This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Gone in the Night is the first book I have read by this author.

In this story, we find the victim of a car crash begs journalist Alex Devlin for help before disappearing without a trace, Alex finds herself caught up in a mystery that won’t let her go. Determined to find the missing man, she is soon investigating a conspiracy that threatens some of the most vulnerable members of society.

There are enough twists and turns to keep you reading until the very end.

Be aware this is the fourth book in a series, and you might find it more enjoyable to have read previous books.

It's an entertaining read, that can grip you in places, but I didn't struggle to tear myself away if something else came along. Ideal for reading by a pool.

I wanted to like this book but there are reasons that I am DNFing it. One of them is the big glaring problem of this being fourth in the series and there's nothing, absolutely nothing, saying that this is fourth in the series. I did not enjoy the writing style, which is the second reason that I am DNFing the book, and had no connection to the book at all.

I really tried to get into this book! I don't know if it was the writing style or the author just isn't to my taste, but I did not finish this. Now in all fairness, I haven't read the first three books in this series, so I did not have any character investment, which may make a huge difference! LOVE the cover, which drew me in. I may give the first book in the series a shot in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC to review!

Really enjoyed this book and found it highly gripping. I finished it in just over a day. The writing style drew me in and made me want to keep reading another chapter. Definitely looking forward ti reading more from the author!

Gone in the Night is a superb slow-burn of a thriller with an interesting, absorbing plot. It was very easy reading with a suspenseful and intense build up to the end with a few plot plot twists that I didn’t see coming. The characters were likeable and pulled on my emotions and kept me turning the pages.

This is the 4th book in a series to feature Alex Devlin. You can easily read this as a stand alone. The author does a great job of recapping important details the reader needs to know to follow the story.

"When the victim of a car crash begs journalist Alex Devlin for help before disappearing without trace, Alex finds herself caught up in a mystery that wont let her go."

The author give details throughout the story that keeps you wondering and guessing what will happen. It is all wrapped up beautifully at the end.

If you like a good mystery/thriller I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy for an honest review.

When I started this book I was confused. The first three chapters focused on each introducing a different situation. And I wondered what these three characters had to do with one other and if I could easily follow what was going on.

The story was quite predictable. I liked it but I wouldn't say I really enjoyed or found it to be an engaging read. My niggle is that the characters weren't strongly portrayed - not trusting your gut instincts is a bummer for me!

Thank you Netgalley, Mary-Jane Riley and it’s publisher for the arc in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and are completely unbiased.

While I did enjoy this read, I found its premise to be a little mediocre and predictable. I still overall enjoyed this book to finish it, I just wasn’t completely glued.

Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read a complementary copy of this book in return for review based upon my honest opinion.

This was a great rainy long weekend read. Sitting in our cosy cabin watching the rain and reading a good book with a cup of cocoa; what could be better. This was a good story, lots of twists and turns; no one was who they said they were, with a great conclusion.

Absolutely fantastic I enjoyed it from start to finish I love Alex and would love to find out more about what makes her so passionate about her job the riders are such a weird family and they prove that power and money makes people think there invincible I love the homeless connection and the facts that homeless people do disappear and nobody takes an interest very well thought out the ending was also very well thought out as not all stories have a happy ending I have downloaded the next book in the series

This is a mystery where the storytelling and descriptions are plentiful. Unfortunately, the plot isn't that good, and the book is rather boring.

My first book by the author and although is #4 in the series I could easily read it in a few hours and understand where everyone's coming from.
A fast-paced, suspenseful read that kept me wanting more and not stopping because I found the story very entrailing as there are so many issues that our society is still dealing with nowadays as it is PTSD and what happens with the retired soldiers.
The characters were reliable and the writing was very good as well.
i will make time to read the previous books as well for sure.

I think this book was really good until the ending, I feel it was pretty lackluster after all the drama. That being said the led up and the intensity was good

This book is light reading, while it raised some social issues, it was primarily a mystery with pretty obvious villans. Interesting enough but it was too "one note" for me, needed more obvious voices of the different characters, more emotional/suspenseful peaks. 3.5 rating

Thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It was well written and flowed well and was easy to read. One you won’t want to end
