No Time for Goodbye

How does rubbish like this get so popular and garner so much attention? I realise that the Richard and Judy readers are an undemanding lot whose critical standards are non-existent, but this is just woeful. There is no narrative velocity, the writing is pedestrian, the characters poorly developed and the resolution so wildly improbable and unconvincing that it engenders nothing more than frustration and annoyance that a few hours of my valuable time were wasted on reading it. It might have made a decent 250 page novel, with some judicious editing and a bit of juicing up of the suspense, but as a 400-plus page novel it is overlong, flabby, flaccid and dull.

4.5/5 stars. I really enjoyed this book! the characters, the storylinr. Everytime I thought I knew the ending I was way off mark. This was my first ever book From Linwood Barclay and it won`t be the last.

I am a very big fan of suspense in my books that I really did enjoy this one. My first book by this author. this year I have done a large number of firsts. awsome job may pick up more of the same!

This was good! Totally unbelievable at times but definitely entertaining.

I'll definitely try others from this author.

I don't even know where to start. I guess with the ending? Incredible. I'm sitting here sobbing as I've just turned the last page a minute ago. This is one of the best books I have ever read. So many twists and turns... just when you think you've got it figured out, you find out you're wrong. Brilliant.
