Gone by Leona Deakin
4.0

It's your birthday Wahoo!!! You get a card through your door, you have no idea who sent it, you open it, it is plain white, but inside is a message!

YOUR GIFT IS THE GAME.
DARE TO PLAY?

That is all the police have, a birthday card, and they are not really *that* worried about a person going missing, it is an adult after all, they probably have their reasons.

But, as more and more people are coming forward to say that their loved ones have received the same card and have also gone missing, psychologist and private detective Dr. Augusta Bloom, realises that this is more than just a silly game, this is turning into something very dangerous indeed.

With 2 story-lines running simultaneously alongside each other, a very clever story emerges, why would these people just up-and-leave? What is the game? and why are they only targeting certain people?

A great thriller to keep you your toes
