Things move quickly, and soon she’s meeting his family, including his unusual, brilliant nine-year old … who happens to look exactly like Ellie. Ten years later, her marriage long over and her other children grown, Laurel falls into a sudden romance with a man she meets over coffee. The story begins with Laurel Mack, a mother irrevocably shaken by the disappearance of Ellie, her favorite daughter. This spine-tingling thriller with a plot reminiscent of The Lovely Bones had me torn on whether to sympathize with its multiple narrators or completely distrust their every word. Once I opened it, I found myself trapped in Lisa Jewell’s addictive plot and unable to move from my seat, much to my cuddly calico’s delight. Attention, readers with pets: I hereby confirm that Then She Was Gone is lap-cat approved.
