Before She’s Gone
By: Cole Baxter
Narrated by: Meghan Kelly
On the edge of my seat. That is how I was listening to this one. It’s a great psychological thriller that had me wondering from the first chapter. Jacob and Amanda have been married for a while. Totally in love, they each hold secrets that could destroy their relationship. When Jacob’s father dies, things come to a head, and we are on a goose chase to find out what caused him to commit suicide. And what we find out is nothing less than unpredictable. Cole Baxter weaves his tale with thrilling suspense and well developed characters. Jacob is extremely complex and at times difficult to figure out. Amanda is loyal to a fault, yet has her own reservations. And Jacob’s mother is all out crazy. It’s an exciting ride and one you will enjoy!
Meghan Kelly is fantastic as she performs this book. I usually hear her narrating romance, so it’s wonderful to hear her versatility as she reads this one to me. High with her suspense, she builds up the story, keeping us on the edge. Each voice different for each character, she uses her inflections and nuances to keep the story at an exciting level. I enjoyed her story telling.

This story took a while to figure out. It feels as if we start in the middle of the story and work our way out. It is an interesting way to read a book, and it does require some focus. But once I had a handle on how it was written, I began to enjoy the characters. The twists and turns really keep you guessing. Amanda is such a strong character, that when Jacob loses his father, the characters shift focus. I really enjoyed the thought process this book had. It kept me on my toes.
Meghan Kelly delivers a great narration. She is able to keep the story flowing and the characters easy to follow. Meghan brings out the suspense in this book. I look forward to hearing more from her.
This book is an excellent read. I highly recommend.
What a ride! Although I was able to figure out what was going on a bit early, I really enjoyed listening to this book play out. Narration was fantastic and so real I felt like I was watching a movie instead of listening to a book. Such a great book for anyone who likes a bit of suspense in their books.
Strong, believable characters. Shows how the love of 2 people can thrive in sad circumstances
Captivating.
Jacob and Amanda Corey were just your young typical married couple both in careers that they loved, yet to have children. Until one day it all comes crashing down around them. Jacob’s father committed suicide and his cold hearted mother becomes all about the respectable image that needs to be protected. Jacob starts to fall apart and starts displaying unusual behaviour that leaves Amanda keeping her own secrets from Jacob. This was a well written story with plenty of suspense and complex characters and heartache along the way. Recommended reading.
New to me but it is a great book you’re not going to want to put it down
This was a good psychological thriller. Lots of twists and interesting turns.
Terrible editing, way too long. So many grammatical errors, it was really hard to read.
I would have enjoyed this book more after a lot of editing. The reader is subject to all of the main character’s thoughts, many of which are very mundane and unnecessary to the story. I thought the plot was good and original and I read it through to the end despite the endless random thoughts of the heroine. It went way beyond any meaningful character development. Still it was worth reading.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Recommend to anyone who likes psychologically thrillers
Amanda spent more than half the book agonizing over what Jacob’s problem could be. Tedious. It took her almost the rest of the book to figure out what the problem was. Slow moving just like a pre 1945 movie. There is a difference between rain and rein as well as afflict and inflict.
I couldn’t get through the first chapter. I just didn’t care for the writing style.
Hated it. Many typos and grammatical errors. Do Not Recommend
Pure torture. I did manage to finish but Oh my.
Easy read!
Enjoyable
I found this book predictable and a torture to read. The protagonist is difficult to relate to and I never understood the point of the title.
This one deals with adult mental illness and the way a devoted wife hangs in there to help the husband she dearly loves
Didn’t finish. Just not for me
This was one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
