Gripping story and great writing
The writing is top notch, really good. I would say it’s one of the best written stories I’ve listened to. Some stories can drag in places but this kept my interest up all the way through. Some of it is horrific, hard to listen to really cause it’s so life like. Narration really good too, there’s nothing worse than narrators not pulling different accents off, but this worked well!
I thought I’d twigged the ending about half way through, I was along the right lines but the unexpected twists mean I was far enough from guessing it all! I would recommend for anyone that likes this genre.

This book was both well written and well read. Lisa Jewell captured every character beautifully and of course Gabrielle’s different accents and voices completely brought the story to life.

Listened in one sitting !!!!!!
Clever, twisty, emotional with some exceptionally beautiful prose. Lisa Jewell has defied the trend and much like whiskey has matured beautifully. I feel I have grown up with her, if you were to read her earlier work then her last four/five novels its like looking at a picture of a sweet gap tooth kid and then meeting the beautiful wise woman she has become. The narrator is wonderful too ... I still remember her as Patricia Farnham in brookside :) buy this, keep it and relisten

Loved the characters
This is my first book by Lisa Jewel, but it definitely won't be my last. What stood out most for me was her brilliant use of different character voices and timelines when telling the story. Although I knew quite early on what the big twist would be, I became invested in all the characters and had problems putting down the book to deal with real life.
I really liked Laurel, even though she was grieving the disappearance of her daughter, she was brave, funny and always wiling to admit her mistakes. It loses a star because the ending was too perfect for my taste.
I listened to the audio and the narrator, Gabrielle Glaister, and she did an excellent job, especially with Laurel and and Noelle. I'm very happy to see that she is also the reader for a few other Lisa Jewell books.
If you are in the mood for a mystery, I highly recommend Then She Was Gone

A hidden jewell
I grew up reading Agatha Christie and Patricia Highsmith and polished my taste in psychological thrillers long ago before it became all the rage with “Gone girl”... It is my favorite kind of fiction and honestly, rarely a book lives up to my expectations, regardless of raving reviews (where I sometimes wonder if we were reading the same novel!). However, this jewel of book (and I do this purposely), was somehow hidden in my online library for a couple of years... until we found each other recently. And it is brilliant: the well thought and developed plot, the build up, the characters... the mastery of writing: it doesn’t matter that we more or less know and can predict what is going on. There are no “twist and turns” and “cliffhanger” endings... it is more about the real psychology of the characters and the deep understanding of nuances and flaws in all of us. A fabulous, brilliant book, strong recommendation for all those who love a real serious insight in human behavior and motives. Lisa Jewell is a great author and the credit also goes to the fantastic reading performance of Gabrielle Glaister.

Far fetched but enjoyable
As with many of the reviews here, the book was entertaining and I was very keen to find out what happened, but the author was so keen to leave the reader feeling satisfied at the end of the book, that it was tied up with too many unbelievable pieces. So yes, I feel satisfied, but it was definitely at the sacrifice of the believability of the story. Would prefer something more realistic, even if it means leaving me with a bit more anguish.
