"Exciting suspense"
Will and Ken were brothers who were also the best of
friends. Will's first true love was the girl next door,
Julie Miller, and they went together for years until one
day she unexpectedly broke up with him. Almost a year
later, the police theorize that after having sex with
Julie, Ken killed her and ran away. For eleven years, Will
and his family have every reason to believe that Ken is
dead. On his mother's deathbed, she informs Will that Ken is
still alive. After her death, he finds a recently taken
picture of Ken. He confides in his live in-lover Shelia
who seems very happy to him but then she leaves a cryptic
note and slips away quickly into the night. Will is
determined to find out all he can about his brother and
Shelia but the more he uncovers, the more he realizes he
didn't know those two people at all. Harlan Coben has written one of the most suspenseful
novels of the year. GONE FOR GOOD has more layers than an
onion and as each one is ripped away, the readers learns
the truth is not black and white and that good and evil
wear many similar guises. After the reader finishes this
exciting novel, the audience will ponder all the
philosophical questions Mr. Coben cleverly interwove into
the story line. Harriet Klausner
