In previous books, I’d say that Lisa Jewell hasn’t quite nailed great characters – however in The Night She Disappeared, she’s really defined each character and added depth and layers to them that make them genuinely believable. The Night She Disappeared characters – 4.5/5

It features a compelling story where you really can’t guess what actually happened until the very end when it’s all revealed to you. The Night She Disappeared features a plot that will have you hooked from the first page until the page. It makes reading the book utterly addictive as things are slowly drip-fed to you towards the end of each chapter and things that intertwine more between the two different timelines. In modern-day we follow Kim, Tallulah’s mother and Sophie who moves into a house near some woods and then finds a sign which says “Dig here!” Just as Kim is giving up on her missing daughter, Sophie finds the sign which brings her right into the case and opens up a new line of interest, helping Kim to get closer than ever to really finding out what happened to her daughter in that fateful night.Īs I said above, Jewell has this fantastic technique of writing two timelines, both of which slowly build a crescendo in their respective time zones. Two years ago Tallulah and her friends are having a party at a house and Talulluah and her boyfriend go missing. It’s a great formula that, without even trying, you find yourself sitting up later than you want reading, wanting to find out more and more. The Night She Disappeared follows a similar form to a lot of Lisa Jewell’s books – it covers the tale of a very dark night and switches between two different times which both eventually build towards a crescendo where you find out what happens in the current day as the one searching to find out and the retelling of the events in the other timeline.
