About this audiobook
No Goodbye When Leonard Franks and his wife, Ellie, leave London for their dream retirement in the seclusion of Dartmoor, everything seems perfect. But then their new life is shattered. Leonard heads outside to fetch firewood from the back of the house - and never returns. No Trace Nine months later, with the police investigation at a dead end, Leonard's family turn to David Raker - a missing persons investigator with a gift for finding the lost. But nothing can prepare Raker for what he's about to uncover. Nowhere to Hide Because at the heart of this disappearance lies a devastating secret. And by the time Raker realises what it is, and how deep the lies go, it's not just him in danger - it's everyone he cares about.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As always Richard North Patterson makes you want to read, and makes you want to keep turning the pages. This isn't one of his best, but even his average is higher than most. I've griped about the star ratings before; this is a 7 . It's a clever "was it murder, if so, who-dun-it and why, and given a limited list of candidates, there are enough twists, turns and red herrings to satisfy. Patterson also provides a fair dose of legal stuff to remind us of some of his best stuff. By the way if you have not read "Eclipse" yet, I urge you to seek it out!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting story of family and how it is affected by death of father. Is it suicide or murder?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Adam Blaine is summoned from his job as a covert agent in Afghanistan when his father dies unexpectedly. Even in death, his narcissistic father manages to give the middle finger to the family one last time. Adam, the runaway son who left home 10 years before and never looked back, is named as executor of Ben's estate. In addition to the shock of his father's final disrespect, Adam is disturbed that the police think the death was a murder. When the police suspect his family, Adam doesn't really care if one of them did it, he just doesn't want them to be punished. They suffered enough when his father was alive. This is classic Richard North Patterson. I loved it from beginning to end. Dennis Boutsikaris is an excellent narrator. Even though his voice is sort of nasal, it works. :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There are authors you read that give you a good story and then there are authors like Richard North Patterson, James Lee Burke, Lee Child and Vince Flynn (to name a few) who you KNOW that no matter what subject they choose to write about, you will be capitavated until the bitter end. I say "bitter" because you don't want these stories to end. Fall from Grace flows from the first sentence to the last. Writers of this caliber know how to write a story you've never read before and write it well. I believe he's left this main character to return another day. More to which I can look forward.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5lots of twists that make this a very good plot. although I can't believe Adam will hold his secrets much past the last pages...
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I first started reading this author many years ago when he wrote mystery suspense. I remember being blown away by Eyes of a Child. He than started writing political novels often with a moral dilemma and I absolutely loved his Protect and Defend. In Fall from Grace he writes about the psychological peeling of a narcissist, the sons who hate him, a murder or suicide and the secrets of a sorely dysfunctional family. Found this novel to be absolutely fascinating.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When a famous novelist in New England dies violently, family secrets begin to unravel.Benjamin Blaine is about to be burried. His son Adam returns from Afghanistan where he is with the CIA. He arrives for his father's funeral and shortly thereafter learns that his father changed his will and removed his wife and Adam's other brother from the will.Adam is asked to be the executor and police want to know if Ben fell from a cliff on his property or did he commit suicide or was he murdered.In working with the police, Adam feels that he also has to protect his mother and brother from the investigation.This is a slow moving story that can be discouraging. Benjamin Blaine was an unlikable character and most of the other characters aren't that much better. I found the dialogue didn't match the characters where even people in a fishing village spoke with the same educated vocabulary as a Yale graduate.The author did keep my curiosity as I wanted to see how the story would end.
