About this listen
"The ending shattered me in a way only Tarryn Fisher can!” —Colleen Hoover
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Never Never
Iris Walsh saw her twin sister get kidnapped—so why does no one believe her?
Iris narrowly escaped her twin sister’s fate as a teen: abducted in broad daylight and long gone before she could convince the cops there was anything to investigate. With Piper presumed a runaway and no evidence to go on but Iris’s scattered memories, the case quickly goes cold.
Ever since that terrible day, Iris’ search for Piper has bordered on obsession. Chasing leads across years and following clues that all seem to point to a single name, Iris does everything she can to get close to the only person who might know the answer to the question that still haunts her: where did Piper go? And if the police still won’t help, she’ll just have to find the answer herself--using her criminal psychology degree to intern at the isolated psychiatric hospital on Shoal Island, where secrets lurk in the shadows and are kept under lock and key. But Iris soon realizes that something even more sinister is simmering beneath the surface of the Shoal, and that the patients aren’t the only ones being observed…

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Outstanding read/Listen!
I just finished listening to Good Half Gone and I'm so sad it's over! It was such an intense thriller! I had to know what happened to Piper. I could not put this book down. From beginning to end I was sucked it. The ending really took off and blew my mind! I didn't see any of it coming and it shocked me! Such a great read! This is now one of my favorite reads!
The narrator did a fantastic job and really brought the characters to life.
I highly recommend!

HUGE Dissapointment
I am a HUGE fan of Tarryn Fisher and was so looking forward to this book, this is my first time ever giving her books a 3-star rating. I so wanted a book hangover like I normally do with her books, but this book was not as dark and twisted as I hoped it would be and the storyline seemed to drag on and on and on. The book only got exciting toward the last hour of the book and then the ending was too quick, not very believable and to me anyway very predictable.
The narrator I was not a fan of but tolerable.
I am so sad to leave this review :(

I miss the Tarryn Fisher who wrote Marrow & Mud Vein
I don't know if I've changed too much as a reader or if she's changed as a writer (or maybe both). This feels like a relationship when two people started out super close but have grown in completely different directions and are no longer compatible. I almost want to listen to those two books again just to see if I still see in them what I once saw. I read them each twice in the first couple of years after discovering them. Tarryn Fisher was the writer I would check every few months to see if there was a new book...and feel disappointed when there wasn't. I had never read "romance," but after Mud Vein, as I was waiting for the audio version of Marrow, I voraciously consumed every one of her books. Dirty Red (that whole series)...Never Never...anything with her name on it was an instant yes. Marrow was an instant favorite. I'd have said those two books were my favorites and she was the writer I would recommend to anyone looking for something new, something not formulaic, something with feeling, something slightly (or even very) dark and mysterious, cerebral.
I'm not sure what happened, but each new book for the past several years, I have enjoyed less and less. The writing style is still great. The voices she gives the characters are still engaging, and I'm never bored...she keeps my interest, but when it's all said and done, I'm left disappointed at the story itself. This one really just didn't work at all for me. It felt simultaneously predictable and wildly implausible. I picked up the "twist" almost right away, but kept thinking there's no way that's possible. That would just be dumb. That's impossible. No way is she going where it seems she's leading...but she did. I knew exactly how she was going to find out. Nothing was a surprise, yet it was all surprising because it was just so bizarre and unbelievable. As others have pointed out, the end also felt incredibly rushed. All of this setup and just no payoff. It was so anticlimactic that I just sat there for a minute wondering if I had missed an entire section of the book, but I knew I hadn't. It just felt as if I had.
Again, throughout the whole thing, starting at the island, I knew what was coming, but hoped I was wrong...and I wasn't. I hate that feeling, especially about a book from an author that I absolutely idolized and could do no wrong at one point. And of course, every author is going to have some that resonate and some that don't, but this is a trend.
I will still always click on a T.F. novel when it first comes out. She earned that with all of the books that made me fall in love with her. But with each one, I'm less and less excited and more...I don't even know how to describe it...resigned, maybe? Resigned that there's no way it's going to be up there in my "books that blew my mind" list...and yet still hoping, hoping, hoping that I'm going to be wrong just the same way I hoped this story wasn't going to take the turn it did. I still love TF...I hope the next one connects, because I'm so sad right now.

Rushed
I feel like Tarryn Fisher's books as of late have been compelling in the first and middle act and then just rushed with the final act. the last hour packed a lot and just did not pay off.
I also didn't care for the performance. I imagined the main character iris having a younger voice and this one made the character feel like she was in her 50s. Just a bummer overall

Solid book but not my fav by Tarry Fisher
So here is the set-up: Iris and Piper are 15-year old twins and Iris witnesses the abduction of her sister. The police are less than helpful and Iris and her grandmother are left trying to figure out what happened to Piper.
The book does jump back and forth between scenes of a now grown up Iris still investigating her sister’s disappearance and the past when the abduction happened. I mention it since I know some people aren’t a fan of past/present flip flops but as I’ve said before that doesn’t bother me at all.
I really liked the whole set-up and intrigue surrounding Iris’ current angle at procuring an internship at an isolated psychiatric hospital on an island in search of answers. You don’t quite know why she’s going there and exact what she’s hoping to find. So that had me hooked trying to get further in the book to find out what exactly was driving her actions specifically.
There were some really great scenes and moments; however, for me personally I just felt like something was missing. I know with a thriller that you don’t get all of the information at once but typically you get information in pieces and then it all puzzles together at the end. I feel like some relevant details weren’t brought up until the very end. As a reader you can’t always figure out the ending of a book but part of the fun is getting to the end, being able to look back and realize all of the pieces that were in play that hinted at the truth. I feel like this book was missing that element of weaving those hints and details throughout in order to have you sitting in that moment of stunned silence. Instead, when I got to the “reveal” it was just kinda like huh where the heck did that come from.
However, that could just be my personal takeaway since I’m very into the details and context clues especially when reading thrillers. I loved The Wives by Tarryn Fisher and I feel like that book did an amazing job of delivering that experience.
Overall, I rated this 3.75 out of 5 stars. It really is an interesting story and kept me guessing, it just wasn’t my favorite thriller.

great book
I enjoy reading books but at work, I listen to books. This was a easy book to follow as I worked and it was a great story. The narrator did an excellent job.

Creative, strong character and fantastic storyline
Tarryn is a mastermind. How does she do it book after book? I LOVED the main characters
loyalty and willingness to do anything for her family. I don’t want to give away a hint of anything, so will say It was a perfect blend of ups, downs, twists and turns. I enjoyed the past/present writing. It hit all of my book interests in one perfect package.
