A 2018 Goodreads Choice Award Finalist--Top 5 Best Mystery & Thriller * A Suspense Magazine "Best of 2018" Thriller/Suspense Pick

"An acutely observed family drama with bone-chilling suspense." --People

"Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace, leaving readers on the edge of their seats. Her multilayered characters are sheer perfection, and even the most astute thriller reader won't see where everything is going until the final threads are unknotted." --Booklist, starred review

"Sharply written with twists and turns, Jewell's latest will please fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, or Luckiest Girl Alive." --Library Journal

Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She was fifteen, the youngest of three. She was beloved by her parents, friends, and teachers. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic post-exams summer vacation, with her whole life ahead of her.

And then she was gone.

Now, her mother Laurel Mack is trying to put her life back together. It's been ten years since her daughter disappeared, seven years since her marriage ended, and only months since the last clue in Ellie's case was unearthed. So when she meets an unexpectedly charming man in a caf , no one is more surprised than Laurel at how quickly their flirtation develops into something deeper. Before she knows it, she's meeting Floyd's daughters--and his youngest, Poppy, takes Laurel's breath away.

Because looking at Poppy is like looking at Ellie. And now, the unanswered questions she's tried so hard to put to rest begin to haunt Laurel anew. Where did Ellie go? Did she really run away from home, as the police have long suspected, or was there a more sinister reason for her disappearance? Who is Floyd, really? And why does his daughter remind Laurel so viscerally of her own missing girl?

Sad thriller

Awesome book. Strange coincidences that turn into something deep and dark and sad.
Classic Girl Goes Missing Mystery?

I loved a lot of Lisa Jewell's books, but this one I couldn't really get into? I liked the premise but the twist was kind of disappointing. I wanted it to be more clever but it kinda just made me uncomfortable? Overall, will keep you guessing but don't expect too much.
A teenage girl suddenly goes missing. The police say she ran away however she had no motive. 10 years go by and still no trace.

I loved this book! I’m not usually into thrillers and suspense but this book was so good I couldn’t put it down. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about the characters and what might happen next. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was wrong. #springpicks

Really enjoyed every minute of this book and another I could not put down. Lisa Jewell does a great job of writing. It was quite interesting and full of suspense. The surprise ending was something else. I highly recommend it!
