The Night She Disappeared: A Novel

I have loved all the books of Lisa Jewell. Loved the ways she writes and the plot twists the books carry. This is another one of my favourites as I am a huge fan of thrillers and Lisa Jewel's books always hit the spot. A gread read

Lisa Jewell never ever has managed to disappoint me. All her stories are worthwhile reads according to me. And lo and behold, she does it this time too. The story’s quite intriguing and is definitely addictive!

I love all reads of Lisa Jewell, keeps me so grooved to what’s happening and what the next chapter would be.

The Night She Disappeared by Lisa Jewell A fabulous Book from author, Lisa Jewell, This is a slow burning, riveting read. Talulah, a teen mother has gone missing after she went on a date with her possessive and controlling boyfriend Zach. Kim, Talulah's mother leaves no stone unturned in her search for her missing daughter. The case goes cold. Sophie, a bestselling mystery writer moves to the same area as Kim along with her boyfriend who is the head teacher at the local school. In her exploration of her surroundings she finds a sign asking her to dig at a specific location. Upon digging she finds a clue which helps kick start Talulah's case once again and the eventual search once again. What I loved about The Night She Disappeared is the fact that all the characters felt so real. The setting is beautiful yet chilling. The twists keep coming at literally a breakneck speed. The story is from multiple POV's Talulah's as well as her mother Kim's. Kims POV is about the present whereas her daughter's is from the past leading up to the day she disappeared. This definitely was a novel which I just couldn't put down at all. Filled with emotions, secrets, lies and a ton of mystery, this is one of the best books I've read so far this year.

Received in good paperback condition. Story plot’s good, almost 500pages. Lotta twists & turns. Multiple POVs. Slow-burn, but detailed. Keep pen & pad ready, plenty characters, so it could get confusing.

The story starts with Tallulah, a teenage mom who plans to go out with her friends and leaves her baby, Noah with her mom, Kim. She tells her mom that she'd be back home soon but she never returned. One year after, Shaun and Sophie moves to a cottage where Shaun started work in a school. Sophie is a novelist by profession and one day in the back garden of her cottage, she found a cardboard fence which reads "Dig Here". Sophie starts investigation and what she found is devastating. Sophie, Zach, Kim and others are good characters and narration of the story is good. But I personally didn't like the ending. Zach didn't deserve that, did he? This makes it a one time read. Read it one time and then forget about it. It's not a memorable story.

Good.

Beautiful story i luved, it Lisa never disappoints me

I like all of LJ's thrillers (especially Watching You, which is a masterpiece) but this might be the best of all. Intricately constructed plot and a real puzzler, a great read. Hats off!

Love Lisa Jewells book, her writing superb, you will be hooked from the very beginning and just can not put the book down, if you enjoy thriller/suspense novels you will love this

From beginning to end, a great mystery that grabs you from page one. I've read many books of Jewell and loved them all, but this one leapt to number one favorite. Don't miss it!

Love her books ❤️👍🏻

This was a great read. Told over a couple of timescales, we eventually find out what happened to Tallulah and Zack. In 2017, they go out together for a rare date. They are parents to baby Noah but their relationship is coming to an end. At least for Tallulah. At 11pm Tallulah send a text to her mum who is babysitting, to let her know that they are going on to a friends house. That is the last communication from them. In 2018, Sophie and her boyfriend Shaun have just moved into a cottage in school grounds of a private school that Shaun will be headteacher of. Theirs is a relatively new relationship and Sophie is unsure whether she has done the right thing. She writes a successful cosy crime series under a pseudonym, which she can do from anywhere. She is unhappy therefore when the move stops her from continuing her next book. While on a walk she sees a cardboard sign that tells her to dig. The events of the two years start to collide as Sophie tries to find out exactly what happened to Tallulah and Zack. This was a great mystery with fabulous characters. The character of Scarlett was brilliant. She was an enigmatic character that drew people to her. Her friends just didn’t seem able to distance themselves from her. This was such a well plotted read. Lisa Jewell is brilliant at running two stories together but this plot had three. I wasn’t confused at all so the writing must have been superb. I loved the twists that you expect from this genre but it didn’t stop twisting until the end. Definitely one of her better books in my opinion.
