About this deal

This book was just okay. It's a thriller. Cynthia's 14 when her mom, dad, and older brother disappear one night. Their cars are missing. Their beds aren't slept in. There's no trace of them. It may be a cliché to say that this novel is impossible to put down, but for me that was true. I started reading No Time late one evening -- a mistake -- and I was damned if I was going to let my fatigue stop me from finishing. This meant brewing a mug of very strong coffee past midnight, just so I could finish Barclay’s haunting tale. Were they murdered? Kidnapped? Did they leave and abandon their daughter? It's three decades later and no one has any idea. But Cynthia is permanently scarred by what happened and she's living with the damage, which is affecting her marriage and her 8-year-old daughter, who is overprotected by Cynthia. I absolutely loved this story, it took a little while to get drawn into the story but once the sound of keys typing during the middle of the night I was completely hooked. There’s nothing scarier than a simple every day sound being hear when there’s no reasonable explanation on what’s causing it!

But when Charlotte brought a vintage typewriter home for Paul – so he could record all the events in a cathartic way, perhaps turning it into a book – his problems became much worse. The noises from downstairs were coming from his think room, where the typewriter had been put – but there was no one there. Charlotte didn’t hear a thing. As Paul formed ideas, then discarded them, then formed more, he decided he would talk to people involved, to see if he could make any sense of what was happening to him. There had to be a rational explanation – didn’t there? The story of No Time for Goodbye is gripping and suspenseful, with plenty of unexpected twists throughout." What happens later in the book is just to unbelievable for me to say any more lets just say Clayton is found & remarried to Enid who is one bitter old lady who has her own agenda I didn't like her at all.The typewriter involved in the crime was never found. Could this possibly be the same machine? Are the victims typing messages to Paul? Se lee muy rápido porque necesitas saber qué ocurrió con los padres y el hermano de la protagonis Next thing he recalls is waking up with a head injury that has robbed him of some of his short-term memories. But maybe there’s more damage than just missing memories. Terry is determined to find answers for his heartbroken wife and starts his own investigation after Cynthia leaves with Grace following an evening of arguing. The countless twists and turns take Terry all over the map as he is led to one piece of the puzzle after another, until, finally, they all come together, to form the whole picture perfect puzzle.

It occurred to me that with all of today's technologies, there were now more ways than ever to know with abosolute certainty that no one wanted to get in touch with me” After spending his formative years helping run a cottage resort and trailer park after his father died when he was 16, Barclay got his first newspaper job at the Peterborough Examiner, a small Ontario daily. In 1981, he joined the Toronto Star, Canada’s largest circulation newspaper.Good lord, though, was this ever written in blunt pencil. Simplistic, repetitive. Bland characters. Characters who blink a lot. "Charlotte blinked three times." It's my new pet peeve. I don't need to read about characters' eyelid action, okay? Everyone blinks. It goes without saying, or should, at least. If I referenced a Dodge Neon, I have no memory of it. The Accident and Trust Your Eyes were both written more than a decade ago. I probably just grabbed the name out of thin air. My thriller totally devoted to cars is last year's Look Both Ways, and
