Reseñas de la Crítica

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.

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

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

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)

A tense clever page-tuner that everyone will be talking about. (Adele Parks)

She has departed from her usual chick lit and gone full tilt into a psycho thriller, but she’s lost none of her brilliance. Indeed, I think this is my favourite of hers so far… Deeply emotional and incredibly clever. Bravo

Unnerving, and with a juicy reveal, this is rightly a modern classic

Jewell builds a gripping novel around a maze of dark secrets, a tautly wound psychological thriller in which the suspense builds slowly. Her storytelling is immaculate, hopping between past and present, and in and out of characters. It’s a tough read at times, but Jewell always keeps everything moving. The intrigue never flags as she pushed towards a redemptive resolution. As astute and emotionally charged read, riddled with creepiness. Fully recommended

Smart and engrossing

Wow!

Wow, the story is incredible! Loved it! All the twists and turns held my attention throughout.

Far fetched but enjoyable

As with many of the reviews here, the book was entertaining and I was very keen to find out what happened, but the author was so keen to leave the reader feeling satisfied at the end of the book, that it was tied up with too many unbelievable pieces. So yes, I feel satisfied, but it was definitely at the sacrifice of the believability of the story. Would prefer something more realistic, even if it means leaving me with a bit more anguish.

What a wild ride !

Another page turner by Lisa Jewell ! I couldn't stop listening, loved the multiple POV and how the whole story tied together at the end.

surpricingly moving

I had take this book just as easy (good) reading. Was surpriced that I was somehow moved by this story. Good story, good reading for free time...

Interesting book

Had no idea how this book would end, which is always a good thing. Interesting to listen and was surprised in the end. Would recommend!

Cool!!!!!!!!!!

really liked this story and how it's performed, good suspance and well developed characters& story

Absolutely brilliant

I don't normally do reviews but this was such a great listen. Compelling story with plenty of twists and turns. The narrator did a great job too.

Found it interesting but not exciting

Not greatly excited by the crime story, surprised it averaged 4.5. I thought the ending could have been better. Had the story worked out about half way through, but an interesting crime story.

Always a twist

Great story, totally involves you in the characters a twist to the story. love this author and best narrator ever!

Loved the characters

This is my first book by Lisa Jewel, but it definitely won't be my last. What stood out most for me was her brilliant use of different character voices and timelines when telling the story. Although I knew quite early on what the big twist would be, I became invested in all the characters and had problems putting down the book to deal with real life.

I really liked Laurel, even though she was grieving the disappearance of her daughter, she was brave, funny and always wiling to admit her mistakes. It loses a star because the ending was too perfect for my taste.

I listened to the audio and the narrator, Gabrielle Glaister, and she did an excellent job, especially with Laurel and and Noelle. I'm very happy to see that she is also the reader for a few other Lisa Jewell books.

If you are in the mood for a mystery, I highly recommend Then She Was Gone
