This was the first book I've read by Ms. Fenech, but it certainly won't be my last. "Gone" starts off in a startling, attention grabbing way and though I had to put it down for things like work, I never *wanted* to, and I was always anxious to get back into the story. Clare is one of the most messed up heroines I've read in awhile, but her actions and growth are completely believable and consistent. The whole story is very well-written, and the pacing is perfect. The final scenes will ...more
I started "Gone" last night and finished it today. I was weak with hunger by the time I finished the novel. It is a very suspenseful book. The novel is well written, and I especially liked the way Ms. Fenech wrote the characters. Each character had a very distinctive personality, even those who appeared to be lacking in personality, because that is the way they were meant to be.I look forward to more from Karen Fenech. She could perhaps have told us a little more about the killer befor...more
A REAL PAGE TURNER. They say you have to hook the reader and keep her there. In Gone the first sentence hooked me, and I immediately asked questions, lots of them.
First sentence. 'In Seven minutes her mother was being executed.'
The Heroine is a Special Agent, Clare Marshall.
'Clare had been five when her mother pointed a gun at her head.'
The mother had shot her brother, and she has a little sister.
The story was amazing, well written, and so so ...more

I would rate this book a 3.5. It's about an FBI agent who has been searching
For her sister who was adopted as an infant. When she finally gets a lead, she finds her sister
Has been missing for 1 week. She sets out to find her with the help of her ex boyfriend who is an FBI
agent and is now living in this town. Go figure.
It kept me interested and I liked the characters, but it had no depth.

If you like mysteries, this is a good one. An FBI agent is searching for the sister she has not seen in 25 years when the infant girl was adopted. She gets a solid lead but when she arrives in the small town her sister has lived in, her sister has recently disappeared. So her search now turns into what might be an abduction or is she a runaway wife!

I'm really liking this book so far! The writing is such that I'm very curious what direction the author is taking me in. I'm only 19% into it so the jury is still out. But so far so good!
I'm giving it 4 stars because it had some really dry spots that I kind of rushed through, but loved the ending. Good read!

"Gone" is Clare's sister who is whisked away that very day. Clare never gives up and as an adult, finally locates her sister only to find that she is "Gone". She has disappeared, and though the reason for her disappearance seems explainable at first, the suspense st...more
