Then She Was Gone: From the number one bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

Product Information

even though my original guesses were wrong, its VERY obvious what will happen early on in the story, and so it just started to feel drawn out by the halfway point. As Laurel gets to know the entire family, she begins to learn about coincidences, there is a certain individual who ties both of their lives together. Laurel's life stalled, her marriage fell apart and the relationship with her two remaining children is strained.

The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. The more time Laurel spends with Poppy, the more confused she becomes about her personality, her outlook on life, and how Laurel sees her dead daughter in Poppy.All psychological thrillers are dark and a bit disturbing but the subjects in this one took that to a whole different level. If a person who beholds the concept of unconditional love falls in love with a Narcissist, then the first person's life will be totally destroyed.

A week after the night she chases but fails to catch a mysterious trespasser outside her town house, some unknown party texts Tempe four images of a corpse that looks as if it’s been chewed by wild hogs, because it has been.Now divorced and distant from her other two children, Laurel is attempting to move on and begins dating a handsome and kind man. This is the second Lisa Jewell novel I’ve read (I Found You, being the first) and I can’t wait to read more of Ms. There were too many unanswered questions and she just knew that Ellie wouldn't simply walk away from the life she loved.

LISA JEWELL delivers a well-written story here with flawed, believable, and compelling characters that was told in alternating points of view and short chapters to make this a quick and easy read. If the author can find just the right combination of these things, then I will be right there ready to throw more stars their way. To say I'm waiting with bated breath for Lisa's next novel would be an understatement, and I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. You definitely want to add this to your reading schedule ASAP, especially if you're looking for a read that is so gripping you'll fly right through it. But something isn’t quite right about Floyd, especially his relationship with his nine-year-old daughter, Polly.In fact, I almost want to go back and read the book again knowing the conclusion and be more aware of the plot points I missed the first time around. At times, the characters and the emotional core of the events are almost obscured by such quick maneuvering through the weighty plot. Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Or maybe I’m just jaundiced by the idea of a perfect man showing up at the table next to an older divorced woman.
