- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I haven’t read a Rick Mofina book in quiet some time. I have no excuse as I have always liked this author. I ran across this one at my local library and remembered just how good this author is and was very excited to be getting reacquainted. It was very suspenseful…sometimes almost too much so. You felt so many emotions for this father and husband as he searched for his lost family with little help from the police that was more than willing early on to make him their main and only suspect. Not only does he have to deal with the police blowing him off…he also has to cope with Federal authorities that do little more than the local police. Gather the supplies you will need to survive and make yourself comfortable in the best seat in your house… because once you begin this story you won’t want to stop….for anything.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Visiting New York during a UN meeting of world leaders, Jeff Griffin's wife and pre-teen sin are abducted by terrorists with whos baggage Jeff's son had grabbed from the airport by accident as it looked just like his own. They want it back since it had a vital component in implementing their terrorist plot; without it their plans fail. Frantically in search of them, Jeff has the assistance of the NYPD, CIA, and counter-terrorist government agencies. This all occurs just a few months before Jeff lost his infant daughter from SIDS, which only ex acerbates his emotions and confidence in finding his family.This is an excellent, tight read. The suspense at wanting to know what happens nexts will keep you turning pages. It is well written and the author's descriptions of the steps the NYPD and government agencies take to find the terrorists enhance the suspense.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5They Disappeared caught my attention in the way most thriller novels do but particularly as another title by this author, Vengeance Road, has been on my wishlist for a while.When Jeff Griffin’s wife, Sarah and nine year old son Cole, disappear from Times Square during a family holiday, the police are dismissive, suspecting a domestic quarrel. Frustrated by the investigators, Jeff takes matters into his own hands and frantically searches New York for his missing family, unwittingly blundering into the midst of a terrorist plan to disrupt the current UN meetings in the city.While the tension that stems from Jeff’s frantic search for Sarah and Cole and the developing threat to the UN conference taking place in New York, is high, unfortunately the plot of They Disappeared is simplistic and predictable. I was disappointed by the formulaic storyline which relies on a string of convenient critical events that conspire to keep Jeff from saving his family. Jeff falls and smashes his phone, a courier is hit by a truck, Cole escapes but runs straight into the arms of his kidnapper, these are all somewhat plausible but unconvincing moments of contrivance.As a small town mechanic, albeit with some experience as a volunteer fire fighter, Jeff proves remarkably resourceful, eluding the police and the terrorists and able to stay one step ahead of them both in his fight to rescue his family. It’s not that I didn’t like his character, as I did and I was especially sympathetic to his family’s heartbreaking history, but I didn’t find his motivation to exclude the police and take on armed terrorists alone as credible.In contrast, the terrorist, a professional soldier who has been planning his attack for a year, makes amateurish mistakes, starting with the abduction of Sarah and Cole in an instance where the missing item could have been retrieved with a simple phone call.This novel is not a bad read, for me it’s just lacking the sophistication I prefer in order to fully immerse myself in the action. They Disappeared is a lightweight, uncomplicated thriller and the fast pace will likely keep you turning the pages even if the plot fails to capture your imagination.
