THENShe was fifteen, her mother's golden girl. She had her whole life ahead of her. And then, in the blink of an eye, Ellie was gone.
NOW It’s been ten years since Ellie disappeared, but Laurel has never given up hope of finding her daughter.And then one day a charming and charismatic stranger called Floyd walks into a café and sweeps Laurel off her feet. Before too long she’s staying the night at this house and being introduced to his nine year old daughter. Poppy is precocious and pretty - and meeting her completely takes Laurel's breath away.
Because Poppy is the spitting image of Ellie when she was that age.And now all those unanswered questions that have haunted Laurel come flooding back.
What happened to Ellie? Where did she go? Who still has secrets to hide?
Then She Was Gone is unlike any other mystery I’ve read. The premise is fairly ordinary. Ellie, a seemingly happy teenage girl with a bright future ahead of her, disappears suddenly without a trace, and her family is torn apart in the aftermath. The “girl gone missing” storyline has been done many times before. However, it’s the complex execution that makes this mystery so unique. I think it would be a great book club selection. Read More
