Gone is the fifth book in the Jack Caffrey series but only the first I’ve read, and it held up just fine as a stand-alone. Caffrey is a Detective Inspector with Bristol’s Major Crime unit, and he has been called in to investigate what appears to be a routine carjacking. Though there was an eleven-year-old girl in the car, Caffrey feels confident that the carjacker isn’t interested in her and that she will turn up shortly. When the police receive an anonymous note, however, it quickly becomes evident that the situation is far worse than he expected. This is a dark, gritty and compelling mystery that really kept me guessing. I‘ve read my fair share of mysteries, but Gone had a twist that I never saw coming! ~Torrie
