The Night She Disappeared is a slow burn eery mystery set in the country side of the UK. The atmosphere was fantastic. I, mean, it involves a house called ‘Dark Place’ and also had dark academia vibes with the boarding school.

A cold case, an abandoned mansion, family trauma, and dark secrets are the recipe for Lisa Jewell’s latest new novel. One that I couldn’t put down and read in less than 24 hours!
Rating: Ok, so I read this one in less than 24 hours and need to know what was going on, but when I got there . . . I was kind of let down. It was like driving to Disneyland and then only going to the parking lot. Do I still recommend it? Heck Yeah!!!
