The Night She Disappeared: A Novel
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True comes “her best thriller yet” (Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author) about a young couple’s disappearance on a gorgeous summer night, and the mother who will never give up trying to find them.
On a beautiful summer night in a charming English suburb, a young woman and her boyfriend disappear after partying at the massive country estate of a new college friend.
One year later, a writer moves into a cottage on the edge of the woods that border the same estate. Known locally as the Dark Place, the dense forest is the writer’s favorite place for long walks and it’s on one such walk that she stumbles upon a mysterious note that simply reads, “DIG HERE.”
Could this be a clue towards what has happened to the missing young couple? And what exactly is buried in this haunted ground?
“Utterly gripping with richly drawn, hugely compelling characters, this is a first-class thriller with heart” (Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author) that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Not my favorite Lisa Jewell. This is my fourth be this author and I am honestly surprised at how highly rated it is. The Family Upstairs and Then She was Gone remain my favorites. In this one I found there was too much jumping back and forth in time, too many plot holes, and at the same time a bit too much predictability.
At first it was hard to get into, this is the third Lisa Jewell novel I’ve read and her writing style jumps around from point of views in different timelines. This book made me angry but in a good way, it was frustrating because I wanted to tell Tallulah’s truth and save her the agony she was feeling. Once you got to the last 100 pages or so the story finally starts unraveling and every piece in the puzzle is put into place. Beautiful feel good ending.
My first mystery/thriller book! Slow in the middle, and I didn't really care for Sophie/Shaun's part of the plot, but overall I enjoyed the story
Shoutout to my friend Bella for suggesting this book

Good story, but it took slightly longer to get to the plot than I would've preferred. I'm glad I pushed past my inclination to put this down halfway through.
