Published in 2017, Then She Was Gone is my favourite so far of Lisa Jewell’s novels. Fifteen year old golden girl Ellie goes missing and her family slowly splinter apart. Ten years later Ellie’s mother meets Poppy, a child who bears a shocking resemblance to Ellie. How is this possible? So many secrets. So much sadness and pain. Jewell has created a little gem of a thriller with enough emotional punch to linger long after it’s finished.
