Nearly Gone Nearly Boswell Mysteries Elle Cosimano Books

Nearly Gone by Elle Cosimano follows Nearly Boswell on her search for the murderer who’s haunting her. Leaving cryptic notes and numbers that only Nearly has connected, the murderer seems to be leading her on a scavenger hunt. When Nearly tries to report it to the police, they distrust her suppositions and task high school semi-reformed criminal and narc Reece Whelan to befriend her. Now, with only the guy she shouldn’t trust on her side, Nearly is in a race for the finish line in order to save her own life.
For me, Nearly Gone was a face paced thriller full of logic puzzles and mysteries almost but not quite solved. Like one giant rubix cube in book form, I tried to reposition all the pieces to find the finished product while Nearly did the same. Although I didn’t have an overprotective motorcycle riding side kick like Reece as my foundation, I did manage to keep up with Nearly’s almost scholarship worthy mental processes as she raced to save lives.
Growing up in a low-income housing district and competing for scholarships just to get herself out of the area, Nearly and her mother are just trying to power through. Nearly finds out some scary pieces about her absent father and the cons he ran before he abandoned her and her mother, Nearly may have to deal with some of that fall out.
The whole book is one giant suspense masterpiece. A true thriller in the sense of heart-pounding, must-read-more, stay-up-all-night, Nearly Gone brings a troubled, dramatic teenage girl with a crush on the bad boy to life in the middle of a life-threatening situation.

Nearly Gone Nearly Boswell Mysteries Elle Cosimano Books Reviews

I really enjoyed the first book in the "Nearly Gone" series. I am a fan of mystery and the popular who done it type of genre. I really enjoy the character of Nearly Boswell and I like her tenacity and spunk. She comes from a hard life, but is smart without being pretentious and is an amateur sleuth. The fact that Cosimano is not afraid to have the victims be kids is a bold move I think. I reminds the reader that victims of crime can come from any walk of life and are entitled to justice. I like the back and forth between Nearly and the killer through the want aids in the paper and the use of the Periodic Table and the ties to her father also make the story more intriguing.
I also liked the romance blossoming between Nearly and Reece. It is sweet and salty at the same time, but is complicated by the pesky murders surrounding their lives and their high school.
Overall, this story is fun, interesting and is a great precursor to the next book that will be out soon "Nearly Found". Can't wait!
I really want books with good story and good writing. When the blend of these two things happens, well, the result is magic. This book almost hit that mark for me, but not quite. As a writer of teen fiction and a high school and middle school teacher, I spend a lot of time inhabiting the world of teenagers. While this book did have much of the teen banter and teen topics...school, grades, chemistry class, relationships... the characters and the plot, felt really far beyond high school. It reminded me of when I was a teen and I obsessively watched the TV show "Fame." I loved the dancing and the singing, and I couldn't stop watching it, but I never believed the characters were actually in high school. They just looked far too old.

In "Nearly Gone" it wasn't, of course, how the characters looked. It was how they behaved. While a few of them behaved in appropriately for their age, I found a class filled with narcs to be somewhat unbelievable. I don't want to give a spoiler, but I would also say that the killer, to me, was completely unbelievable and the acts said killer committed, were far too gruesome to want to read about. Having said that, the plot moves ahead at a nice clip and the use of science and math for the clues is very clever.

For this reader, the gore of the killings and the ages of the characters made the book three stars, possibly less, but the writing was very good, and for those who don't mind a book with gory killings of high school kids, you might not agree with my review!
I'd say 3.9...I know. That's annoyingly specific. To me, 4 stars means I REALLY like and recommend the book, but it just wasn't one of my favorites of the year.

I did enjoy this book, but it won't be for everyone. The mystery is intriguing, the characters are well-crafted, unique and relatable, and the side conflicts are also entertaining.

The pacing is a touch, slow, however and I'd also call this a "smart teen mystery." You'd have to be nerdy and fairly intelligent to follow the trail of this mystery, stick with it, and appreciate it.

I did think the random mention of her empathic power and ability was unnecessary and misplaced...it had very, very little tie to the plot.

Still, great tension in the mystery, great sexual tension between characters...and I was actually surprised by the ending.
Nearly Gone started off really slow for me, but it picked up rather fast. I really liked this book because I love mysteries and the concept behind this book was really cool with the clues being in the personal ads.

The main character, Nearly (love her name) was relatable, but kept making dumb decisions that made me shake my head but she's a teen so it's understandable. The book moved at a fast pace and the clues were well placed.

Her love, Reece is one of those jerks with a heart of gold types. He's very mean to the character at first, but inside he has feelings for her but can't show them. He's kind of shallow when Nearly has to dress *revealing* and then he starts to show interest, but overall he grew on me.

The bad guy felt random to me like like…what? I feel that this book was one of those books that you have to read more than once to get, but each time is still enjoyable.

Overall, Nearly Gone is a great read and I highly recommend if you like science and mysteries!
