Wow! What a book! This is no doubt one of the best books that I have ever read! A gripping psychological thriller that takes you on a roller-coaster ride!

The police suspect Emily. And when she finds Sandy’s dead body, the police are now sure that she is somehow involved in the murder. Cal, Paolo’s softball teammate and friend, initially blames Emily for Paolo’s issues in life. But he decides to help her when he realizes that Emily is telling the truth about her non-involvement in the tragedy.

And in the middle of all this drama involving Sandy and Paolo, a mysterious murder in a remote town in Tennessee comes into the picture. This is followed by another incident, where the victim was allegedly set on fire by the perp but the victim survived. The victim names Matt, Paolo’s colleague at the lab, as the perp. Sandy was also killed because she mentioned Matt’s involvement in Paolo’s disappearance. So what is Matt’s involvement in these murders and Paolo’s disappearance?

After a couple of twists and shocking incidents, Emily’s life is like a roller-coaster ride! I absolutely loved R.J.Jacob’s writing style. The author definitely knows how to keep his readers hooked on to the book till the end. The language is clear and concise. The story development is absolutely fantastic. The ending is superb and thrilling! There was a short twist in the end which made the story even more exciting.

And Then You Were Gone is a gripping and engaging page-turner and I highly recommend it to all those who love to read thrillers.
