The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell
4.0
Read this as my second Lisa Jewell novel (since “Then She Was Gone” had me hooked from the beginning, and needless to say I really enjoyed it! I’m loving her style of writing and she does a fantastic job developing the plot in a way that keeps it detailed enough for readers to get immersed, without being too wordy or lengthy that it loses that attention.
Started and finished this novel in basically one sitting, (give or take food and nap breaks) because it was just that well written. Compared to “Then She Was Gone”, I found this plot to be a bit more intricate, which I love because it allows me to get more immersed and invested in the characters’ journeys. Also, since it had more character development, I also found it to be less predictable - who doesn’t love that?
This novel centers around a young couple, Tallulah and Zach, who disappear one night after last been seen at a party. While Tallulah’s mother, Kim, is the primary focus of the plot, as she struggles to come to terms with her daughter’s sudden disappearance, there is a new writer who moves into the area, who also gains interest in the case. Together, readers follow along with the day-to-day experiences of these characters as we grapple with the unsolved mystery.
While a bit longer than “Then She Was Gone”, this was also a very easy and quick read to get through and I would definitely recommend!
