The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell
5.0
I really loved this!
This is my first time reading from Lisa Jewell and after finishing this book, I want to read her entire backlist now! This was such an easy read for me and I literally sped through it. The writing style was spot on!
This was a really cleverly plotted and thought out mystery that had so many twists and turns, literally every chapter was so intense!
The Night She Disappeared is a really dramatic and twisty thriller about young teen mum, Talluah, who went missing over a year ago after going out on a date with her boyfriend, and neither of them were seen again. It goes between flashbacks to when they went missing and to the present day, when a crime author called Sophie moves to where the teens went missing, and starts to investigate the cold case herself when she finds a strange sign in her garden connected to the mystery…
While this book is focused on the mystery of the disappearances, there’s also a big focus on the mother and daughter relationship between Tallulah, and her mother Kim, which I thought was beautiful. It really shows the deep and emotional bond the mother and daughter have, and it’s actually upsetting reading about Kim’s dealing with the aftermath of her daughter going missing, and how she never gave up hope of finding her little girl.
I’m finding it difficult to put all my feelings about this book into words, but it was literally everything I want from a thriller. I’m so excited to read more books by Lisa Jewell!
