Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML: In this original novella from the #1 internationally bestselling author of Never Look Away, sometimes the only thing you can't see is the truth. Keisha Ceylon, last seen in Linwood Barclay's blockbuster thriller No Time for Goodbye, has perfected her routine.

Now Keisha is about to ring the doorbell of a home where a man waits for news--any news--about his missing wife. So the dance between the con woman and the victim's husband begins. But Keisha, blinded by her ability to separate people from their money, has no idea what she is walking into, how many lies and secrets swirl around her, and what kind of danger she should have seen coming--before it is too late.

Very intriguing-could not put it down. A few twists, not altogether expected. I found a little bit of a cliff hanger ending, as it left you wondering if the police would find Keisha out!

Oh, Mr. Barclay. You make the kind of books that stick with a person and make them feel uneasy for days. I love them.

When Ellie goes missing, her husband and daughter appear on tv to plead for her to come back or for whoever has taken her to let her go. Keisha is a “psychic” who is planning to visit Wendell (Ellie's husband) to offer to “help” him for a fee.

This is a super-short novella and I really

enjoyed it. I didn't want to put it down! I do like that he repeats characters in different books – not enough that you need to remember them, but I still think it's a cool idea (Keisha was apparently in No Time for Goodbye). I was a little disappointed in the abrupt ending, but it wasn't enough for me to lower my rating.

I knew this book was shorter than most books I've read, and I was expecting to be done with it by evening, at the latest. But I finished it just under 2 hours.

It was a very simple murder story, with the author not going into as much detail as other books I've read. The story unfolded very quickly,

and ended as quickly.

The book ends in a cliffhanger that I would have liked to know more about. I know that the author's intention was to probably keep the reader at suspense, but that would have worked better if this book had a second part to it.

It was ok story-wise, and the result of Keyshia and Wendell's face-off made me cringe (due to the happening, not because of the story!).

Easy predictable quick read with a good plot.
