The Night She Disappeared: A Novel
A 2022 Audie Award Finalist

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True comes “her best thriller yet” (Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author) about a young couple's disappearance on a gorgeous summer night, and the mother who will never give up trying to find them.

On a beautiful summer night in a charming English suburb, a young woman and her boyfriend disappear after partying at the massive country estate of a new college friend.

One year later, a writer moves into a cottage on the edge of the woods that border the same estate. Known locally as the Dark Place, the dense forest is the writer's favorite place for long walks and it's on one such walk that she stumbles upon a mysterious note that simply reads, “DIG HERE.”

Could this be a clue towards what has happened to the missing young couple? And what exactly is buried in this haunted ground?

“Utterly gripping with richly drawn, hugely compelling characters, this is a first-class thriller with heart” (Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author) that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Editorial Reviews

ADELE PARKS

I’m calling it early. This is Lisa’s best book yet, and she always sets that bar high! Stayed up so late because I couldn’t put it down.

LOUSE CANDLISH

A head-scratching, heart-racing, page-turning triumph – I think this might be my favourite Lisa Jewell yet.

JANE CORRY

A nail-biting, heart-thudding, ‘please-let-her-be-all-right’ stunner of a novel. Left me reeling.

Good Morning America

The queen of thrillers.

GILLIAN McALLISTER

‘Tallulah suffers from arachnophobia. Tallulah is in the dark.’ Absolutely loved this one by Lisa Jewell – compelling, deep, surprising, tense, modern. Most thrillers are in black and white to me in terms of character and Lisa is blazing saturated technicolour.

LUCY FOLEY

Lisa Jewell is one of my favourite writers and this is her best yet. I read it in 24 hours. Utterly gripping with richly drawn, hugely compelling characters, this is a first class thriller with heart.

SHARI LAPENA

No one thickens a plot like Lisa Jewell. I couldn’t put this book down. Jewell just keeps getting better. It’s SO GOOD!

Harlan Coben

I love all Lisa’s books, but The Night She Disappeared is her best thriller yet.

E! Online

Lisa Jewell’s latest thriller is sure to keep you up all night... Rejoice thriller lovers, our queen has returned! Jewell delivers yet another gripping mystery that will have your pulse and mind racing.

HARRIET TYCE

Lisa has certainly done it again with another first class mystery. It’s got it all—captivating characters, a mysterious mansion in the woods and a burning question set up from the start to draw the reader in. I just had to know what happened next. Totally enthralling.

JOANNE HARRIS

Masterly. Gripping from start to finish.

SARAH PERRY

I’m passionately attached to Lisa Jewell, whose novels somehow manage to be good-natured, creepy and tense all at once.

SARAH PEKKANEN

Lisa Jewell is one of the best thriller writers out there, and The Night She Disappeared sets a new high-water mark. Electrifying, chilling and unputdownable. When friends ask for a book recommendation, this is the one I'll be sharing.

The Guardian

Gripping and satisfying, this had me in tears at the end.

From the Publisher

Once again, Lisa Jewell proves herself to be a master of page-turning suspense. With the ease of a Vegas blackjack dealer, she shuffles between the days after Sophie’s discovery, the months leading up to Tallulah’s disappearance, and Kim’s frantic search in the days that followed. I loved the way Jewell teases out the story in delicious bits and pieces before finally hitting us with the shocking truth about what happened that night.” —RILEY SAGER, New York Times bestselling author of Survive the Night

KATHERINE HEINY

Totally absorbing. I felt as though I’d slipped into the book and lived there for a few days, heart pounding. So so so amazing!

MARIAN KEYES

Mother of God, Lisa Jewell’s on fire. The Night She Disappeared is UNBELIEVABLY good. I was utterly utterly agog."

ERIN KELLY

Lisa Jewell has made a thriller out of my favourite literary ingredients. Abandoned mansion [tick]. Sex [tick]. Boarding school [tick]. SECRET TUNNELS [tick]. Kick-ass matriarch [tick]. Clues in paintings [tick]. I predict another number one.

MEGAN COLLINS

Fans of Then She Was Gone will devour Lisa Jewell’s latest. The Night She Disappeared is tense and electric, unleashing a storm of suspense from the very first page. With a mystery as taut and intricate as a spiderweb, this thriller ensnares its reader, gripping them tight until the satisfying and haunting conclusion. Once again, Jewell dazzles.

Booklist

Jewell is skilled at keeping readers on their toes, always challenging our expectations of where a story is heading. . . . If you like to be kept guessing, this one’s for you.

PopSugar

Thriller maestro.

St. Louis Post Dispatch

As usual, the British author draws you in with characters and plot, building just enough tension and suspense that you will be rushing to find out just what happened.

Lee Child

PRAISE FOR THE NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED:

“No one tells stories like this better than Lisa Jewell . . . she gets right into it, doesn’t mess about, puts real-seeming characters with rich interior lives through 350 pages of insane suspense—and then hits us with an ending we never saw coming. I love it.

Goodreads

This new mystery from veteran author Lisa Jewell comes with twists, turns, and a clear moral to the story: Don’t go to parties at houses named the Dark Place.

JOJO MOYES

This weekend I finished Lisa Jewell’s gripping Invisible Girl and it was such a joy not to be able to put a book down. Her best yet."

TheSkimm

"We won't judge if you read with one eye open."

USA Today

Praise for Invisible Girl:

“Lisa Jewell's latest edge-of-your-seat thriller stands out... [she] highlights how our views of the world and of others can often render us blind to what is truly going on around us... brilliant... deft ... surprising."

JANE CASEY

I am always reminded of Ruth Rendell at her very best when I read Lisa Jewell. Not only is her plotting masterful, Lisa has the rare ability to make you care—passionately—about all her characters, whether they are important or minor, instantly appealing or apparently monstrous. Invisible Girl is quite brilliant in every way.”

Woman's World Magazine

"Gripping, haunting, chilling."

MARCH 2022 - AudioFile

Joanne Froggatt, of “Downton Abbey” fame, effectively narrates this slow-burn thriller. The plot involves the disappearance of a young mother and her boyfriend after a night of drinking at the upscale home of a college acquaintance. The story shifts between three timelines and three points of view, so listeners will have to pay careful attention to keep track of the timeframes and the characters. Froggatt works to bring distinctive voices to the key players and is particularly effective at voicing Kim, who is now caring for her grandson because her daughter has disappeared. She also shifts effortlessly to the posh accents of the wealthy neighbors. Jewell provides listeners with appealing and well-rounded personalities and atmospheric settings. This thriller will keep listeners engaged. E.Q. 2022 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
