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were several moments that were touching. As Hannah searched for Matt and remembered how much she loved him. Katie, trying to help her best friend move on with her life.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. It isn't the typical cookie cutter read and is worth a credit.

This one just gets better...

Several hours into this book I was still asking myself what was happening. I wasn't sure if it was good or bad but I knew I hadn't figured it out yet and for me that's always a bonus. The interesting twist made it a good book ,and the narration was spot on.

Quite good!

I enjoyed this story so much...well told and unpredictable turns. easy to listen to as well

Almost gave up on it.

This book was so slow in the beginning. I almost gave up on it, but didn’t because I liked one of her other books so well.
