I’ve been looking forward to Ms. Jewell’s Then She Was Gone since I finished the last page of her stellar I Found You. It did not disappoint. A tale of a missing girl, a mother’s shattered life and the gradual rebuilding of a family, this twisting, turning mystery will have you reading into the wee…
I discovered Lisa Jewell’s books in the spring of 2017, and was instantly hooked. She writes psychological thrillers that may seem pretty similar to a bunch of others out there, but are quite complex if you look beneath the surface.
