As Tallulah’s story got closer and closer to revealing what happened to her, I was truly on the edge of my seat. I felt like there was a clue or reveal at every turn. Jewell is certainly an expert at pacing her stories. She also steps in and raises her grandchild despite going through such a hard time herself. Her love for Tallulah only grew stronger, and her determination to find out what happened that night never fades. You could really feel the sense of loss Kim was feeling, with some hope woven in between. Grief and the love a parent feels for their child are certainly strong themes woven throughout the story. Sophie’s is equally intriguing as she is drawn into the mystery of what happened to the young couple. Kim’s point of view is full of grief and knowing deep down that her daughter is a loving mother who would never abandon her son. Because of the couple’s age, they are often written off by the police as a young couple running away from responsibility. Tallulah’s leads up to the night she disappeared and her struggles between balancing going to school and being a young mother. The Night She Disappeared follows three distinct and equally intriguing points of view and alternating timelines. While exploring the woods surrounding her new home, she sees a note fixed to a tree that says ‘DIG HERE’ that reopens a missing person's case that had long grown cold. A couple of years later, Sophie, an author of mystery books, moves to the area with her husband. While her friends think the couple has left the party to head home, they are not heard from again. Tallulah was last seen leaving the pub with her boyfriend to a party at a friend’s house. Kim grows concerned as late evening turns to night and night becomes morning without a word from them. Nineteen-year-old Tallulah and her boyfriend Zach leave their baby with her mother and go out on a much-needed date. You just can’t go wrong and The Night She Disappeared is no exception.

When it comes to thrillers, Lisa Jewell is certainly an author I know will not let me down. Content warnings: Emotional abuse, violence, rape
