Critics Review
-
I love all Lisa's books, but The Night She Disappeared is by far her best thriller yet.
Harlan Coben
-
Lisa has certainly done it again with another first class mystery. It's got it all - captivating characters, a mysterious mansion in the woods and a burning question set up from the start to draw the reader in. I just had to know what happened next. Totally enthralling.

Lisa Jewell has made a thriller out of my favourite literary ingredients. Abandoned mansion [tick]. Sex [tick]. Boarding school [tick]. SECRET TUNNELS [tick]. Kick-ass matriarch [tick]. Clues in paintings [tick]. I predict another number one.

Absolutely loved this one by Lisa Jewell - compelling, deep, surprising, tense, modern. Most thrillers are in black and white to me in terms of character and Lisa is blazing saturated technicolour.

The only thing predictable about this ending is how unpredictable it is.

I’ve enjoyed every Lisa Jewell book I’ve listened to, and this was no exception. Fantastic narration, I didn’t even realise it was Joanne Froggatt - excellent job on the various accents.

Really enjoyed this turn pager. I found it so hard to get anything done as I just wanted to know what has happened. Definitely difficult to turn off, without listening to “ just one more chapter “.
Great narration, I feel they got it just right.crissiesky 2024-06-17 -
