Prologue PROLOGUE

Those months, the months before she disappeared, were the best months. Really. Just the best. Every moment presented itself to her like a gift and said, Here I am, another perfect moment, just look at me, can you believe how lovely I am? Every morning was a flurry of mascara and butterflies, quickening pulse as she neared the school gates, blooming joy as her eyes found him. School was no longer a cage; it was the bustling, spotlit film set for her love story.

Ellie Mack could not believe that Theo Goodman had wanted to go out with her. Theo Goodman was the best-looking boy in year eleven, bar none. He’d also been the best-looking boy in year ten, year nine, and year eight. Not year seven though. None of the boys in year seven were good-looking. They were all tiny, bug-eyed babies in huge shoes and oversized blazers.

Theo Goodman had never had a girlfriend and everyone thought maybe he was gay. He was kind of pretty, for a boy, and very thin. And just, basically, really, really nice. Ellie had dreamed about being with him for years, whether he was gay or not. She would have been happy just to have been his friend. His young, pretty mum walked to school with him every day. She wore gym gear and had her hair in a ponytail and usually had a small white dog with her that Theo would pick up and kiss on the cheek before placing it gently back down on the pavement; then he would kiss his mum and saunter through the gates. He didn’t care who saw. He wasn’t embarrassed by the powder-puff dog or his mum. He was self-assured.

Then one day last year, just after the summer holiday, he had struck up a conversation with her. Just like that. During lunch, something to do with some homework assignment or other, and Ellie, who really knew nothing much about anything, knew immediately that he wasn’t gay and that he was talking to her because he liked her. It was totally obvious. And then, just like that, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She’d thought it would be more complicated.

But one wrong move, one tiny kink in the time line, it was all over. Not just their love story, but all of it. Youth. Life. Ellie Mack. All gone. All gone forever. If she could rewind the timeline, untwist it and roll it back the other way like a ball of wool, she’d see the knots in the yarn, the warning signs. Looking at it backward it was obvious all along. But back then, when she knew nothing about anything, she had not seen it coming. She had walked straight into it with her eyes open.

Recensione

A MISSING GIRL. A BURIED SECRET.

From the acclaimed author of I Found You and the Richard & Judy bestseller, The Girls, comes a compulsively twisty psychological thriller that will keep you gripped to the very last page.

― from the publisher's description

Both utterly gripping and startlingly original. Prepare to be hooked. ― Sun

I defy you to put this addictive book down until you reach the final heart-breaking page ― Daily Express

What begins as a story about the mother of a missing girl starting a new relationship as she comes terms with her grief morphs into a gripping, disturbing and utterly fascinating tale about what really happened to young Ellie Mack. I've been a Lisa Jewell fan for a long time and in this book, as in all her others, she deftly weaves a compelling plot with an emotional depth that leaves you gasping. In Then She Was Gone she has created a book that is dark and claustrophobic but also heartfelt and moving. Then She Was Gone packs a huge emotional punch that will leave you winded. I loved it. -- CL Taylor, author of The Escape, The Lie and The Missing

A dark, compulsive psychological thriller, yet one which is also uplifting and tender. I absolutely loved Then She Was Gone. -- Rachel Rhys, author of Dangerous Crossing 9733 --Questo testo si riferisce a un'edizione fuori stampa o non disponibile di questo titolo.

Controversial feelings

Recensito in Italia il 12 ottobre 2020

Ho letto il libro in alcuni giorni, divorandolo, quindi posso affermare che mi sia piaciuto, ma non ritengo di poterlo acclamare come altri fanno. E' sicuramente una lettura coinvolgente, una storia che cattura, ma più per rispondere agli interrogativi che l'autrice pone all'inizio che per il piacere di farlo. La storia si intuisce presto e si sviluppa in modo abbastanza banale. La prima metà del libro è abbastanza noiosa. Non ho trovato una forte caratterizzazione dei personaggi, anche se effettivamente c'è più approfondimento rispetto ai libri di questo genere, poi però si perde in dettagli, delicati temi trattati marginalmente e un finale deludente. Però lo consiglierei lo stesso.

SPOILER
SPOILER
SPOILER

A parte lo sgomento iniziale della madre per la scomparsa di Ellie, non viene trattato il lutto/trauma dei famigliari e i loro reciproci rapporti appena accennati. La prima metà è interamente incentrata sulla conoscenza tra Laurel e Floyd con inutili lungaggini su primi appuntamenti e presentazioni.
Apprezzo che Laurel sia una donna comune, con debolezze, errori e fragilità, ma - di nuovo- ritengo che il personaggio sia approfondito poco. Gli altri personaggi, anche protagonisti, vengono indirettamente abbozzati.
Passata la prima metà, la storia è abbastanza intuibile, dunque ci si chiede perchè si è passato tutto il tempo che precede a leggere del romance tra Laurel e Floyd. Alcuni dei personaggi di contorno sono inoltre assolutamente superflui.
Man mano che i fatti vengono svelati, peraltro con il confusorio alternarsi tra prima e terza persona, il libro diventa disturbing e piuttosto dark. La scrittura è certamente apprezzabile, ma non si può dire sia piacevole. Per quanto, però, almeno quello è reale e crudo.
Purtroppo però è contrasto con il finale del 'tutti vissero felici e contenti' con tanto di matrimonio e nuova routine famigliare con la 'nuova arrivata' Poppy, senza traumi. Dopo tanta cruda realtà e verosimiglianza, un finale del genere è pura fiction e stona - per la mia opinione. Così come la lettera di Ellie. Avrei preferito un finale in linea con la narrazione precedente.

This is my first book by Lisa Jewell and it definitely won't be my last. This story will haunt me for a long time... The author did a wonderful job of depicting Laurel's grief and her battle to get a grip on her life and turn it back to a semblance of normality. The reader is lured into thinking that finally things a starting to look brighter for the grieving mother, all the while sensing that something is terribly wrong. Very well written, descriptive and well fleshed out characters. Disappearing children has always been a favourite theme for me, and certainly didn't disappoint ! Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good thriller-mystery!

Unusual plot, engrossing, a real page-turner.

Recensito in Italia il 18 febbraio 2019

Acquisto verificato

Such an unusual plot. I liked it a lot.

Told by different voices, it offers different points of view. Which makes the book really engrossing, a real page-turner.

The ending is especially unexpected and moving.

I have read this book soon after "The girl next door" by Jack Ketchum and it's strange how similar to some extent the two stories are.

I feel like I do not want to spoil any of the fun you will have reading it, so le me just tell you that you will find strong charachters, a plot well concocted, some unexpected twists, and a very good writing.

Enjoy your reading!

La storia è top, ma il libro è arrivato rovinato.

Recensito in Italia il 6 marzo 2022

Acquisto verificato

La storia mi ha preso molto e mi è piaciuta(come tutti gli altri libri di Lisa) ma purtroppo è arrivato leggermente rovinato. Può sembrare una cavolata, ma visto che ho pagato, vorrei aver ricevuto il prodotto intatto.

Recensito in Italia il 24 gennaio 2020

Libro fantastico dalla scrittura scorrevole, i giusti elementi per conferire suspense e mistero, e dei personaggi ben delineati e distinti fra loro. L'ho divorato in pochi giorni perché ogni capitolo che leggevo non faceva altro che farmi venire voglia di leggere il successivo! Lo consiglierei a chiunque sia un fan di gialli, come per esempio quelli della grande Agatha Christie!

Caveat emptor

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 settembre 2018

Acquisto verificato

Let me say first off, that the book is well written, well crafted, and just plain good. I bumped up against the ads for it on The New Yorker website, then on Amazon, and as always, am looking for a good, well written suspense/thriller/mystery type read. ( I don't think there are enough of them being spun out!) The hook had me, What The **** Happened to Ellie? The writing lures you in.......the whole family saga thing, dysfunction, loss, grief, etc. What I really want to say is, like my headline, caution. This is a very, very disturbing book. The central characters emerge slowly and if you are like me, I'm reading along wanting to find out wtf happened to Ellie? And unlike many readers, I don't try to figger out what happened, who dunnit...... what you find out about Ellie and the other characters in the book is scary stuff. So, what I'm saying is, if you are a sensitive soul who is is averse to childhood abuse/torture and highly damaged manipulative people, I'd suggest not reading this.

I gave it 5 stars for the craft of writing, it is well written, and the writing supports the the plot and story, in spite of what i've said re: caveat emptor.

What a story !!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 24 febbraio 2018

Acquisto verificato

I have read a number of Lisa's novels but for me this was the best. What an imagination this lady has. I did think maybe it was a little far fetched as I was partway through the book then rethought ' Is it '. Sadly, shocking things happen in real life as we read in the press. It has certainly kept me gripped from start to finish and when I had to put it down out of necessity I couldn't wait to pick it up again. I haven't said anything about the storyline as I don't want to give anything away but suffice to say it was an excellent read and highly recommended. Look forward to reading Lisa's next novel.

Utterly brilliant!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 18 gennaio 2018

Acquisto verificato

One of the best psychological thrillers I’ve ever read! Pacy, emotional and completely heart-wrenching at times; I couldn’t put this book down and devoured it in 2 days.

It’s not often I’ll take the time to review books but I needed to gush about this one. The distressing reality of Laurel’s situation hits you within the first few pages and grips you until the very last. I can’t recommend this book highly enough and will be looking out for more of Lisa Jewell’s work!

and what a great read it was

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 luglio 2018

Acquisto verificato

This was a free choice from Amazon Prime, and what a great read it was! At first I thought it might be somewhat tedious, but as I continued the characters developed. A couple of times I thought I could see how it was going to progress, and although at times I was heading in the right direction, I then was surprised too! This isn't a heart in the mouth thriller, nor is there gratuitous violence. The latter is left to your imagination. It certainly is a well crafted story, albeit leaning to the bizarre. But in defence, there are strange people out there that we have no comprehension of how they live their lives. I found it compelling reading and will now explore her as an author!

Waiting for the twist, there isn't one.

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 ottobre 2018

Acquisto verificato

I read this book in 2 days simply because I was waiting for it to get better. The thriller part never kicks in, I am the biggest baby and this was scary or even tense at any point. The plot is given away in the first half of the book, I read the rest hoping for a twist to explain why the book didn't end after it was revealed what happened but it never came. Not sure why it has such rave reviews.
