This is the second thriller I've read by Linwood Barclay, and they were both great -- intriguing plot, natural dialogue, interesting characters, twists and an unexpected ending. This book scores on all points. I read it all weekend because I couldn't wait to get an explantion for this bizarre mystery.14-year old Cynthia has had a rough night. It's her first time sneaking out with an older boy, getting drunk, lying to her parents -- yep, Cyn has entered adolescence with a vengeance, and there is a lot of yelling and anger when her dad finds her and brings her home. The next morning Cynthia wakes up to find her entire family is gone -- her mother, father and older brother. Their beds don't even look slept in. So did they just all leave her behind? Or, if somebody killed them, why did they leave her?Twenty five years later, she has her own family -- a loving husband, a precocious 8-yo daughter, and the aunt who raised her. People around her, including her husband, can't understand why she just doesn't move on, but Cynthia is still haunted by the loss and imagines people are following her. Or are they really?The book starts slow, introducing us to these characters and this intriguing premise. It builds steadily, introducing a few new characters, and finishes strong, with a plausible ending.I'll definitely be looking for more books by this author. He writes very well, with an easy narrative voice that pops the occasional zinger.
