Gone is the latest suspense thriller by Lisa Gardner.

After reading Alone, I was expecting a simliar experience. I didn’t get it.

Not that an author should be tied to writing one style of novel, mind you.

But I do ask that at least the book be entertaining. And Gone wasn’t quite as entertaining as Alone. The middle of the book sags a bit and while there is some suspense, it’s not quite the page-turner that Alone was. Part of it may be that the story often descends into predictability, thus ruining much of the drama since I guessed what was happening next and where things were going.
