APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An established master of the psychological thriller, Lisa Jewell returns with another layered mystery, assembling the familiar ominous elements—a derelict woodland mansion, a buried clue—in satisfying new ways. The Night She Disappeared centres on teenaged lovers who never return from a date. When the girl’s mother goes searching for her, that dogged hunt dovetails with the arrival in the neighbourhood of a popular mystery author. Told in converging timelines with clever twists and callbacks along the way, this gothic-tinged tale showcases strong characterisation, especially in the case of the grieving mother.
