Long Time Gone by Charlie Donlea


What Amazon says:

When DNA results reveal a disturbing connection to the mysterious disappearance of a famous baby nearly three decades ago, a woman’s search for answers draws her to an ominous small town in Nevada and a dangerous web of corruption, power, and lies in this engrossing, propulsive new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later.

My own review and Summary:

She decides to visit this powerful family to solve the mysterious disappeance of her parents and who was the lady who gave her up for adoption.She is then approached by the son of the sheriff who was killed while trying to solve the mysterious car accident and  the disappearance of her parents 30 years ago.

To summarize the whole story, the victim of the car accident was the accountant who suspected someone was malversing the funds of this powerful family. He was clubbed to death and the murderer used her mother's car to run him over. The sheriff during that time was murdered when he suspected foul play. When her parents found out this deceitful way on trying to pin the murder on her mother, they too were murdered.

It was her uncle, her father's brother who was stealing from his family because of his severe drug problem, As mentioned earlier he had to murder his brother and sister-in-law because of this knowlege. He hired a woman to give the baby(Our main character) for adoption. After the deed was done, he also murdered her. Eventually , he also killed his parents.

It was a very good novel but for some reason it was not as enticing as the other book this author made.
