About this ebook
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In this unforgettable suspense novel that combines the storytelling talents of Academy Award-winning actor Reese Witherspoon and internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben, a woman is trapped in a deadly conspiracy—where uncovering the truth could cost her everything.
"Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben have delivered a winner. Gone Before Goodbye is a dynamic, riveting and twisty thriller—complete with a heroine that you’ll absolutely love." —Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me
Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan ... until it wasn’t. Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.
Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, one of the world’s most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself—or she will be the next one who is ... Gone Before Goodbye.
"A tour de force thriller that delivers a killer premise and thundering plot with serious emotional punch. Maggie is flawed, compelling and utterly real. Coben and Witherspoon are a dream team! " —Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List

I have read every one of his books and have mostly enjoyed all of them. I am not really sure why he would team up with an actress on this one but I was hopeful it would be up to par with his others. Honestly, it had a lot of fluff to it and was not at all suspenseful. I am disappointed in this one and would recommend you wait to purchase it when it goes on sale. In the future I hope he sticks to authoring his own books and going back to the fast paced suspenseful ones we all love.

Was really engaged in the story til I hit about 45% of the book read. In the space of one chapter the plot became so ridiculous that I just gave up on it. A simply ridiculous plot twist that would just require too much effort to keep following. My wife liked it but I wouldn't recommend it

Convoluted and predictable at the same time. Had the perp pegged upon intro to the person. Difficult to believe scenarios. Nearly everyone is a suspect and all characters incapable if making good or reasonable decisions.
