Gone Without A Trace by Mary TorjussenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hannah Monroe,a senior Manager for a large firm of accountants is having a really good day and was actually singing to herself as she walked up the path to her house.She had just returned from a training course,her speech had gone really well and it looked like she was on track for a promotion to director.She couldn't wait to share her wonderful news with Matt her boyfriend of four years but when she enters her home she discovers that Matt and all his belongings are gone.She then discovers that he hasn't been at work for weeks,it's like he has erased all evidence that he ever existed.After Hannah begins a frantic obsessive search to find Matt strange things start happening and she begins to get the unsettling feeling that she is being watched.
This is a thrilling mystery that is voiced completely by Hannah who is not a very likeable character for reasons that I cannot explain without giving away too much information because certain elements of her character are pivotal to the plot.Many of the characters are untrustworthy and I had my doubts about what they did or did not know and how much they were involved in Matt's disappearance as the story unfolded.
The story hooked me in from the first page and has one hell of a twist that completely changed my perception of everything that I had read.It's a gripping,intreguing story that keeps the reader guessing and has no parts that come across as padding.It has short chapters and the story flows along nicely.I thought this was Mary Torjussens first book but apparently she has two others both of which I will definitely be getting hold of and I look forward to reading more books written by her in the future
Many thanks to publishers Headline for a arc of this book via netgalley in exchange for a honest review
