The Night She Disappeared- Lisa Jewell- psychological thriller       

It's 2017 and Talullah has a baby and for the first time leaves Noah with

her mother Kim to go with her boyfriend Zach to see some friends.

When the next morning she hasn't returned Kim is understandably

worried and sets out to find her. She is devoted to Noah and would

never leave him. Back in 2019 Sophie has just arrived at the school

where her boyfriend has just got a position as head and is getting to

know both the staff and the area. When she finds a sign in the garden

saying “ dig here ” with an arrow pointing downwards,  she is

intrigued and being a detective writer she has to pursue it which leads

her to the reopening of a case never finalised. I always enjoy Lisa’s

books, there is always that air of mystery and tension in a good way

building as you go through the book. A cleverly crafted plot from a

master writer and planner.  Enough to keep the grey matter active,

nothing to give you nightmares, but enough to keep me awake

wanting to find out more! A gripping read with characters you can

take to. Kim and Sophie both come across as well rounded, caring

people wanting to find the truth. A plot to stir the imagination and

to keep the pages turning. A highly enjoyable read.
