Then She Was Gone

Lisa Jewell is a gifted author effortlessly blending emotion mystery and thrill in her writing. And this book doesn’t disappoint. Wonderful writing. That said this is a dark sad book which could wear you down psychologically if you are so oriented. Just a heads up

This was a roller coaster ride.The positives of this book are very crisp writing, and it's excellent at making the reader go through the book and keeping the excitement and tempo high. That doesn't mean to say that the book doesn't have good vocabulary. It does.The characters are really fleshed out, the motivation and the treatment seems real, while though sometimes it drags on for too much but, that's perfectly understandable .The plot is richly thought out, and very intricately designed and built. While again it sometimes, slags and a few things could have been avoided, and a few things felt predictable, overall, it keeps the reader in the story.

What a wonderfully crafted narrative. Despite being someone who reads thriller novels often, I never could anticipate what’s coming next. Could not put the book down once I started with it. Lisa Jewell is a master storyteller.

I found it to be a good read but not captivating enough. Story was predictable from the start. Some extremes have been written which take you in a non-realistic world.

I chose the book at start randomly from a suggestion of Kindle. But thank God I did or else would have lost the chance to enjoy such a wonderful work by Lisa Jewel. I was so involved, I felt helpless that I couldn't do anything . All in all it's a great read. The characters will live in my heart forever. Even Floyd Dunn.
