Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Lantham is the classic cynical P.I., though a well-done and updated example of the type, but the collection of secondary characters populating Lantham's San Francisco Bay Area were what really stole the show. Engaging, fleshed-out, funny all around, the secondary characters - whether the snarky girl Friday intern, or the eccentric net guru on the hill, or the missing girl who sparks the investigation - left me wanting sequels as much on the hope that they'll be back as for wanting another Lantham story.
The book is has a lot of "local flavor" - I found it just the right mix of insider nod for the locals while still being approachable to anyone who has heard of San Francisco and is passingly familiar with urban and suburban life.
And Then She Was Gone is definitely worth a read, whether you're a mystery junkie, or just want a quick, fun read.

Disgraced former cop Clarke Lantham doesn't mind making his living as a PI. He doesn't mind the long hours, living in his office, or even dealing with bill collectors, because it keeps him in the city--as close to heaven as he's ever likely to get.Fortunately, the world needs private detectives. Unfortunately for Lantham, on this particular Saturday morning "the world" consists of a fretful mother with a missing daughter, and the place he has to go to look for her has a name every bit as ominous as hell: Suburbia.With only a teenager's blog and diaries to go on, and time running out, Lantham chases the puzzle pieces from the posh shadow of Mount Diablo to the kink clubs of San Francisco to the genetic engineering labs of Stanford. Tailed by mercenaries, framed for murder, and forced into hiding, he somehow must keep his head in the face of a world where the normal rules of reality don't seem to apply...all for the sake of a nineteen-year-old girl whose face he sees every time he closes his eyes.
