About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Mum, there's some people here from college, they asked me back to theirs. Just for an hour or so. Is that OK?

Midsummer 2017: teenage mum Tallulah heads out on a date, leaving her baby son at home with her mother, Kim.

At 11pm she sends her mum a text message. At 4.30am Kim awakens to discover that Tallulah has not come home.

Friends tell her that Tallulah was last seen heading to a pool party at a house in the woods nearby called Dark Place.

Tallulah never returns.

2018: walking in the woods behind the boarding school where her boyfriend has just started as a head-teacher, Sophie sees a sign nailed to a fence.

A sign that says: dig here....

A cold case. An abandoned mansion. A family hiding a terrible secret.

Prepare to be hooked. Lisa Jewell's latest thriller is her best yet.

Critic Reviews

I love all Lisa's books, but The Night She Disappeared is by far her best thriller yet. (Harlan Coben)
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. (Harriet Tyce)
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. (Erin Kelly)

loved this book. it was intricately woven and beautifully narrated. had me guessing until the end. A dark, twisty tale that I was very sad to have finished.

what a gripping book

I enjoyed this novel so much that I literally couldn’t stop myself from listening. Every spare minute I listened. I loved the narration, thought the switch between characters was seamless. If I was going to have any criticism, and it’s barely worth mentioning but I thought 2yr old Noah knew way too many words for one so young ;-) Ending was skilfully crafted & mostly unexpected. I now look forward to purchasing my next book by this very talented author. Thank you Lisa, keep up the great book writing 😃

My 1st Lisa Jewell novel…where’s the next one!
