Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Then She Vanishes, written by Claire Douglas, read by Sian Thomas, Katie O'Flynn, Nathalie Buscombe and Olivia Dowd.

That summer, the three girls had the world at their feet. Now, one is missing.

On a summer's night in 1994, 16-year-old Flora Powell vanished from her sleepy seaside town. She left no trace - only heartache for her mother and her sister, Heather.

And one is a murderer.

Twenty-five years later, Heather walks into a stranger's house. There, the loving wife and doting new mother kills two people in cold blood.

So only one remains...

Jess is sent to report on the case that shocked the hometown she left behind. But it's anything but business to her. She was like a sister to the Powell girls, until the summer that tore them all apart.

Can Jess find the key to both their mysteries?

Or will her search reveal a darker side to the place she grew up - and put her in danger?

Brilliant

I came to this book after listening to couple at no.9 (which I loved).

I’m pretty sure that I guessed the outcome of this book but I changed my mind about 20 times as it kept twisting and turning and there were so many different elements. I love a book that actually disturbs me, and this one did, more in a sad way.

I’ve read other reviews were people comment on it being ‘long winded’ which I don’t agree with. There were several different mysteries, and with these sorts of books, you can’t rush an ending otherwise people will complain about it being sloppy and chucked together. It tied up perfectly. Brilliant

Excellent plot

This is one of the better books in this genre that I have listened to (about 100). The plot is very believable and, at times heartbreaking; the characters don’t make you cringe or roll your eyes. The final twist was very good and I felt that the author was very meticulous in leaving no questions unanswered.
An excellent listen.

My home town

I didn't know previously that Then She Vanishes was based in Bristol, so it was a nice surprise. My husband's ancestors owned the Llandoger Trow
I felt the story flowed well. I had guessed some of the twist and turns but it didn't distract me from the book
There were, however, some inconsistencies. I can't say them as it would be a spoiler.
Overall I recommend this audio.

Absolutely fantastic

Lots of plot twists but very easy to keep track of what’s going on, loved the narrators silky voices, all of them,
Definitely recommend this book, it was refreshing to view this through a journalist perspective instead of the usual DCI

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book, it went between characters and the past and present day really well without being confusing. The "mystery" was pretty easy to guess but I still really loved listening to this. I definitely recommend it.
