The Vanishing Encore Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Ruffles (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars (25)
The Vanishing Encore is a fast-paced, romantic thriller.
In 2003, a young woman heads to London to take up a job offer and vanishes. Several years later, Todd Matheson sees a photo of the woman on a missing persons website and is struck by her resemblance to Lily Nichol, his daughter’s teacher. At the time, he dismisses it as a coincidence. But, as he and Lily grow closer, he fears that she’s hiding something from him. Then, without warning, she too disappears.
Is there a link with the girl who went missing in 2003? Could Lily be the same person? Todd is determined to find out. But sometimes secrets should stay hidden. Discovery could spell danger.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carolyn Ruffles is the author of both contemporary and historical fiction laced with mystery, romance and suspense. She loves reading books which tell a compelling story: books with drama and emotional depth; books which keep her reading late into the night and then have a satisfying ending. That is what she strives to write. She is also fascinated by human interest stories – ordinary people embroiled in extraordinary situations and learning about themselves in the process.

Having retired from teaching, she wrote her first book, The Girl in the Scrapbook, which was published in November, 2018. Who To Trust, followed in March 2020 and The Vanishing Encore is her third novel. If you wish to find out more about her and her books, she has a website https://carolynrufflesauthor.com. By signing up to her readers’ list, you will receive the link to a free short story, Memories Forgotten, about a subject very close to her heart.

Carolyn lives in Norfolk with her husband Mark. When she is not reading or writing, she loves dog walking, playing badminton, gardening (in moderation – no weeding and a little light pruning is her preference) and looking after her two beautiful grandsons. She also loves spending time with family and friends, especially if there’s a glass of wine involved!

    This book is delightful! Written with beautiful ease. You are immediately drawn into the story. It’s a nail bitter, yet it is hopeful as the mystery unravels. No spoilers but, the romance is epic and everything you want in a good read. I love this author and the way she lulls you into the story, making its home in your heart. This is one of those novels that will pop back into your consciousness years after reading it due to it’s cleaver plot twists.

    The VANISHING ENCORE by Carolyn Ruffles is a well-written, compelling story. After reading only a few pages, I knew I was hooked. What would happen next? Every night, I looked forward to reading what new twists and turns Saskia found herself in as she sought to find Mel, her sister, and peace for herself. The book is not only engrossing and suspenseful but a beautiful love story as well. I highly recommend the book.

    I have just finished reading The Vanishing Encore. Wow, what a fabulous read, Carolyn, and thank you! I have not wanted to put the book down and have been completely captivated by the intriguing plot and wonderful characters. This is a real triumph in the skilful weaving of many strands of an action-packed storyline but also with lovely moments of warmth, humour and romance. I loved following the development of the characters and grew particularly fond of Lily and Todd. I know the story had to come to a conclusion at some point – and what a conclusion! – but, for so many reasons, I really didn’t want the book to end! Another masterpiece, Carolyn – very well done!

    We have just had the worst storm in a generation and I barely noticed it, so engrossed was I in this excellent book! Well structured, intriguing and fast paced throughout, it gives the reader that wonderful problem of always wanting to read on through the next chapter, then the next! The characters were well introduced and credible; their histories unexpected but entirely plausible. Thank you, Carolyn Ruffles!

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story about a young woman for whom life has presented a series of hurdles that not many of us, thankfully, have to negotiate. The title ‘The Vanishing Encore’ holds the heart of this excellent story with its many twists and turns and if you chose to buy and read it – and I do recommend that you do so – you will be in for a treat. This book is a page turner!

    Just finished reading this book well done Carolyn. As soon as I started reading I was hooked. I didn’t want to put it down. Loved the characters Todd and Lily. Didn’t want it to end. This is the third book by Carolyn Ruffles I have read and I enjoyed all three I look forward to the next one.
