One of those novels which is difficult to put down – ‘just a few more pages before I sleep’. 

Since I read it, news (and not so new) stories on the same theme keep jumping out on me. Men mysteriously disappear and their abandoned wives eventually have them declared dead so they and their children can move on with their lives. ‘When you Disappeared’ has a then-and-now approach to the story which gradually fills in a span of 28 years.

The people are multi-faceted and real with the minutiae of their lives bringing them into clear focus without being mundane – shockingly far from mundane at times! The twists of the plot were a little complex for me so I occasionally needed to go back to an earlier part. For everyone keen on psychological thrillers this book will be a real hit.

Brilliant! Loved it from beginning to end! The story is intense, compelling, and completely unpredictable! I thought the twists and turns where quite in the style of the master Hitchcock himself! The pace and flow are perfection and you won't be bored! I wasn't expecting the surprising and harrowing end!
