For example, Ellen thinks she saw Layla in a nearby town. When the wedding is announced in the paper, things start happening that lead Finn and Ellen to believe Layla is still alive and has resurfaced. Twelve years later, he seems to be finally getting on with his life, which includes plans to marry Ellen,… Layla’s sister. Although they had only been together for about a year, Finn loved her in a weirdly obsessive way. Finn spends the next several years searching for Layla and mourning her loss. At least, that’s the story Finn told the police. Finn pulls over at a rest stop to use the facilities and when he gets back to the car Layla has vanished. Twelve years ago, Finn and Layla are on a road trip. I just couldn’t buy what the author is selling with this one. Despite some moments of decent suspense, the ending reveals a premise that makes little sense. Bring Me Back is a suspense novel that just doesn’t quite work.
