About this listen

 On October 17, eleven years ago, Julie Miller was found brutally strangled in the basement of her house in the township of Livingston, New Jersey. On that day, Will's brother, Ken Klein, became the subject of an international manhunt accused of the crime. He has not been seen since.

Will has tried to get on with his life in the intervening years. He has a beautiful new girlfriend, Sheila, and a job working with the homeless. But when his mother reveals on her deathbed that Ken is still alive, and shortly afterwards Sheila disappears, the cracks start to show in his landscape again. But it is only when he finds that Sheila herself is wanted for a savage double-murder that his life actually starts to fall apart...

Critic Reviews

A propulsive thriller, a touching love story and a subtle analysis of dysfunctional families . . . Coben creates a host of striking characters . . . This is top-notch thriller writing
Gone for Good is Harlan Coben's follow-up to the bestselling Tell No One and will not disappoint . . . Ingenious and gripping, this is another thriller to stir the heart
'A magnificent great doughnut of a book . . . Coben has written one of the most expertly paced, unguessably twisting plots I have come across in a long time . . . thoroughly satisfying
A criminally good novel . . . [a] plot with so many twists and turns I felt both giddy and wildly exhilarated by the end. What makes Harlan Coben so special is his ability to pick ordinary people who harbour extraordinary, and often deeply dark, secrets
This is superbly crafted, high-adrenalin entertainment
This twisty treat is one of the best thrillers you'll read this year
In Coben's novels trust nothing and no one. He is a superb writer and a devilish plotter . . . Take my word, this story is exceptional
All stars
Most relevant
Will is like agent 86 in Get Smart… clueless. Nevertheless, a good listen because Tim Machin is an artist.

Re-read this book to get characters, story and places clear. Still an entertaining classic Coben.

Coben ' s Circuitous Tale Still a Thriller

I purchased this title to read along with the book, but the narrator skips whole chunks of the book! Not just a sentence here and there, but whole paragraphs. It cut out a lot of detail and I couldn’t listen to it at all. Frustrating.

Skips whole paragraphs!

Listened to the whole thing hoping for something better than the cynical playing with stereotypes. Nah, sorry, cartoonish characters, amorality and no subtlety or style.

Cartoonish nonsense
