    About this audiobook

    Richard Kilmer is an ordinary man forced unwittingly to play a terrible game. After proposing to his love, Jennifer Ryan, they take a drive up to Kendrick Falls. Rumor has is that no man has ever gone to the falls with Jen and come back the same. Richard is no exception. Halfway up the mountain, Richard loses control of his car, and it rolls. Richard is shaken, but Jen is gone. Completely missing. He can’t find her, and neither can the police once they’re on the scene. In fact, no one in Richard’s life will even confirm Jen’s existence. Where could she have gone?

      I often can guess who-done-it … not with this book!
    • 5/5
      engaging story peppered with suspense and credible bits of science. recommended
    • 1/5
      Feel Sad about giving up at chapter 10. I am a die hard Andy Carpenter fan. I just couldn't get into this book, don't care for the plot or the characters, had to happen as I hadn't read a single bad book from David Rosenfelt.
    • 3/5
      This book had such a bizarre concept that I knew it couldn't possibly live up to my expectations. To my surprise, it partially succeeded. As the story starts out, Richard Kilmer is a freelance journalist who is crazy about his girlfriend Jennifer. He takes her home to meet her parents, a diamond engagement ring ready in his pocket. After sneaking out to have sex in the family gazebo, he impulsively asks Jennifer to marry him and is overjoyed when she accepts. The next day while they are out driving a freak storm throws their car off the road. When Richard comes to, Jennifer is nowhere to be found. Not only that, no one in the small town remembers her (or Richard). Returning to Jennifer's parents' house he is confronted with her mother who doesn't remember him, and a house that looks nothing like it did earlier. Her daughter, the woman says, died when she was three and her husband committed suicide in the gazebo that [i]used[/i] to be in their back yard. Fearing he is losing his mind, Richard returns home to find all traces of Jennifer gone from their home, and none of his friends her either. The more Richard searches for answers about what happened to him and where Jennifer is, the more questions he finds.

      Alright, with a premise like this there's only so many ways this story could be resolved. Even with that, the plot was interesting and this was a real page-turner of a book. Although there was obviously a conspiracy, I didn't guess who was involved. And the people I thought were involved weren't. So although this story was a bit predictable, it was still told well and held a few surprises. Three and a half stars.
    • 3/5
      Richard Kilmer and his soon-to-be fiancée are visiting her parents in upstate New York. Taking a drive so Jennifer can show Richard some sites in her hometown, they drive into a sudden storm. Richard regains consciousness only to discover that Jennifer has disappeared. When he is released from the hospital he returns to the home of Jennifer’s parents, hoping to find Jennifer safe and sound, or at least to get word of what happened to her. When her mother opens the door, she denies having ever met Richard before. So starts his slow descent into the unreal. Returning to New York he soon discovers that his apartment has miraculously returned to its “pre-Jenn” state and all of his friends have no recollection of Jennifer. As anyone in his situation would, Richard feels he is losing his grip on reality, until a mysterious late night call starts his search for what really happened.

      I know, I know … it sounds like so many other plotlines from so many familiar books and movies. I thought the same thing when I read the book flap. Being a David Rosenfelt fan I felt obligated to at least give it a try. Surprisingly, Mr. Rosenfelt manages to put an interesting 21st century spin on the story. Keeping in mind that this was a bit of a thriller, I could slip through the parts that were a little over the top, and enjoy this book.
    • 3/5
      Once I began this book, I was hooked. Beginning of the book was amazing. I wasn't quite as impressed with the ending. Some gaps that were unexplained. I really like Rosenfelt's stand alone books as much as the Andy Carpenter series. Thought the latest one Airtight was better. But still a very good read.
    • 3/5
      Although I love the Andy Carpenter series. I must admit that this one kept my attention and I enjoyed the ride.
