This was so good. The killer was expected but the boyfriend angle surprised me.
One of my new favourite psychological/mystery thriller authors!
This was my second Lisa Jewell book in just a few weeks, and I’m sure it won’t be my last. I’ve really fallen in love with her writing style and how she builds her stories. Compared to ‘None of This Is True’, the plot of 'Then She Was Gone’ felt more shallow. As readers, we’re always a step ahead of the characters thanks to hints and foreshadowing, but this time it took some of the tension out of the story. Still, it was an entertaining, well-paced and easy read!
Es un libro raro te deja pensando en todo y creo que la cosa no está en adivinar quien lo hizo porque eso lo logré adivinar desde que Noelle salió y también que Floyd tenia algo que ver. Lo que verdaderamente sorprende es ver lo qué pasó y cómo pasó, Noelle encerrando a Ellie en su sótano y embarazándola es muy perturbador pero es lo que hace que el libro funciones. Enseñanzas de este libro nunca despides a tu profesora particular rara de matemáticas
"If she could unwind the timeline, untwist it and roll it back the other way like a ball of wool, she'd see the knots in the yarn, the warning signs. Looking at it backward it was obvious all along." Brilliant! Lisa Jewells writing is addictive. The plot was nothing entirely new, but she knows how to take something that should be predictable and put her own twisted spin on it. The well developed characters, atmosphere and raw emotions makes her novels so great. Especially the well written psychopaths. There is also a blend of different genres in her stories that makes them appealing to a wide variety of readers. The suspension builds steadily throughout the book and the more I read, the more unputdownable it became. There is an emotional punch to the gut as the tension builds toward a dramatic end. It got really dark and I felt so...weird? after finishing this book. This certainly hit different.
This was heart-breaking and haunting, the characterization was very well done, as was the switching in perspectives. I enjoyed the emphasis put on family and the dysfunctional dynamics that escalate after Elli goes missing. I especially enjoyed Laurel as a character. She's not there just for exposition, she's not only a grieving mother but a flawed human being with petty grudges, but deep down she truly loves her family and I loved seeing her journey of acceptance. The mystery aspect was cleared up fairly quickly but does not take away from the story.
It was definitely a quick read - 4 hours
This was weird.. weird but it made sense in a way. I guessed mostly all of the twists but it was still entertaining and was easy to read
Overall I did quite enjoy this. I liked the characters and enjoyed to watch the story unravel and the use of the different timelines which gave you more insight. However, I do have to say that I did guess the main twist quite early on. I didn't know the exact details so it was still interesting to find out what actually happened and who was involved in Ellie's disappearance. Together with Lisa Jewels writing style which I did quite enjoy, this was still a 3.5/4 star read for me!
4.5 ⭐️ Did not expect to enjoy this one so much
