Publisher's summary

What if the client who's hired you can't be trusted...and the woman you're looking for doesn't want to be found? With Then She Vanished, three-time Edgar Award winner and New York Times best-selling author T. Jefferson Parker delivers a new and pulse-pounding thriller.

Private Investigator Roland Ford has taken a job for a fellow Marine and a rising politician, Dalton Strait. Strait is contending with unexplained bombings of government buildings in his district...but that is not why he hired Ford. Strait's wife, Natalie, has gone missing, leaving behind a cryptic plea for help. Strait has made many enemies during his time in politics - including some of his own family members - all of whom could be looking for revenge. But as Ford digs into the details of a troubled marriage, Natalie's disappearance becomes more and more complicated.

Meanwhile, the bombings in the city intensify, with a mysterious group known only as the Chaos Committee claiming responsibility. Ford soon learns that the seemingly random attacks may be connected to the case he's on - and suddenly, his hunt for a missing woman might decide the fate of an entire city.

Critic reviews

“The plot is as well crafted as it is thought provoking. Parker writes with confidence, insight, and real humanity.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"Parker’s incisive character portraits and smooth, confident prose make his latest thriller taut and engaging.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“The atmospheric SoCal setting provides a brilliant contrast to what Ford calls a “republic of violence,” rife with grievances and a gun in every hand to address them.” (Booklist)

Couldn’t get interested

The Narrator was good. Performance was good.
I didn’t finish as I couldn’t follow the story, just not for me.

It helped past time

It started slow and never really got me going. Listened to the whole thing, thinking it would grab me. It was an ok story. The teller was great. But just not there for me.

Great narration so so story

Story was kind of all over the place with some implausible plot lines and a lot of angst that didn’t ring true. I it was saved by excellent narration

Not very captivating

Ending was predictable. Story wasn’t that interesting. I don’t recommend this title, keep looking for something else

Uneventful

I normally like T Jefferson Parker’s books, however, this audio book was uninteresting. This book prattling on and on about to details. This book veered off course so many times, we fast forward to the last hour (after 2 hours of listening) to see how it was wrapped up. Again, uneventful.
