Editor reviews
Another fast-paced teen thriller from Lois Duncan! No one is too worried when Larry and Dan are late coming hope from camping. It is only after the boys fail to come home for weeks that anyone begins to suspect the worst. The danger doesn't stop there though.… Performed by Jeanna Phillips, They Never Came Home is a real nail-biter. This book is packed with secrets and intrigue and Phillips is a professional when it comes to building suspense.
Summary
When high school buddies Larry Drayfus and Dan Cotwell take a backpacking trip into the Mogollon Mountains, nobody is concerned when they don’t come home exactly on time. Dan is a natural outdoorsman, and he knows the mountains well. Larry is smart and resourceful. But soon the boys’ families must accept the unthinkable, as little sign of them can be found in the hills.
For Larry’s sister - and Dan’s girlfriend - Joan, grief soon turns to mystery when some of her brother’s old acquaintances start calling with strange and threatening messages. In They Never Came Home, the truth of Larry and Dan’s disappearance is far more shocking than any of their loved ones can anticipate.

don't bother
this could of been a fantastic plot but instead kept switching time frames so was very confusing. at the end the story just kinda stopped so it felt incomplete.

quite confusing
I really enjoyed the narrator and her voice, she is very good with a lovely voice to listen to. In all honesty, she was the reason I continued listening.
This could have been such a good plot.
Unfortunately it played out in a confusing way, chopping between things so the listener is left unsure as to the time frame, what the characters are doing and when. It was just rather confusing and muddled. I think chapter breaks or even stating the dates as such, would have made it a little easier to understand.
A few times I had to go back to try and hold on to what was actually happening, but stuck with it until the very end, which I have to admit was a little disappointing as it could have really continued into a much more satisfying ending. Instead it kind of just cuts off, leaving the listener wondering what the rest of the outcome might be.
