Review :
I really enjoyed reading my first Lisa Jewel. I can see now where all the hype was coming from and I’m glad the hype is real! The Night She Disappeared was so different from other thrillers that I’ve read. Most often, I’m only vexed by the incessant banter and unnecessary imaginations of the side characters (or so we think), adding their bits and contributions to the plot but this time it wasn’t like that. Every character felt equally important and unnerving.
There are lose ends everywhere, but somehow you get the feeling that they’re all connected. If you notice closely, you’ll see those hints everywhere but without the lock you won’t know which key to use.
I’m so thankful for the uninterrupted narration and jumpy pace. This is the kind of book that you wouldn’t want to skip even a line. Not because you would miss the plot but because it’s just so well written and interesting. Definitely recommend.

Every so often we readers find a book that reads like this, so well constructed that it is a joy to read every line. Not only because the story is compelling, but the writing itself, sentences, word choice, etc. has been so lovingly crafted it would be a Shane to miss any.
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
