Then She Was Gone: A psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

"A MISSING GIRL. A BURIED SECRET.

From the acclaimed author of I Found You and the Richard & Judy bestseller, The Girls, comes a compulsively twisty psychological thriller that will keep you gripped to the very last page." (from the publisher's description)

"Both utterly gripping and startlingly original. Prepare to be hooked." (Sun)

"I defy you to put this addictive book down until you reach the final heart-breaking page" (Daily Express)

"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)
