About this listen

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES • “Gone for Good contains more plot twists than you can count, with a jarring revelation in nearly every chapter. . . . [Harlan] Coben has crafted a taut thriller with a slew of compelling characters. . . . As subtle as a shotgun, and just as effective.”—San Francisco Chronicle

As a boy, Will Klein had a hero: his older brother, Ken. Then, on a warm suburban night in the Kleins’ affluent New Jersey neighborhood, a young woman—a girl Will had once loved—was found brutally murdered in her family’s basement. The prime suspect: Ken Klein. With the evidence against him overwhelming, Ken simply vanished. And when his shattered family never heard from Ken again, they were sure he was gone for good.

Now eleven years have passed. Will has found proof that Ken is alive. And this is just the first in a series of stunning revelations as Will is forced to confront startling truths about his brother—and himself. As a violent mystery unwinds around him, Will knows he must press his search all the way to the end. Because the most powerful surprises are yet to come.

“Coben stands on the accelerator and never lets up. . . . The action is seamless, clear, and riveting.”—People (Page-turner of the Week)

Loved every bit of this

Great story, great everything. Loved the twists and turns and that ending phew. The epilogue needs to be explored as I missed something but great overall.

Stick with it

Thinking I wouldn’t like this story and finding it to be more than worthwhile, a bit graphic, but the pace the prose and the cleverness kept me gripped to the end.

Complex characters bring this story to life

Harlan Coben is unmatched in bringing complex characters to life. He gives full body to even minor side characters so that you can be fully immersed in the world he has created. Johnathan Marosz was a captivating narrator and I will definitely be watching for his name on future readings. Gone For Good brings you a riveting, winding mystery that will keep you listing to the final syllabel.

Good storyline, but a bit confusing at times

the story had a lot going on, and made it a bit confusing at times. the narrator was short and staccato, but I think that was mostly due to the style the book was written in. I did enjoy the plot however, give it a try!
