Then She Was Gone - Paperback

A teenage daughter's disappearance, and the years a mother spends living in its shadow, give Lisa Jewell's novel its shape. Jewell writes psychological suspense that stays close to domestic life, where the tension comes from relationships and withheld information rather than chases or action. The 435-page Arrow paperback moves between perspectives, a structure the genre uses to let readers see more than any single character can. It reads quickly, which is part of the appeal, but the emotional material around grief and family is handled with more care than a plot-first thriller usually allows. Before you add it to the cart: • Psychological suspense centred on a missing teenager • 435 pages, published in paperback by Arrow • Multiple viewpoints used to build and hold tension • A domestic setting rather than a police procedural Suits thriller readers, book club discussion and anyone who reads suspense for character as much as plot, found at Boipoka.
