North Island Indie Author Scores Novel Success
Volume 27 Issue 7, 8 & 9 | Posted: September 1, 2013
As a first novel, Disappearing in Plain Sight is a stellar accomplishment for Francis Guenette.
This is no ordinary book; there is real depth and maturity to it and I was struck by Guenette’s deep understanding of human nature and emotions. She has created a cast of wonderful, complicated characters, each with their own underlying circumstances. She has woven them into a plot that twists and turns, keeping you guessing the outcome all the way. This work explores a wide spectrum of emotions in the lives of characters who are “disappearing in plain sight.”

Gloria Antypowich’s review from “Goodreads” book review website.
What happens when our choices and imperfections continue to impact our lives for months, even years? Do we face the problem head-on and begin the healing process? Bury the past and try to move on? Are there any easy answers? These are some of the questions indie author Francis Guenette examines in her debut novel, Disappearing in Plain Sight.
It’s difficult to say what I enjoyed most about this novel, but the stunning description of setting, the characters who felt like old friends, and my desire to know their individual fates is what kept me reading.
Guenette’s cleverly written twists and unanswered questions held my attention all the way through.
Perhaps the answers will come in Guenette’s sequel, The Light Never Lies.
