My Review:

I’m such a huge fan of this author so you can imagine my excitement to be invited onto the blog tour for Then She Vanishes, her latest book. I was definitely not disappointed as this book was a completely absorbing and very gripping read!

This book gripped me from the start with the unsettling prologue and I was quickly involved in the mystery of what happened to Flora the night she vanished. I had many theories about what had happened which all turned out to be wrong which I always love. The many twists kept turning the story in a new direction which kept me firmly on my toes and ensured I kept reading as I had to know what happened.

The story is pretty fast paced and there is a lot of intrigue to keep the reader’s interest. I actually felt a lot of sympathy with Jess and Heather as they were both quite young when Flora went missing and didn’t really have much idea that their small lies could have caused such huge problems. The author does a great job of portraying their feelings throughout the book so that they are almost tangible and this made the story seem more realistic to me as I felt I was actually there experiencing everything alongside them.

Huge thanks to Jenny Platt for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book. I’m very excited to read more from this talented author.
