Meanwhile, Noelle Donnelly – Ellie’s former math tutor – is seen as mentally unstable, yet Jewell gives her a backstory with her only sister dying at a young age. This leads to a strained relationship with the latter. Jewell portrays Laurel sympathetically, yet at the same time, the author acknowledges that she has some flaws like favoring Ellie over her other daughter Hanna during the former’s lifetime. Readers get to see how the family dynamic fell apart after Ellie vanished. The characters were pretty realistic, especially Laurel and Noelle Donnelly. In other words, the book is like The Childby Fiona Barton if it had mainly focused on how Angela and her family dealt with the disappearance and how she fell apart because of it.
Unanswered questions that Laurel had tried to bury rise up as well as new ones about Floyd and Poppy. One of whom is his youngest Poppy, who looks a lot like Ellie. Soon after, they start dating, and she meets his daughters. Ten years later, her recently divorced mother Laurel is trying to put her life back together when she meets Floyd Dunn in a café. In Then She Was Gone, a 15-year-old girl named Ellie Mack – the apple of her family’s eye – goes missing.
However, I recently read Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell – another book that falls under that category, but its characters and twists make it worthwhile. Even though those novels were good, I’m kind of getting bored, especially if I know what the outcome is going to be a third of the way in. She lives in north London with her husband, two teenage daughters and the best dog in the world.For a while on this website, I’ve been reviewing suspense books, specifically ones with the “missing person” trope. Lisa is a New York Times and Sunday Times number one bestselling author who has been published worldwide in over twenty-five languages.
Since then she has written another twenty novels, most recently a number of dark psychological thrillers, including The Girls, Then She Was Gone, The Family Upstairs and The Night She Disappeared. Her first novel, Ralph's Party, was the best- selling debut novel of 1999. She lives in north London with her husband, two teenage daughters and the best dog in the world.
