About this audiobook

From the bestselling author of Alone and The Killing Hour comes a thriller that goes from heartbreaking to heartstopping in the blink of an eye.…

When someone you love vanishes without a trace, how far would you go to get them back?

For ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, it's the beginning of his worst nightmare: a car abandoned on a desolate stretch of Oregon highway, engine running, purse on the driver's seat. And his estranged wife, Rainie Conner, gone, leaving no clue to her fate.

Did one of the ghosts from Rainie's troubled past finally catch up with her? Or could her disappearance be the result of one of the cases they'd been working- a particularly vicious double homicide or the possible abuse of a deeply disturbed child Rainie took too close to heart?  Together with his daughter, FBI agent Kimberly Quincy, Pierce is battling the local authorities, racing against time, and frantically searching for answers to all the questions he's been afraid to ask.

One man knows what happened that night. Adopting the alias of a killer caught eighty years before, he has already contacted the press. His terms are clear: he wants money, he wants power, he wants celebrity. And if he doesn't get what he wants, Rainie will be gone for good.

Sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, it's still not enough.

As the clock winds down on a terrifying deadline, Pierce plunges headlong into the most desperate hunt of his life, into the shattering search for a killer, a lethal truth, and for the love of his life, who may forever be…gone.

    Rainnie Connor has problems. She had an abusive childhood and currently is haunted by past cases and has a drinking problem. She disappears while on a late night drive, and team is formed to find her. Leading the team is Quincy, her estranged husband. The novel cuts back and forth between scenes of the police trying to find suspects, Quincy reaching out to his FBI agent daughter to help him find his wife, and of Rainnie in the hands of the kidnapper.

    The are plenty of twists and turns in this fast paced novel. Rainnie is haunted by a past case of a murdered girl and her mother. I don't know if that was from a previous Gardner novel, but just the brief description it got in this book haunted me. "Gone" is an exciting kidnapping mystery. The excitement comes from the characters and their situations, not the plot's ultimate outcome.

    I have not read any of Lisa Gardner's books before, but I thought this one was great!!!! I even told my husband how great it was and he's going to read it as well. I thought it was well written, fast paced, and she did weave in clues as to who the UNSUB was without my guessing. Plus, I liked the ending too. It's a very good read and I'm assuming stands alone as well considering it's in a series.

    A terrifying woman-in-jeopardy plot propels Gardner's latest thriller, in which child advocate and PI Lorraine "Rainie" Conner's fate hangs in the balance. Rainie, a recovering alcoholic with a painful past (who previously appeared in Gardner's The Third Victim, The Next Accident and The Killing Hour) is kidnapped from her parked car one night in coastal Oregon. The key players converge on the town of Bakersville to solve the mystery of her disappearance: Rainie's husband, Quincy, a semiretired FBI profiler whose anguish over Rainie undercuts his high-level experience with kidnappers; Quincy's daughter, Kimberley, a rising star in the FBI who flies in from Atlanta; Oregon State Police Sgt. Det. Carlton Kincaid; local sheriff Shelly Atkins; and abrasive federal agent Candi Rodriguez, who specializes in hostage negotiation. Gardner suspensefully intercuts the complicated maneuvering of this bickering team with graphic scenes of Rainie bravely struggling with her violent, sadistic captor. When the rescuers make a misstep, he raises the stakes by snatching a troubled seven-year-old foster child named Dougie, who's one of Rainie's cases. The cat-and-mouse intensifies, as does the mystery of the kidnapper's identity. Sympathetic characters, a strong sense of place and terrific plotting distinguish Gardner's new thriller.

    Gone by Lisa Gardner is another well done suspense novel by this author. I was pretty sure I had figured out "whodunit" about halfway through, and it wasn't until the last chapter that I discovered how completely wrong I was. Good read, definitely worth the time!

    A slow burner. Pierce Quincy is an ex-FBI Profiler. He moved out of his house and away from his loving wife Rainie Conner because of her alcohol problems. He figured it was the best thing he could do. When her car turns up empty, engine running, purse on the drivers seat it starts a kidnap investigation that he's compelled to help with.Complicated, involved and interesting this is a compelling read. Occasionally predictable then it suddenly changes and adds an interesting twist.

    This is the first LG I've read. I generally stay away from women mystery writers who've come out of the romance genre. (This is not a slight either mystery or romance; I enjoy both.)The thing that annoyed me most about this book was the dialog. People simply don't talk this way. 1. e.g.: here's the panicked husband/profiler considering a drop spot: "The upper-level loft supplies a bird's-eye view of the lower floor, rendering it useless." 2. LG uses distracting/puzzling dialog tags: people deadpan, quip, muse, boom, etc. 3. Motivation issues: this terrified husband takes the time to joke with his SIL, and have a testosterone-driven competetive relationship with the lead investigator, then be amused when he trips up. The emotions I expect (panic, fury, grief, confusion etc.) do not come through. Also: why is the SIL detached and jokey? Why is the profiler so glib and sexy? (um, hated the description of her as belonging on a runway...Why???)Finally, I'm not a crime writer so I have no idea how things should go, but there seems to be a lot of expository stuff at an uninterestingly low level. Like the profiler giving a vanilla report that nonetheless floors the negotiator. Or tension between departments working on the case that seems forced and irrelevant.So on to my favorite test...in another writer's hands, could this have been successful? I like the setup of a PTSD heroine fighting an addiction, becoming a victim herself. I also like the little firebug as a sympathetic character. If the good guys had actual personalities, and more urgency were built, sure.Finally, I don't know if these are characters in a series...they read that way. I don't want to check until I'm done with the book though, because it should be able to stand alone even if party of a series.I doubt I'll pick up another LG soon.

    Rainie is kidnapped and Quincy teams up with law enforcement to find her. A little slow start, but picks up and keeps you going.

    Gone is a tightly written thriller where Raine Conner, the wife of former FBI profiler, Pierce Quincy, is abducted. A day later, a troubled little boy who Raine had been working for is also abducted leaving Pierce, his FBI agent daughter, Kimberly, and the local police frantically looking for her. The abductor contacts a local reporter in order to negotiate with him and always seems to be a step ahead of Pierce and the police. Meanwhile, Raine is off anti-depression medication and despite her police training is hardly in shape to save herself.I enjoyed this novel for a variety of reasons. For one, it was action-packed and fast-paced. There was always some new clue or level of drama being introduced in the story. The characters had their flaws, but were also fairly compelling. Raine has to deal with her alcoholism as she’s dealing with trying to free herself and the boy. Easy drama and tension are created by the race the police have to do against time in order to save them. I read a lot of thrillers and many of them tend to blend together, but this is one of the better ones.Carl Alves – author of Blood Street

    Once again, I’ve inadvertently jumped into a series, but this stood pretty well on its own. You find out there’s a bunch of backstory, but it’s really not needed. It was a good, suspense-filled story with just the right amount of red herrings and wrong turns.
