Description

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 really wanted to like this book but there were too many twists and turns to even keep up with. The book ended and I just stared at the final page trying to figure out what even happened. Answer: not a clue.
  • Read it!

    And each more absurd than the last. But that’s to be expected from Harlan Coben. What I didn’t expect was all the padding: the tedious disquisitions on art and AI. Luckily that means that you can skip a lot without missing anything.
  • Major fail…

    Awful. There was no plot and the storytelling was terrible. Don’t waste your money or time on this one.
  • A fun psychological thriller

    Read it in one night. Enjoyed it until the end, there were a lot of flaws in the writing, confusing plot twists and too much going on. But overall a good read.
  • Don’t bother
