I defy you to put this addictive book down until you reach the
final heart-breaking page

What begins as a story about the mother of a missing girl starting
a new relationship as she comes terms with her grief morphs into a
gripping, disturbing and utterly fascinating tale about what really
happened to young Ellie Mack. I've been a Lisa Jewell fan for a
long time and in this book, as in all her others, she deftly weaves
a compelling plot with an emotional depth that leaves you gasping.
In Then She Was Gone she has created a book that is dark and
claustrophobic but also heartfelt and moving. Then She Was Gone
packs a huge emotional punch that will leave you winded. I loved
it.
*CL Taylor, author of The Escape, The Lie and The Missing*
A dark, compulsive psychological thriller, yet one which is also
uplifting and tender. I absolutely loved Then She Was Gone.
*Rachel Rhys, author of Dangerous Crossing 9733*
A tense clever page-tuner that everyone will be talking about.
*Adele Parks*
She has departed from her usual chick lit and gone full tilt into a
psycho thriller, but she’s lost none of her brilliance. Indeed, I
think this is my favourite of hers so far… Deeply emotional and
incredibly clever. Bravo

Unnerving, and with a juicy reveal, this is rightly a modern
classic
*Grazia*
Jewell builds a gripping novel around a maze of dark secrets, a
tautly wound psychological thriller in which the suspense builds
slowly. Her storytelling is immaculate, hopping between past and
present, and in and out of characters. It’s a tough read at times,
but Jewell always keeps everything moving. The intrigue never flags
as she pushed towards a redemptive resolution. As astute and
emotionally charged read, riddled with creepiness. Fully
recommended

Smart and engrossing

writes with such a keen eye for detail, so much heart and yet
deviousness that I can’t wait to read what she comes up with
next
