Great suspense story and it was a good choice for an audiobook. I knew the bad guy as soon as he appeared but my opinion wavered at one point. Gardner does a great job at keeping you tuned into the story. I will go back and read some of the others in the series now as well!Feb 2017:re-read the epub version this time. I had forgotten some of the storyline and was pulled right back in!
There is a saying in Alcoholics Anonymous ... "Sobriety is a daily reprieve contingent upon my spiritual condition" . In previous books in the series Rainie appeared to be an alcoholic but never said the words and never attended an AA meeting. She would play games with a bottle of Bud Light and then pour out the contents. For an alcoholic a very dangerous game. In their profession Quincy & Rainie have seen many horrific things. Now it appears as though one case has pushed Rainie over the edge...
I got to the middle of the book and I was in no mood to continue. I don't know what it is about this book but it's like a deja vu. The kidnap, the evil thoughts... Nothing original. Focusing on that dark world of evil people & those feelings of being powerless, clueless; maybe those were too much for me. It's supposed to be fast-paced and yet I thought the story evolved so slowly. I didn't feel like continuing. Anyway after a few days I picked it up again and persevered. I really don't think it'...
Gone is an electrifying, quick pace novel, spanning over a non-stop 48-hour period.Pierce Quincy, an ex-FBI profiler, takes a call from the local Bakersville sheriff office, claiming to have found his wife’s car; abandoned and off to the side of a dirt road with the drivers door wide open, gun missing and his wife, Lorraine (Rainie) Conner, gone.Quincy knew Rainie was distraught prior to her disappearance; she had a drinking problem, there were family issue and her recent separation from Quincy
i did the audiobook, 85 percent of the characters in the book are male, and the voice was a female. It was painful to listen to her try to sound like 9 different men.
2.5 stars rounded down. This one didn't really work for me on a number of fronts. The plot seemed to spend a lot of time introducing characters from different law enforcement groups who were working the kidnapping of Raine but none of the characters were interesting, well developed or apparently competent. They all just chased their tails.The plot was also very slow and boring and even at the end of the book I was still unimpressed and bored.A lot of time was spent on Rainie going off the rails
This is the 5th book of this series.i really enjoyed it. I will be reading the rest of them in this series.
I should give this 3.3〜3.4 stars, but I found some of the stuff for too disturbing to do that. Soo 2.8 stars???? Also, all the different POV’s and time forwards and backwards was a bit confusing at times.
Really enjoyed this fast paced mystery. I do have a bad habit of reading series books out of sequence but that's usually when I borrow them from the library and there isn't a whole lot of choice - there are only three Lisa Gardner audio books there from different series and that is it!So, with that in mind I do feel like I missed out on a bit of background on Quincy & Rainie - it does work as a standalone story but I almost felt like I'd cheated and read a few spoilers by skipping the first few
OH MY GOODNESS is all I really need to say about this book, but I'll try and say a bit more. I thought the last book I read by Lisa Gardner (The Killing Hour) was a page turner which it was, but this was so much more. Talk about a fast paced, edge of your seat, twists and turns this book had the absolute lot plus more. Gone is the fifth book in the Quincy & Rainie series and boy, what a fabulous series it is. I've probably said this before in my other reviews, but I'll say it again, Lisa Gardner...
“It’s fifteen minutes past the deadline for learning that my wife is still alive.” I think readers can now safely conclude that ex-FBI psychological profiler Pierce Quincy is a psychopath magnet! First, his eldest daughter and wife are murdered. Then both he and his youngest daughter, now in training to become an FBI agent herself, are the targets of a killer. And now his wife, Rainie Conner, troubled with the demons of her past and struggling with alcoholism, has been kidnapped and is up for
Waking from another heart-stopping nightmare, shaking and lonely, Rainie Connor knew she wouldn’t, couldn’t sleep again that night, so dressing hurriedly, she headed out into the pouring rain to go for a drive. Driving around aimlessly seemed to settle her – she had always done it, and supposed she always would. But the devastation and loneliness wouldn’t leave her – it had only been seven days, but it felt like forever…Across town, Pierce Quincy, ex-FBI profiler was pacing the night hours away
Haunted by the actions of rapists and murderers, particularly those who have escaped conviction, Rainie Conner, an ex-police officer turned private investigator, finds justice in the bottle she has avoided for fifteen years. When her husband, fellow private investigator Pierce Quincy, has had enough, he abandons her, hoping she will realize only one road lies ahead and it leads to AA. Rainie is kidnapped, while taking yet another sequential wrong turn, and discovers everything she has taken for
Wow. From page one to the last page, Gone is a nail-biting, heart pounding, can't put it down thriller. I'm reading the series with friends and never saw this story coming. If you're fans of Rainie & Quincy, this one will break your heart and stomp all over the pieces. There's nothing I can say about the story without spoilers so I'll just say it's the best of the series so far and one of the darkest by far. It's twisted, filled with red herrings and a long list of endless possibilities of who d...
Lisa Garnder is one of the writers I found after I became a member here. The first book I read was number 4. After that I started from the beginning. It was a good book even though it was a bit slow in the beginning. I only have one complain about this book. When your ribs are broken, your chest is not wrapped. It's very painful but the doctor doesn't do anything about it apart from giving you pain meds. I liked this book and I look forward to reading the next. Unexpected bad guy.

Wow!!! All I can say is how have I missed this brilliant crime/thriller novelist for so long?Lisa Gardner has written a ripper of a roller coaster thriller. It had me twisting and turning and staying up well into the night to finish it. It was not in the least predictable and right to the end I had no idea what the outcome would be, which for me is my idea of the perfect crime/thriller novel.The fact that this was the 5th in a series no way at all detracted from the story line or made me feel th...
Another great book from Lisa Gardner, Im getting through her backlist of books slowly. Full review to come. Solid 4.5 stars

This was one of my favorites of the series. The case itself kept me on my toes and had me gripping my e-reader for the last 20% or so. I also really loved the struggles and demons Quincy and Rainie are still fighting. It's one of the things I love about series that follow the same characters - being able to see the ups and downs of their personal journeys as well.
