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.

Super story and performance
Had me hooked from the start, I did more or less guess what was going on, but I thoroughly enjoyed hearing it all unravel. Great performance, perfect holiday listen for me.

Gripping from star to finish
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.
This is one of those books that you just hate to finish because it was so good

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

Lesson: I must avoid Sunday Times Bestsellers
Skipped most of this book and would only add there is no need to skip to end, there are no surprises. Sending this back.

Good but too easy to guess!
Good story but if you like a sophisticated thriller that keeps you guessing until the end you will not get that with this book. All in all though still a good story.

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

Absolutely brilliant
I don't normally do reviews but this was such a great listen. Compelling story with plenty of twists and turns. The narrator did a great job too.

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.
