The house was silent. That was the first sign that something was terribly wrong.
Fourteen-year-old Cynthia wakes one morning to discover that her entire family – mother, father, brother – have vanished.
No note, no trace and no return. Ever.
Now, twenty-five years later – with a family of her own – a letter arrives which chills Cynthia to the core.
It leads her inescapably down the path to the devastating truth behind why they left.
Sometimes it’s better not to know…

Seamless, breathless and relentlessly pacey, Barclay barely puts a foot wrong
Barclay's enjoyably creepy tale...certainly keeps one turning the pages
NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is a high-speed emotional roller-coaster. The surprises will leave you breathless
Barclay succeeds in both banging the gong and serving up a riveting, rewarding and, for the most part, plausible three courses, though you may need to take a deep breath somewhere around the coffee stage
NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is one of the best thrillers of the year! Utterly riveting, it will grab you on page one and won't let you go until the final, stunning conclusion
NO TIME FOR GOODBYE is a great suburban thriller - and that's not a contradiction in terms. Linwood Barclay doesn't make one false step, and the surprises just keep on coming. Don't start reading GOODBYE late at night: you'll stay up to finish it
A terrific page-turner that keeps you in suspense until the very end. If you like Harlan Coben, you'll love Linwood Barclay
Where has Linwood Barclay been all my life? His is the best thriller I've read in five years. Once I was 30 pages in, I literally couldn't put it down. The writing is crisp; the twists are jolting and completely unexpected
No Time for Goodbye just flies off the page. It's a one-sit thriller. You sit down with this book and you won't get up until you've turned the last page
A fast-moving roller-coaster of a read
A thoughtful study of relationship paranoia and an engrossing whodunnit
