Actually like the multiple points of view telling, but did not like the fact that at the beginning he tells you who did it, then it seems for the rest of the book they are trying to cast doubt on that, to the point that you are not sure if he lied to you at the beginning, then it turns out that person did do it, so it feels like a waste of your time.

I have had this book on my shelf for longer than I care to remember, so when it cropped up on my secret santas wish list I figured it was the ideal opportunity to finally read it.

This is the first book I have read by this author, it was fast paced, I enjoyed the writing style and up to a point you think you know where it is going and then something else comes up that throws you off the track. This goes on for some time and then near the end you go I know whats going on and it is! Overall an enjoyable read.

Read this a number of years ago and thought at the time that it was a terrific thriller. Set around Portland.

It took a little while for the book to get going and there were definitely a lot of characters to follow along with but it was worth sticking with this book until the end!

Gone, But Not Forgotten is my first Phillip Margolin book. This is a crime mystery novel with a strong heroine. Although it has a good storyline, this is not a can't-put-the-book-down thriller. I also find it unlikely that nobody recognized the killer. Murder cases are usually well documented in the news with pictures of the victims and the suspects / killer. As a lawyer, the heroine should have done her research well.

Una gran novela que aúna varios géneros y que te atrapa desde principio a fin. Contiene algunos pasajes duros aunque sin llegar al nivel de otros libros donde aparecen asesinatos seriales. Muy recomendable.

I don't normally read mysteries or thrillers. I'm not sure what category this book falls into. I will say that it is extremely creepy. After I read just the first section that takes place in Hunter's Point, I woke up quite often that night. I hurried to finish it, just so I could get it off my mind!

My mother reads mysteries and thrillers and said Phillip Margolin is a good author when she saw I was reading this book. I did have quite a bit of it figured out in advance, although I did get thrown that not everyone was killed by the same person. I don't want to spoil for future readers, but I did enjoy this trek outside my normal reading tastes.
