mystery
Kim’s 19 year old daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend go out on a
date night to have a break from raising their newborn son and never return
home.
The Night She Disappeared is a gripping missing persons story which grabs you
from the beginning. This is the third novel I’ve read by Lisa Jewell and she
has that skill of placing the reader in a potentially tragic and confusing
mystery to which they simply must learn the answers. It was a compelling story
full of interesting situations. I can’t say too much without giving away any
revelations so I’ll just say that I really enjoyed it.
My big complaint is that it bounced between three separate
time periods and it took me a while to orient myself in the proper time/place
at the start of each chapter. This was difficult while listening to the
audiobook since the narrator didn’t pause much after announcing the date at the
start of each chapter. So, I often had to rewind 15 seconds to reset the
timeframe in mind properly.
Speaking of the audiobook, it was narrated by Joanne Froggatt. Her voice acting was good and she did have a bit of a voice
repertoire so I’ll give her an A-. It would’ve been a solid A if she’d somehow
emphasized the date at the beginning of each chapter better.
