What a premise too. Leona Deakin has written something so incredibly original. I was marvelling at its power to intrigue and surprise me. Dr Augusta Bloom is the main protagonist. She's a psychologist but also an investigator, an unusual and perhaps unexpected combination. I thought she was a brilliant creation. Working alongside her colleague, ex-secret service agent Marcus Jameson, she is asked to look into the disappearance of first of all a friend of Marcus's, and then more people who have disappeared in similar circumstances.
Missing person storylines are nothing new but this is where the author has taken it a step further. She's invented something that absolutely thrilled and fascinated me and made me seriously think about certain people! The people go missing when they receive a first birthday card with a dare contained within it, a dare to play a dangerous game.
This is a story that flows perfectly. It's so easy to read and yet it's such a complex storyline. I'm really impressed with how well the author managed to make it oh so plausible, so realistic, so chilling and so exciting. I was also amazed by the twists which I really did not see coming - so clever and dark.
I'm so pleased to see that Augusta will return in a second book in 2020. I don't know if Lost can possibly top Gone but I'm really looking forward to finding out. In case you hadn't cottoned on, I highly recommend this book. It's nice to read something so innovative, an investigative story from a different viewpoint, not a police procedural. It completely messed with my mind, challenged my thinking and made me look at people in a completely different way. Just brilliant.… (altro)
