My review of Linwood Barclay's No Time For Goodbye has (finally) been posted at Crime Time, you can find it here. A fast-paced suburban suspense novel set in my Milford, Connecticut hometown. This now puts me on level pegging with my cousins who grew up in Livingston, New Jersey where Harlan Coben sets his books! I just wonder if I was being harsh in describing Milford's 'overwhelming ordinariness'...at least in the 1950s the Woodmont section of town seemed pretty special to me, but I suppose as you get older it inevitably seems less so, and then, of course, you discover you can't go home again, unless you can. The lament of the life-long expat.
