Good Half Gone

De: Tarryn Fisher

Narrado por: Tara Sands

"The ending shattered me in a way only Tarryn Fisher can!” —Colleen Hoover

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Never Never

Iris Walsh saw her twin sister get kidnapped—so why does no one believe her?

Iris narrowly escaped her twin sister’s fate as a teen: abducted in broad daylight and long gone before she could convince the cops there was anything to investigate. With Piper presumed a runaway and no evidence to go on but Iris’s scattered memories, the case quickly goes cold.

Ever since that terrible day, Iris’ search for Piper has bordered on obsession. Chasing leads across years and following clues that all seem to point to a single name, Iris does everything she can to get close to the only person who might know the answer to the question that still haunts her: where did Piper go? And if the police still won’t help, she’ll just have to find the answer herself--using her criminal psychology degree to intern at the isolated psychiatric hospital on Shoal Island, where secrets lurk in the shadows and are kept under lock and key. But Iris soon realizes that something even more sinister is simmering beneath the surface of the Shoal, and that the patients aren’t the only ones being observed…

HUGE Dissapointment

I am a HUGE fan of Tarryn Fisher and was so looking forward to this book, this is my first time ever giving her books a 3-star rating. I so wanted a book hangover like I normally do with her books, but this book was not as dark and twisted as I hoped it would be and the storyline seemed to drag on and on and on. The book only got exciting toward the last hour of the book and then the ending was too quick, not very believable and to me anyway very predictable.

The narrator I was not a fan of but tolerable.

I am so sad to leave this review :(

Outstanding read/Listen!

I just finished listening to Good Half Gone and I'm so sad it's over! It was such an intense thriller! I had to know what happened to Piper. I could not put this book down. From beginning to end I was sucked it. The ending really took off and blew my mind! I didn't see any of it coming and it shocked me! Such a great read! This is now one of my favorite reads!

The narrator did a fantastic job and really brought the characters to life.

I highly recommend!

Terrible Audio voices

This story was all over the place, to a point where it was not enjoyable, Too many characters and content that were unnecessary.

I miss the Tarryn Fisher who wrote Marrow & Mud Vein

I don't know if I've changed too much as a reader or if she's changed as a writer (or maybe both). This feels like a relationship when two people started out super close but have grown in completely different directions and are no longer compatible. I almost want to listen to those two books again just to see if I still see in them what I once saw. I read them each twice in the first couple of years after discovering them. Tarryn Fisher was the writer I would check every few months to see if there was a new book...and feel disappointed when there wasn't. I had never read "romance," but after Mud Vein, as I was waiting for the audio version of Marrow, I voraciously consumed every one of her books. Dirty Red (that whole series)...Never Never...anything with her name on it was an instant yes. Marrow was an instant favorite. I'd have said those two books were my favorites and she was the writer I would recommend to anyone looking for something new, something not formulaic, something with feeling, something slightly (or even very) dark and mysterious, cerebral.

I'm not sure what happened, but each new book for the past several years, I have enjoyed less and less. The writing style is still great. The voices she gives the characters are still engaging, and I'm never bored...she keeps my interest, but when it's all said and done, I'm left disappointed at the story itself. This one really just didn't work at all for me. It felt simultaneously predictable and wildly implausible. I picked up the "twist" almost right away, but kept thinking there's no way that's possible. That would just be dumb. That's impossible. No way is she going where it seems she's leading...but she did. I knew exactly how she was going to find out. Nothing was a surprise, yet it was all surprising because it was just so bizarre and unbelievable. As others have pointed out, the end also felt incredibly rushed. All of this setup and just no payoff. It was so anticlimactic that I just sat there for a minute wondering if I had missed an entire section of the book, but I knew I hadn't. It just felt as if I had.

Again, throughout the whole thing, starting at the island, I knew what was coming, but hoped I was wrong...and I wasn't. I hate that feeling, especially about a book from an author that I absolutely idolized and could do no wrong at one point. And of course, every author is going to have some that resonate and some that don't, but this is a trend.

I will still always click on a T.F. novel when it first comes out. She earned that with all of the books that made me fall in love with her. But with each one, I'm less and less excited and more...I don't even know how to describe it...resigned, maybe? Resigned that there's no way it's going to be up there in my "books that blew my mind" list...and yet still hoping, hoping, hoping that I'm going to be wrong just the same way I hoped this story wasn't going to take the turn it did. I still love TF...I hope the next one connects, because I'm so sad right now.

Just... wow!

This book held me in its clutches from the beginning to the end! Tarryn Fisher can tell a damn story!
