Editorial Review:

A gorgeous young woman. Her mousy roommate. The sister who rarely visits. And a mysterious string of murders befalling the former members of a prep-school sports team who were involved years ago in the gang rape of a teenage girl. Investigative reporter Julie Adams knows that the unresolved rape case, these three elusive women, and the series of deaths are all connected. Adams was assigned to the case seven years earlier, on the very day that budding actress Lindsey Barratt was savagely assaulted by eleven schoolboys on her train ride home. When it became clear that the boys would never answer for their crimes, a still-weak Lindsey quietly fled her intensive care room, never to be heard from again. In recent months, however, Julie Adamss keen mind has locked onto a shocking and titillating pattern: All but one of the victims have been killed in bizarre accidents and more often than not, their deaths involved an unusual sexual twist and a stunning, but unidentified, woman.

A roller-coaster ride of shock and surprise, this unforgettable suspense thriller will surely be the must-read, must-figure-it-out book of the year.

A tautly surprising thriller. 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a thinking person's mystery. The "whodunit" is not really a mystery for most of the book, but the narrative is bold, unpredictable, and ultimately very rewarding for those who enjoy the thriller genre, especially those who admit to a taste for reading about serial killers. Jolly good show.

Editorial Review:

Is it crime...

Seven years ago, a young woman named Lyndsey Barratt was viciously attacked by a gang of ruthless teenage athletes, a scandalous case that made national headlines. But before justice could be done, the victim vanished without a trace...Now, one by one, those same tormentors are dying. Coincidence? Or could it be some dark angel wreaking bloody vengeance?

Or punishment?

Only one of Lyndsey's attackers is still alive. But for how long? It's up to two friendly adversaries, investigative journalist Julie Adams and by-the-book Inspector Frank Illiffe, to uncover the deadly truth in a heart-stopping case that will lead them beyond the bounds of their darkest imaginings.

A stunning thriller of retribution and psychological terror that races toward an explosive ending, The Disappearance of Lyndsey Barratt will leave you guessing until the final shocking page.
