AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An unforgettable suspense novel that combines the storytelling talents of Academy Award-winning actor Reese Witherspoon and internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben. Gone Before Goodbye is the story of a woman trapped in a deadly conspiracy—where uncovering the truth could cost her everything.
Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan ... until it wasn’t.
Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.
Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, one of the world’s most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself—or she will be the next one who is ... Gone Before Goodbye
Reviews
A fun psychological thriller
3By Lore PalliRead it in one night. Enjoyed it until the end, there were a lot of flaws in the writing, confusing plot twists and too much going on. But overall a good read.Don’t bother
1By Wizzie11Bad writing and silly plotting.Gone before goodbye
3By GWYNEDD READERSomewhat far fetched, however readable.They should have let AI write it
1By storeagbgeThis book is unbelievably terrible. The story doesn’t make any sense, it repeats itself through different locations without advancing a bit….. there are about 5 cliches per page, and they’re also repeated throughout the book…….but the worst part of it is the writing. A 5th grader not cheating with AI would write a better prose. They should have let AI write it.Frannie
5By Over ageI could not put it down. Keep me up a few nightsFar fetched
1By Sally VVSuch a bizarre story with few redeeming characters. Disappointing all the way around.Wow!
5By 10OMB13I’ve read all of HC’s books and initially passed on this one that was co-authored by RW as I thought that it wouldn’t meet his normally high standards. WOW…was I wrong. This is a fabulous page turner that’s as good as EVER! Bravo.Gone Before Goodbye
3By ArtymusicianI enjoyed reading this book, but was really surprised by the ending. I got a real glimpse of AI potential for good and evil in this book, as well as human potential for greed, vengeance, and immorality. What a shock. It seemed unrealistic and more like science fiction in some parts - but as technology keeps advancing at quantum leaps, I guess anything is possible). Sadly, human potential for evil and cruelty is unlimited. The characters turned out to be very disappointing. The portraits of war zones, Dubai, and even Bordeaux were dark and ugly. I still want to visit Bordeaux, though, as the countryside is beautiful and untarnished by this ridiculous portrayal. Just silly.A great read
4By From the ShoreLiked it a lot, the build up was great, couldn’t put it down. However, the conclusion was disappointing. I read it in a couple of days, worth it!To ok a While
3By jj's wayIt took a while to get going. Not sure I would recommend it. More like question, what did you think?Gone…
4By mary nickelsmithLoved this book. Until the end. Too much of a rapid wrap up with no logic.Outstanding!
5By Stephanie'sBest I’ve read in years!!!Disappointing
2By JasmineBSOIt’s an interesting idea, but the writing was average and so choppy that it actually interrupted me every time I got involved. The characters didn’t seem real and the ending was bizarre. All of a sudden, Maggie has a gun? Her father-in-law has a gun? How many people are willing to commit murder? For me, there are many better books to read.I was surprised
5By AllyDennyI have long loved Harlan Coben, but this is even better than his best. Lots of twists and turns; couldn’t put it down. 100% worth the price.
