Gone Without a Trace is a compelling psychological thriller and a terrific read.
Gripping from the beginning, cleverly plotted & with lots of twists and turns, I finished it in three days as couldn't wait to find out what happened.
Highly recommended and I would read more by this author.

Thank you!

I enjoyed reading this book and was anxious to find out why Matt, the boyfriend of main character Hannah, had disappeared and seemingly removed all traces of his existence from Hannah's life. I did feel that the story went on a little too long at some points, but it generally kept my interest and was very well written and intriguing. However, when it took a dark turn, I found it a little too dark, although it certainly made sense in the flow of the plot. I also could have done without the final few sentences; seemed a bit tiresome to me. But all in all, I'm glad to have read it and would recommend it. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance e-copy.

This book was certainly jaw dropping as the blurb entices the reader to want to read this book. It kept my attention as I kept on wondering just what had happened to Matt, Hannah's boyfriend. All of the characters are intense and appealing. You cannot help but become fixated on each and every character. When the truth is revealed about where Matt is that's when everything goes topsy turvy. The reader is left with an unexpected twist. The twist and the flash backs are well timed in the story and the ending is just one that left me with that 'whoa' reaction. Makes me wonder if there's going to be a sequel. It was a fantastic read! I really enjoyed it.

What a bizarre book or maybe it was just my reaction to it. Hannah comes home from a conference and finds her boyfriend Matt has moved out. He not only moved out, he took everything that he had brought into the house and moved her stuff back to where it was.
Hannah freaks out. The effort that she made to find him was baffling to me. She let her entire life slip off a cliff to answer this question. Just let him go! But, weird things keep happening to her. Texts, someone taking pictures of her out running, letters in the mail. Is it Matt (Why would it be Matt?)
She leans on her friends Katie and James who often don't believe the weird things she says are being done.
At this point, I almost stopped reading because her obsessive desire to track Matt down was just too weird.
Then, about halfway through, we find out about her childhood. The interest went up again.
The book is well-written, easy to read and I would get home from work to read more. It's hard to explain my revulsion for the character but enjoying the plot.

This dramatic and emotionally intense story unfolds as details about a complex character and details of her life begin to slowly being to emerge as she searches for her boyfriend who has strangely and mysteriously disappeared.
Imagine that you’ve come home from a day-long business trip, expecting to see your romantic partner whom you’ve shared a home for the past four year. When you get there, you are shocked to discover that every last trace of them has disappeared, down to the ketchup bottle in the refrigerator!
Would you go about regular routine to try and get over it, or would you let it consume you, day after day, affecting your friendships and your work? In this slowing unfold story, which slowly intensifies, we meet Hannah, who is going through this situation with few friends and co-workers. As we read through her story, the details are finally thrown at us at a mind-boggling pace with a sobering ending, about domestic violence and the lingering effects on other beyond the victim themselves.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity.

I was really intrigued in the first few chapters when Matt completely vanishes but as the story went on, I got extremely bored with Hannah and her search for him. After months of her obsession, it was easy to feel for the few friends and coworkers who were trying to help her move on.

Towards the 2/3 mark, there is a pretty good twist but it didn't take long for me to lose interest with her once again. It actually made me like her even less and felt like it made her seem even more pathetic. I have to say, I definitely didn't see the ending coming.

Unbelievably fantastic. I never saw it coming. Torjuseen does for books what M. Night Shyamalan did for the "Sixth Sense." "Gone Without a Trace" is a phenomenal psychological thriller. Be prepared to be astonished. I normally see endings coming a mile away but this one had me on the edge of precipice until the big reveal and then I was hanging over the edge, heart beating waiting for it all to wrap up.

Hannah is successful and has just been told she will be up for promotion. She is hyped up on positive energy and excitement but it is all about to turn into a black sea of turmoil. She arrives home ready to celebrate, a bottle of wine in her hand when she notices that EVERY SINGLE THING that her boyfriend, Matt owns is gone. There is no trace of Matt or his belongs, furthermore all evidence of him is gone. There are no photos, his social media is wiped out and her home looks exactly the way it did before Matt moved in but where is Matt? There is no "Dear John" letter, he has vanished.

Hannah falls into despair and makes is her mission to locate, Matt. She becomes obsessive and creates her own circle of madness. Her work life begins to suffer and her relationship with others becomes further constricted Hannah's own personal health begins to suffer and her compulsiveness to locate Matt and get answers becomes unnerving. Her anguish and despair runs of the pages and it becomes evident that Hannah will do whatever it takes to find, Matt --- no matter the cost.

Hannah is an unreliable narrator, who keeps you guessing and pulls you into her world, making you empathetic and confused.

Expect a long day/night of reading because I couldn't put this book down until it concluded.

I really enjoyed this book since for once ( and very rare these days so it seems.....where the BOY is lost & NOT the girl. I believe for me, this was part of the major reason I enjoyed it!

It was a page turner for me with multiple twists & turns. It starts when Hannah realizes all her boyfriend's things are missing & their texts to each other are included!! She wasn't hearing or receiving texts from him, all pictures were gone....everything! As if he never existed

She starts searching for him but the journey isn't easy, she goes deeper & deeper & this is what turns into the "page turning, must find out why" parts, come in the book

Makes for a very good reading experience. D highly recommend this book esp. for those who like twists & turns in a mystery---this has many of those. Deeply layered I kept asking myself, while reading----would I honestly go this far? How far would I really go, before giving up, or hoping I'd be successful?

Many thanks to Berkeley publishers for allowing me this early release---much appreciated!

A lot of psychological thrillers these days are touted as "jaw-dropping" but Gone Without A Trace actually delivers on its claim. The story moves quickly, and I couldn't put it down! There were a few points where I thought it was a tad predictable, but then something else would happen and I'd be gripped again. Definitely an author to keep my eye on!

Review coming as soon as I have read the book. Once it's read, it will be reviewed on my blog, amazon, and Goodreads. It will then be shared to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Suspense thriller at its best! Loved the action, drama, and twists/turns of this riveting story.

No matter what throughout Gone Without a Trace I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. No matter how stupid Hannah, our "heroine" was acting I was so "into" the story I had to see what came next. Ms Torjussen kept me guessing until the final pages. Will certainly be reading more by this author. I was given an early copy to review.

Great fast paced thriller that had me hooked from page one. This book was well written and had me guessing until the end. Lots of layers to the book- the more you read the less you know who you can trust! Makes one wonder how far they would go to find someone they loved and trusted who disappeared?
