Book Review
This was a bizarre thriller that I’m not gonna lie, kept me engaged and intrigued. Then She Was Gone was my first Lisa Jewell novel and while I enjoyed it I felt that it didn’t necessarily feel like a thriller. This didn’t keep me up all night and there wasn’t that sense of urgency in the story.
The only thing that really kept me going with this book was the past. I loved reading about the events leading up to Ellie’s disappearance. I would categorize this as a slow burn mystery.
Rating
I would rate this book 3.5/5 stars. I enjoyed it but there are just better thrillers out there.
Age Rating
This book contains language, some sexual content, murder and kidnapping. I would give Then She Was Gone an age rating of 15 and up.
