Cynthia Archer, 14 years old, is discovered in a car with an older boy by her father and she and her father argues and Cynthia screams that she hates her parents. When she woke up the next morning she discovers that she is all alone, her father, mother and brother have all disappeared.
25 years later Cynthia is trying to find the answers to what happened all those years ago and agrees to do a dramatisation for TV, hoping that someone will have the answers and to get her family back. Once aired it becomes clear that someone does not want Cynthia to investigate the disappearance of her family and she, and her own family, comes under threat.

At first this was a very exciting book and I liked the way it was written and the suspense was built up in a very thrilling way, urging me to read on. Sadly, this was not kept for the second part of the book and it sort of died on its arse becoming very predictable and all the excitement just vanished, very much like Cynthia Arher's family. All in all it wasn't a bad book - it just became one of the others, the ones that are all alike and one that I will have forgotten in a not too distant future. Read it if you fancy something familiar but be warned - bring another book to read as soon as you finish No Time for Goodbye.
