Summary: A who-dun-nit with lots of possibilities
Review: An attention-grabbing mystery with a protagonist that has ESP and is able to see through the victim's eyes. Her visions are about to lead her on a chase that will keep you turning the pages. It's not the first time Rebecca Ryan has lost someone close to her. A decade ago she was part of several ongoing police investigations that left her with a desire to leave the town of Sinclair behind and never look back, but this is something she can't walk away from. It has struck too close to home and heart, and she must face the fears and guilt that have kept her prisoner all of these years.Thompson adds more and more possibilities with the turn of every page. Every time I would figure it to be one scenario, another prospect would immerge. The end came as a total surprise, just the way I like my mysteries. If you enjoy this book another book by this author is DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES. Kelsana 8/13/02

Summary: A DEFINITE "BUY IT NOW" MUST READ THRILLER!
Review: Carlene Thompson has written another blockbuster thrill-ride of a novel. Mrs. Thompson is going out on a limb with this one. "Since You've Been Gone" deals with a woman, Rebecca Ryan, who has ESP psychological powers. Occasionally, Rebecca will get visions in her head of another person's feelings or events that are happening to this particular person. In the past, Rebecca has even helped the police solve a few crimes. Unfortunately, there was one case in particular that Rebecca could not solve- the disappearance and murder of her younger brother, Jonnie, ten or so years ago. The killer was never apprehended.
Rebecca is currently living in New Orleans and she gets a call from her cousin Molly saying that their Aunt Esther has cancer and requests for her presence in West Virginia, the Ryan family's hometown. Rebecca immediately travels up there and on the way, she gets an attack vision of a little boy being kidnapped and being held hostage in a dark, depressing room. He is sad and in mental pain. Rebecca crashes her car into a famous tree in front of a local restaurant. She wakes up later to see Dr. Clay, and old attractive friend back from high school. After Rebecca feels better, she receives news that her cousin Molly's son, Todd, has been kidnapped and that the boy in her vision was Todd. This novels heats up drastically when the kidnapper taunts Rebecca with notes and haunting music. As Rebecca, Molly, and Clay try to determine who kidnapped Todd and what happened to Jonnie, Rebecca has to deal with her drunken mother, Suzanne, and her stepfather, FRANK. This novel of paranormal suspense is right up there with Kay Hooper's psychic series. Carlene Thompson is most certainly one of the best.

Summary: Not nearly as good as BLACK FOR REMEMBRANCE
Review: I had previously read Thompson's BLACK FOR REMEMBRANCE so I was expecting the same quality in SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE, but I didn't find it. The story failed to really catch my interest and pull me in. It was your run-of-the-mill kidnapping story. The only thing that surprised me was the identity of the kidnapper/murderer.

Summary: Since You've Been Gone
Review: I have loved all of this authors books, this one isn't as good as her others. I felt she had too many characters involved in this story it was hard to keep my interest. I usually finish her books in a day but not this one. I did finish it and I guessed who the killer was, it was more suspenseful toward the end of the story.

Summary: DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
Review: Page-turner with lots of twists! Carlene creates a likeable heroine with believable ESP--not the kind of ESP that supplies every answer just when it's needed. There is answer to an old mystery and a heart-stopping race against time to solve a new one.
Carlene Thompson's characters are so life-like, including the heroine's cranky dog, Sean! I felt like I could almost see the town of Sinclair. Don't miss this one!

Summary: what an ending!!
Review: Rebecca is afraid of her mind because she's afraid of what she'll see there. she has a gift and a curse to help people at the same time. People blame her for not being able to help them find their missing loved ones. i loved this book but i would have never guessed it would end like that.
