Slow burn mystery that is hard to put down. The book provides the narrative of several points of view throughout the book to give you nuggets of information of the disappearance. While the book left me guessing, my guesses weren't completely right, allowing for surprise on the unveiling of the mystery.

This kept me guessing until the very end! This novel had well thought-out and detailed characters, accompanied by a slow-brewing mystery. A solid piece of work by Lisa Jewell, and the narrator brought the story full circle. The pace was slow, but well-timed and includes lots of details that all mean something at some point in the story. Would definitely recommend this audio read if you’re on a road trip! It received an Audie Nomination for a reason, and you won’t be disappointed!

I thought this was a solid story, and I definitely didn't predict a lot of the stuff going on. I do love a mother fighting like heck for justice for her daughter. Seemed like kind of a
toxic lesbian relationship though. Like was everything consensual? Just a little sketchy.

A well paced book that kept me engaged. The storyline was believable for the first 3/4 of the book, then it became a bit far fetched for me

I really enjoyed this and then everyone in book club shit on it so that’s very on brand for me 🤣

Solid thriller with multiple points of view, all of the characters (hold a few randos) feel fully fleshed out and the story arc comes together nicely. The few twists really surprised me and anytime a thriller can actually surprise me is a win! 

It’s really tough to tell you what kept this from being 5 stars without spoilers, so I’ll just say this: it’s a bit messy in some parts with loose ends that don’t quite come together, or critical plot points that are just thrown casually together. BUT! It’s more good than bad and I would definitely recommend it. I’ve owned “And then she was gone” for years and never picked it up, now I’m finally inspired to.

Lisa Jewell takes the reader on an mysterious ride where she flashes between past and present events. A young mother and her boyfriend go missing with no tracks or accounts of where they went. While the woman’s mother, Kim goes on the hunt for her. This book took me a while to get into it, but once it got to about the halfway point I could not put it down. I was so curious about what was going on and what was going to happen next. It definitely gave me anxiety and made me feel sad for some of the characters.
