Product Description
Darkness has fallen on the city of Portland, Oregon. One by one, the wives of affluent and respected men are vanishing from their homes. The only clues to their disappearance are a single black rose and a note that reads, "Gone, But Not Forgotten." It is the rebirth of a horror that has already devastated a community at the opposite end of the country—and, as it did then, terror and death will follow. Defense attorney Betsy Tannenbaum is trapped in a nightmare as the shadows of a killer darken her world. And she will soon be risking everything she has and everyone she loves to defend a cold, powerful, and manipulating client who may be a victim . . . or a monster.

• What Has Become Of The American Reader? 31 May, 2008
Gone But Not Forgotten has more plot holes than a sieve. The characters do either stupid or unlikely things. The courtroom and police procedures seem contrived and illogical. The prose is simply mass-produced palaver.
Perhaps inspired by the sadistic scenes in the book, I forced myself to finish this painful experience. Ouch!
Why does such tripe appear on the bestseller's list? Has the American reader become this formulaic and unsophisticated?

• Gone But Not Forgotten By Philip Margolin 23 November, 2008
This is a book which is drama/horror/thriller, filled with suspense and lots of investigation. Its like watching a law and order type pf thing. Its a good book but it does not beat the first book I read from this author, "sleeping beauty" which I thought was a really great book and very well written.

• You Forget The Crowd While Reading 06 February, 2008
I read this kind of books while commuting with the train to the office.
The book was recommended in the Dutch list of best thrillers. It was worth every penny. Many times I forgot the crowd in the train while reading this book. Especially the telling of the way the main suspect was thinking about life and women was gripping. Also the turning in plots made you forget the leave the train in time.

• Gone, But Not Forgotten 21 July, 2008
"Gone, But Not Forgotten" are the words on a note written on plain white paper and left, along with one black rose, on the pillow of four women over a period of a few months in a small upstate New York town, each the wife of a successful businessman. Horribly mutilated bodies are eventually found. When his wife and daughter are found murdered, Peter Lake is suspected of the killings and the earlier crimes. Ultimately another man was arrested, but that man was killed at the scene of the arrest and never tried. Now, years later, the crimes are being duplicated with three new victims in Portland, Oregon.
Betsy Tannenbaum, mother of a six-year old girl she adores and suffering through a `trial separation from her husband, Rick, is tapped by Martin Darius to represent him when he arrested by the Portland police in connection with the current disappearances. Betsy has made a reputation defending against murder charges local women in abusive marriages, and though she has doubts about his innocence, her quest for the enhanced reputation this high-profile case will bring her, as well as her sense of `everyone deserves the best possible defense" overtakes her and she agrees to take on the case. The question is put to her "Can you imagine a case you wouldn't take? A client you might find so repulsive that your conscience would not let you represent him?" Her answer: "That's the question you confront when you choose to practice criminal law. If you can't represent that client, you don't belong in the business."
The attempt to find a "tag" for this novel was frustrating: "suspense novel," breathtaking thriller," "legal drama?" Each one, or rather all of them, apply. The legal scenes are realistic [the author is a longtime criminal defense attorney] and the characters well-drawn. This hefty novel read very quickly, with suspense mounting till the thrilling conclusion.
