Gone Before Goodbye

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

An unforgettable suspense novel that combines the storytelling talents of Academy Award-winning actor Reese Witherspoon and internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben. Gone Before Goodbye is the story of a woman trapped in a deadly conspiracy--where uncovering the truth could cost her everything.

Maggie McCabe is teetering on the brink. A highly skilled and renowned Army combat surgeon, she has always lived life at the edge, where she could make the most impact. And it was all going to plan ... until it wasn't.

Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion. At her lowest point, she is thrown a lifeline by a former colleague, an elite plastic surgeon whose anonymous clientele demand the best care money can buy, as well as absolute discretion.

Halfway across the globe, sequestered in the lap of luxury and cutting-edge technology, one of the world's most mysterious men requires unconventional medical assistance. Desperate, and one of the few surgeons in the world skilled enough to take this job, Maggie enters his realm of unspeakable opulence and fulfills her end of the agreement. But when the patient suddenly disappears while still under her care, Maggie must become a fugitive herself--or she will be the next one who is ... Gone Before Goodbye

Loved the global settings. There were some definite unanswered questions. Mostly a fun and quick read for thrill seekers and mystery readers who don't mind some medical content. Our book club had mixed reviews but most liked it.

"Is life about quality or quantity? … Do we measure life by the years — or the quality of those years?” — *Oleg Ragoravich That message hit the soul in the final chapters. Medical terminology may get some people confused. All in all this book every well put together.

Loved it! Could've used more character development, but interesting premise with solid twists. Make this a Netflix series
