This book has left me completely on the fence... I have never had this feeling before, where I'm not sure whether I enjoyed a book or not. I think it took a lot longer than it should've for me to get into it, and I didn't truly get sucked in until about 75% of the way through, but I'm not sure if that was just because I had already gotten so far that I might as well finish.
Not bad, but not great. I found a lot of it a bit far fetched. This one had potential but had me rolling my eyes with the wrap up.

Bit of a twist. A lot going on that was attempted to be tied up but still a number of questions left unanswered
I typically wouldn’t give a book in this genre more than 3 stars, but the ending was a fantastic surprise that left me happy.
Great psychological thriller!!! I opted for the audio version & it did not disappoint. A story that starts out with a young couple’s relationship that is on the rocks & then goes missing… quickly morphs into a tangled web of betrayals & deceit. Well done Lisa Jewel I couldn’t put this one down. Had a few slow spots for me but overall an entertaining read!
Lisa Jewell sure can tell a story. I really liked this book as a good 'ol fashioned mystery. The characters were likable, even lovable, and there were twists and turns, playing hot potato with who's at fault for the missing Tallulah (and her boyfriend Alex) (definitely in parenthesis intentionally). The inclusion of art and old copycats and, again, TRULY LIKEABLE CHARACTERS, I loved this story.
I think the only reason this is not 5 stars for me is there was a lack of shocking twist or something that took my breath away. Those get 5 stars for me. However, I loved this book.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
With very few exceptions, I really love Lisa Jewell's books, and The Night She Disappeared was definitely not an exception. The book alternates between present time Kim, the mother of the missing girl, present time Sophie, a Londoner new to town who also has to be a mystery writer, and past-tense Tallulah, the girl who ends up missing. Through the various points of view and moments in time, the reader can put together a more complete picture of what was going on.
This book kept me reading and wondering what really happened. I had my own guesses, which changed as more information was revealed, but I didn't figure it all out until right as it was being revealed.
