Story
Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths. Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another.

A young woman has gone missing in Silicon Valley, and her father has hired Colter Shaw to find her. The son of a survivalist family, Shaw is an expert tracker. What seems a simple investigation quickly thrusts him into the dark heart of America's tech hub and the cutthroat billion-dollar video-gaming industry. When another victim is kidnapped, the clues point to one video game with a troubled past - The Whispering Man. In that game, the player has to survive after being abandoned in an inhospitable setting with five random objects. Is a madman bringing the game to life?

Story
The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal - or all three. Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible - plus a companion for the final leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood.

Story
An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver...a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

Publisher's Summary
In this twisty thriller from the New York Times best-selling master of suspense, reward-seeker Colter Shaw infiltrates a sinister cult after learning that the only way to get somebody out...is to go in.
In the wilderness of Washington State, expert tracker Colter Shaw has located two young men accused of a terrible hate crime. But when his pursuit takes a shocking and tragic turn, Shaw becomes desperate to discover what went so horribly wrong and if he is to blame.
Shaw's search for answers leads him to a shadowy organization that bills itself as a grief support group. But is it truly it a community that consoles the bereaved? Or a dangerous cult with a growing body count?
Undercover, Shaw joins the mysterious group, risking everything despite the fact that no reward is on offer. He soon finds that some people will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden...and to make sure that he or those close to him say "good-bye" forever.

Meh!
Not a fan of Deaver's habit, in this book, of repeatedly portraying the protagonist as always being one step ahead. He relates one incident after another that seemingly "go badly" for the protagonist, only to subsequently re-tell the incident showing how Colter Shaw already knew what was going to happen and had set matters up so that he made the event turn out to his advantage. If he could read the signs so well, he should buy lottery tickets.

Another Great Thriller
Best-selling and award-winning thriller author Jeffery Deaver returns with the second book in his new Colter Shaw series. After the complete success of the first novel, The Never Game, released one year ago, Mr. Deaver brings us another adventure filled with action, mystery, interesting characters, a captivating plot, dramatic events and all sorts of dark secrets in The Goodbye Man.
Actor and award-winning narrator Kaleo Griffith delivers another powerful performance in The Goodbye Man. He uses his significant set of skills to better infuse the story with action and emotion, raising the level of immersion to new hights and at the same time he manages to keep the listener on the edge of his seat for the duration.
With The Goodbye Man we have another solid mystery from one of the best authors out there, brought to life by the talented Kaleo Griffith. If you are a Deaver fan or just love well-writen mysteries, you can't go wrong with this choice.
If you liked this review please vote Helpful below and find more of them here and on theAudiobookBlog.
I also post honest reviews at the author, narrator or publisher's request, you can get in touch with me for more details.
Thank you & stay safe,
Victor

Fast Paced Cult Thriller-Deaver’s one of the best!
This is the second full length book in the Colter Shaw series. The two books are both stand alone. I would listen in order for continuity and background however it’s not necessary.
This book is very good. The publisher’s summary gives a very good overview of the beginning of the story. For most of the book Shaw is undercover on a secluded compound. The place is run by a cult leader who seems to be somewhere between Charles Manson and Jim Jones. He hails himself as being the master all while sleeping with underage girls, fleecing his followers bank accounts and ordering the murders of people capable of exposing him. Shaw starts out being a one man army but eventually finds allies in some of the disillusioned members.
The book ends with a great cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.
Kaleo Griffith does a fantastic job narrating.
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

FUGGETABOUTIT
One of my least-favorite books by Jeffrey Deaver. The plot is very weak, the story is entirely too long, and the two main characters — Colter Shaw and cult leader Master Eli — are neither interesting nor credible. Don’t waste your time or money on this book — it seems like someone other than Deaver, with much less skill than Deaver, wrote it. The narrator, though, does a good job, especially with what he had to work with.

Absolutely irritating
So sorry, but thus book is just irritating and not up to Jeffery Deaver’s “Lincoln Ryhme’s" Series. I’m so glad I read the Lincoln
Rhyme series before this disaster.

loved the debut
I was a little disappointed in the story. I thought it would a bit deeper regarding the cult psychology, but it ended up being a generic get rich scam.

Not much suspense in this "thriller"
This was my first by Deaver and I read it because of a favorable review in the NY Times. If this was meant to be a thriller there was very little suspense in it, mainly because the protagonist works his way methodically outof every single challenge with very little effort. There is nothing that he is not prepared for (snake bite antidote for his dog, fire extinguisher for the occasional car explosion, full body armor worn under his clothing in case he got shot, etc.) And his father seemed to prepare him in life with an amazingly complete and useful list of "nevers:" "Never go into the brush with a dog without carrying snake bite antidote for dogs. Humans can survive a bite but not a dog."
The writing is otherwise workmanlike, as is the narrator's performance. The oddest part: it didn't end, exactly, it just seemed to stop.

not as good as first in series
loved this character in The Gamer but this one just got tedious with how Shaw us such a superman. couldn't help but see the undertones of political jabs and veiled comparisons of the villain and president Trump and his wife. Just got bored and disappointed.
