MEDIA 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
'Absolutely loved this one by Lisa Jewell - compelling,deep,surprising,tense,modern. Most thrillers are in black and white to me in terms of character and Lisa is blazing saturated technicolour.'-Gillian McAllister
'The only thing predictable about this ending is how unpredictable it is.'- Eastern Daily Press
