Synopsis

Terry lands at San Francisco International Airport ready to start his new life with Sarah, the American journalist he married after a transatlantic love affair. But Sarah’s a no show. Convinced something terrible has happened, Terry reports Sarah’s disappearance to the sheriff, who shrugs it off as a case of a new bride with cold feet. But then dead women start turning up, all with two things in common: each victim had exposed a scandal just before her death…and all of their names appear on a list written by Sarah. As a journalist, Sarah has revealed her share of scandals, and Terry realizes that she’s not missing — she’s on the run. As his American dream rapidly descends into a waking nightmare, Terry must plunge headlong into the dark recesses of his new homeland to find Sarah before the killer does. But as he nears the truth about Sarah, he realizes she’s very different from the woman he thought he married.

Simon Wood’s NO SHOW is a by-the-numbers mystery that reads like a made-for-TV movie.

Gripping from the start This was a great crime-mystery-thriller. I was kept on my toes through the whole story. I loved the characters, they were all well-rounded, believable and easy to fall for. If you love suspense, definitely grab a copy.......more

Goodreads review by Lynda on October 21, 2016

The author left this book perhaps open for a sequel as he did The One That Got Away, another 5* read for me. There were definitely things left "hanging" that could maybe resolved in another story featuring Terry and Oscar. Oscar was probably my favourite character. What a nice guy, although I though......more

Starts off exciting, but grows increasingly irritating as the plot progresses. This is mainly due to two things: 1. The woman the protagonist is fighting to find just does not seem owrth finding. Everyone he talks to dislikes her, she seems to have no redeeming quality except her good looks. As a rea......more
