I do not remember where I heard of GONE BEFORE GOODBYE, it is not a genre I often read Psychological Thriller / Suspense / Mystery but it was available at my library for an audible download and I finished it in two days ignoring my other reads in process: I enjoyed it:; the caste was excellent and Porkchop strongly reminded me of a recently lost friend; I am glad I read it, if you are looking for a great performance and an entertaining tale, give it a try.
This collaboration between the “Queen of Book Clubs” and the “Master of the Twist” is one of the most anticipated thrillers of the decade. It blends high-stakes suspense with a deeply emotional core. While Coben provides the signature “hook” and breakneck speed, Witherspoon’s influence is felt in the rich, complex characterization of the protagonist. If you enjoy thrillers that make you wonder “what would I do in this situation?” while keeping you guessing until the very last page, this is an essential listen.

The Associated Press:
“A match made in thriller heaven. Witherspoon and Coben have created a story that is as heart-wrenching as it is terrifying. The twists are earned, and the emotional payoff is profound.”

“The ultimate page-turner. It has the cinematic quality of a Reese Witherspoon production and the ‘just-one-more-chapter’ urgency of a classic Harlan Coben novel. You won’t see the ending coming.”🎙️ Audible Note
