About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Mum, there's some people here from college, they asked me back to theirs. Just for an hour or so. Is that OK?

Midsummer 2017: teenage mum Tallulah heads out on a date, leaving her baby son at home with her mother, Kim.

At 11pm she sends her mum a text message. At 4.30am Kim awakens to discover that Tallulah has not come home.

Friends tell her that Tallulah was last seen heading to a pool party at a house in the woods nearby called Dark Place.

Tallulah never returns.

2018: walking in the woods behind the boarding school where her boyfriend has just started as a head-teacher, Sophie sees a sign nailed to a fence.

A sign that says: dig here....

A cold case. An abandoned mansion. A family hiding a terrible secret.

Prepare to be hooked. Lisa Jewell's latest thriller is her best yet.

Critic reviews

I love all Lisa's books, but The Night She Disappeared is by far her best thriller yet. (Harlan Coben)
Lisa has certainly done it again with another first class mystery. It's got it all - captivating characters, a mysterious mansion in the woods and a burning question set up from the start to draw the reader in. I just had to know what happened next. Totally enthralling. (Harriet Tyce)
Lisa Jewell has made a thriller out of my favourite literary ingredients. Abandoned mansion [tick]. Sex [tick]. Boarding school [tick]. SECRET TUNNELS [tick]. Kick-ass matriarch [tick]. Clues in paintings [tick]. I predict another number one. (Erin Kelly)

Wonderful narration & Good story

It starts of a little slow but it gets better and more engaging! This is my 2nd book from Lisa Jewels and I'm not disappointed! Love how she manages to reveal every character bit by bit and we finally see the big picture. Narration was fantastic!

Brilliant

Oh my word!!! Couldn’t put this book down. Joanne Froggat narrated this book absolutely perfectly. She created different voices and accents for each character. Lisa Jewell has become my new favourite author.

Amazing story and amazing audio performance!

Not so complicated plots, but really amazing as to how the whole story develops. The author absolutely has very good techniques to involve readers in, both emotionally and logically. And also very brilliant writing skills with beautiful words and metaphors. The performance is also significant! I do love this voice that has texture, emotion and richness in it! And the way she performs different characters and makes everyone very distinct from one another! What a book!

Shifting perspectives

Loved it. The feeling of dread and anxiety during Tallulahs chapters was like a heavy blanket. It really needed both Kim’s sympathetic pov but especially Sophie that was a little more “distant” and read like a detective. Incredible performance by the narrator, especially Scarlett’s and Zach’s voices were so convincing and overall just a super engaging and competent performance by the narrator.

FABULOUS, FABULOUS LISTEN

For lovers of the mystery/suspense genre, this is a book not to be missed. I think this is the best Lisa Jewell book yet and this author just continues to outdo herself. As far as writing is concerned, there is not one foot out of place. The plot is tight and well constructed, the characters are each well drawn and the performance by Joanne Froggatt is perfect. It is a book I just wanted to never end and thoroughly recommend to all lovers of good books.

13 hours flow away

Missing students, layer upon layer mystery, I enjoyed it tremendously. 13 hours flow away. Three timelines with three narrators and enigma became more enigmatic chapter by chapter.
